BURBANK- Last night Leann and I went to House of Secrets for legendary animator Bill Plympton's book signing. I picked up "
Independently Animated", Bill's biography. Very cool. He signed it and drew a picture of Leann inside the sleeve. Hanging out at a such a cool shop with my wife, good friends, and my favorite animator...quite the evening. After, we all went to Barney's Beanery for a mixer. The fun continued. I've had the pleasure of spending a good chunk of time with Bill inthe last few months, and we always have the best conversations. This guy DOES what I would love to DO. Makes his own feature films, tours them, and owns the rights. Sweet. He's such a nice, warm guy to boot. Like I said, quite the night.

Looks like a really cool time was had by all. I saw Bill's finished drawing of Leann on Facebook...Came out really nice. Of course, he had such a pretty subject, too!
Bill seems like a real 'man of the people'. Good to see that.
Def a blast Jav! Bill's a real gentlemen and very generous with his time and stories. Looking forward to seeing him and Jim collaborate on something in the near future. It's gonna happen!
Thanks Jose /Jav...
Bill is a mensch. Great talent that doesnt hesitate in helping others to reach their goals. Glad to know him.
