I’ve been following Bill Plympton’s career since my early days in film school. Bill being an individual who is able to make a living directly from the art he wants to make, I was instantly drawn to him.

I searched out every interview of him I could find, read his book “Independently Animated: Bill Plympton“, and seeked out DVD’s that contained his work.

Today, I had the honor to chat with him over the phone. I hope you enjoy the interview, learn a lot, and then go out to buy his book “Make Toons That Sell Without Selling Out“
