Dan Meth's Blog

 Last Thursday, Dave Levy of ASIFA East arranged for us to show a selection of Meth Minute cartoons on the big screen at NYU front of an audience. It was great to see the cartoons projected huge (how many pixels wide? MILLIONS) in front of a large group of people. It’s sort of like seeing these films for the first time, and also the way cartoon were originally meant to be viewed.Afterwards, Dave moderated a Q & A session. It was nice to answer some burning questions about The Meth Minute that people had. (13 Watermelons. That’s how many it took!) Fred and Carrie joined me on the panel. We’ll most likely do this again in some form or another, so don’t be sad if you missed it.Dan

Well, kind of… David Levy, the head of ASIFA East wrote this trenchant analysis of my series on his blog. Coming from a guy who runs the biggest animation organization on the east coast and has won awards for his own films, it was an honor to get such a positive appraisal of my work.

But Levy is a man who gives honest opinions about the artform he knows well, and like Mike Tyson, he held back no punches on what he thought of my cartoon about …Mike Tyson.
