An album of Terry Gilliam's collage-style art and sketchbook drawings,narrated by Brian the Badger.
Now it can be told! In this book the secrets of the animator are laid bare.
'The wonderful world of animation' is revealed as a jungle dominated by a keen struggle for survival.Few of those who have thrilled to the wit and beauty of Terry Gilliam's animations for Monty Python will have appreciated the technical
skill not to mention the sheer entrepreneurial ruthlessness that lies behind the animator's craft.Now at last - thanks in large part to this book's abrasive narrator,Brian the Badger - the cackle is cut,the veils of mystique are ripped away and guidance is given to the aspiring animator.How to save money by using the work of dead foreign artists; how to save time on drawing legs by having
your characters walk through long grass; how to impress your friends by doodling over feint-printed drawings in a sketchbook in dark bars.All these skills and many more needed by the animator on his path to fame and fortune are here exposed probably for the first time.This is a vivid and hilarious album of Gilliam's own writing and art.The whole adds up to an outrageous verbal and visual
treatise,a cunningly-linked sequence of pictures and words that will surely please
comic paper and cartoon film addicts just
as much as ardent fans of twentieth-century surrealism.
