D+D NY: Some random thoughts.
-Fred always says that animators will attend the opening of an envelope. So I guess it’s no wonder that our first Drinking and Drawing party in New York was packed with nearly every notable animator in the city: It was way more exciting than the opening of an envelope.
-Animators have a bad reputation for being shy, ugly, nerdy, dorks. Wrong! This was a cool crowd and I didn’t see any nerds anywhere.
-When you have 10 minutes to draw 8 cards, it doesn’t really matter much if you are a legendary director or a sophomore-year art student… It all comes out quite manic and sloppy. But that’s the fun of it! It’s like a level-playing field.
-Check this out:
Bill Plympton
Don Duga
Tom Warburton
Joey Ahlbum.
Just a couple of the legendary animators in attendance. We can’t wait for the next one.
