Hello all,
The “The John and Bill show” was an incredible assortment of entertainment and animation indulgence; thank you to everyone who could come out. John K. and Bill Plympton were signing posters and taking photographs from the time the doors opened all the way until show time. The shows were featuring the work of John K., primarily “Ren & Stimpy” along with a number of rare and unseen footage from his earlier years as an animator, and Bill Plympton, premiering his latest short ”Shut Eye Hotel” and his latest feature “Hair High”.
During the sets Bill Plympton and John K. gave quick interviews about their beginnings in the industry. After the show John and Bill were again signing autographs and taking pictures. Bill Plympton had an assortment of DVD’s, books and original art! He also was handing out free doodles that he did on the spot! John K. also sat and did some original pieces and was creating caricatures.
I have added new notes to the website on last weekends meeting and have a bunch of new content I will be adding over the next few weeks. Right now our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for July 21, but this may change.
I felt this meeting was a big success because it broke away from the usual meeting scenario. I hope we can have more chances to get out and involved in the animation community, for now I am planning the next meeting at AI. Thank you again to everyone in attendance and for helping CATNAP grow!
