Celebrity guest photographer Max Minor recently paid a visit to Shawnimals HQ in Chicago.  Here are some of the images:

The biggest episode of Nerd City yet, Ben and Max are joined by Shawn Smith of Shawnimals, as they discuss the release of Shawn’s new Nintendo DS game, Ninjatown, his time at video game magazine EGM, and his road to nerd success on this super-stuffed episode of Nerd City.

Pics, video and links after the jump…

Shawn is the guest on Nerd City Episode 23. His game, Ninjatown, drops today.

Check out this super cool create your own ninja “Wee Ninjatron” from our friends at Shawnimals! It’s all a part of the madness that is surrounding the new NinjaTown game for the Nintendo DS. This is my ninja, Pete Nice. Post links to your ninjas in the comments.
Access the Wee Ninjatron here.

This may literally be the coolest/nerdiest weekend Chicago has ever had. So do it like Nerd City. After swinging by Rotofugi on Friday, Oct. 10th for the La Merde show, and The Comic Vault’s 2 Year Anniversary Jamboree on Saturday afternoon, head back to Rotofugi Saturday night, Oct. 11th, for the Shawnimals‘ Ninjatown Nintendo DS game pre-release party before swinging over to Oh No! Doom for their “We Need Each Other” art/toy show featuring more work from team Shawnimals. I mean, holy shit.

5-8 p.m.

Check out our friends Veggiesomething, (currently starring in Nerd City Episode 20) Joey Potts, and soon-to-be-Nerd-City-guest Shawnimal at this huge, awesome toy/art show at Oh No! Doom. Look for Nerd City at the event. Or Else.
