The Chuck Jones Gallery is pleased to welcome auteur and animator-extraordinaire, Bill Plympton, to the gallery this evening in his first gallery appearance in San Diego. The reception begins at 7 PM at 232 Fifth Avenue (just 1/2 block north of the convention center.)
Premiering original art from Plympton's latest feature length animated film, Idiots and Angels, plus work from his Oscar-nominated short films and the insanely popular series of 'Dog' cartoons, the exhibit is sure to be a Comic Con and collector favorite. Call for more information 888-294-9880.
Plympton is brilliant. He seems to have found the humorous depths of the surreal in the everyday. His "Tune" inspired me as did Chuck Jones. If there is a slower more illuminated path to my dream of being an animator, I have not found it yet, but I will continue to strive. Thanks you both for all the boost, nudges, and reminders why the most challenging of arts is the most beautiful, and fulfilling.
