Joel Veitch is a web animator and member of the B3ta collective. He is famous for such creations as Tales of the Blode, and singing kittens. Veitch is owner of the web site rathergood.com (http://www.rathergood.com/) and runs the television programme Rathergood Videos, which airs early in the morning on Channel 4. Joel has also created the mildly violent Mr. Stabby animations in collaboration with Jonti Picking. Veitch occasionally refers to himself as "Crab Bloke" (which is the name of his user account on B3ta) and "The Crab of Ineffable Wisdom".
Commercial work
Veitch is responsible for the penguins advertising Switch debit cards and kittens advertising "Crusha" milkshake syrup in the United Kingdom. He is also responsible for the spongmonkeys advertising "Quizno's" in the USA (through the song "We love the subs", based upon "We like the Moon"). His singing kittens have been used in several promo spots on VH1, animating such songs as Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses and I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett.
