The weird thing is that the virus has stopped all live-action motion picture production - so it would seem like a good time for animators, because many of us can do our drawings from the safety of our homes. So, one fortunate thing during this pandemic is that I've been able to get a lot of work done on my next feature, "Slide". Maybe it's odd to look for a silver lining in these dark days of a health scourge, I don't know.
One job I'm very excited about is a music video I'm animating for saxophonist Jeff Pearring - the track is a bit different from the other music videos I've made, no country/western, instead it's full-out experimental jazz. But what's really interesting to me is the opportunity to get really dreamlike and almost abstract with water-colors. Although it still looks Plympton-esque, it's also going to be very crazy and surreal.
It should come out in a few months, I really don't know the title yet, but I'll certainly let you know when I find out.
Here's my gag cartoon for the week - very appropriate for shut-in New Yorkers like me.
Later,
Bill P.
