This is a great animation by Chuck Jones from the 60’s...narrated by Robert Morley. I shared this with my students. This 10 minute animation has a fantastic concept, witty writing and is a great example of simple illustration/animation which really gets the point across. It is clever, funny and entertaining.

My firend Mike Davey in the English Department at VSU sent me this a link to Steve Schofield’s site the other day. I think the images are fantastic, perhaps you will enjoy as well...I couldn’t resist putting the Star Trek photo together with the Dot and the Line still above, both visually and conceptually.

Steve Schofield, from the statement-

My practice is concerned with exploring the fascination that the British public has with American popular culture and the sub-cultural world of fandom. In the images, I have shown people in their own homes and environments wearing costumes that they would be dressed in to attend events with other like-minded individuals. It seeks to offer a glimpse into seemingly ordinary lives of my subjects and allows the private to become public. The work hints at the depth of people's fantasies and the methods they employ to adopt this culture as part of their own lifestyle as a means of escapism. Web - Steve Schofield >
