Oscar-nominated independent animator Bill Plympton (The Tune, Hair High, Guard Dog) will be offering an instructional animation master class at PLASTIC PAPER, a condensed version of the intensive 14-week courses he offers at his own School of Animation in New York. Using viagra to order live drawing as well as examples from his past and upcoming work, Plympton will use a multi-media format to talk about the creative and business aspects of his work as an independent animator. Every attendee of the Master Class will get a free Bill Plympton drawing!
Guest Bio: Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Bill Plympton moved to New York City upon graduation from Portland State University in Graphic Design. He began his career creating cartoons for publications such as New York Times, National Lampoon, Playboy and Screw. In 1987 he was nominated for an Oscar for his short “Your Face”. After producing many shorts that appeared on MTV and Spike and Mike’s, he turned his talent to features. Since 1991 he’s made 7 feature films, 5 of them – “The Tune”, “Mondo Plympton”, “I Married A Strange Person”, “Mutant Aliens” and “Hair High” – being animated features. He has an instantly recognizable style that sets him apart from his fellow animators; in the midst of the digital revolution, Plympton has held true to the pencil and paper.
