Dogshitter Wants

Dogshitter Wants is a series of ten short cartoons broadcast during the early hours of the morning on MTV2. The programme was made by Matt Miller and Dominic del Torto in Flash. It is self-proclaimed, "Officially the most best insane cartoon." It was puzzling statements such as these, in particular, that helped it gain initial notoriety. It also sparked immediate controversy through its inflammatory name and subliminal content.
Dogshitter Wants was a vehicle for the surreal sketches and word play of del Torto and Miller. Although ostensibly concerned with jokes about cultural figures like Elton John & Michel Gondry, quite large parts of the show were impenetrably obscure, and were probably only fully understood by the creators and their immediate friends and associates, particularly those who were part of the dot com industry centred on Brick Lane in London, England.
Dogshitter Wants, although only achieving minor commercial success, takes a small place in the peculiar tradition of English psychedelia and wordplay influenced by Lewis Carroll.
The shows were produced in the Biganimal studios in the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane.
The music of alternate electronica band feature in each episode, but were not broadcast by MTV2 for copyright reasons. The studio created original (and widely considered to be inferior) music for broadcast under the name Terrirer Sex Tantrum. The original music remains on the Dogshitter Wants website.
Each episode features a different artist, some well known professional illustrators and designers, Paris Hair, Dan Abbott, Jon Burgerman and 14 year old schoolboy, Reece Lewis.
