Tonight. Excitement before May in the name of Malcolm Sutherland….
Anyone who is interested in animation should perk their little ears up over their midday cappucinos and lift their hooded, weary lids to mine, like the man in this image is doing (courtesy of the pen of Malcolm Sutherland). For what I am to tell you will be of utmost importance in your life, and good enough to cancel whatever plans you might have for tonight (hot dates excepted. but only HOT dates!)
Anyone NOT interested in animation, please re-read the first paragraph and ignore the part about having to be interested in animation. This post is of equal importance for everyone.
Tonight, at 7:30pm at the NFB (on the corner of St Denis and de Maisonneuve) animator, clown, sheep, illustrator, old-soul and dear heart Malcolm Sutherland will be presenting about his creative process and his body of work, including a peek at his latest delight, The Forming Game.
This is going to be truly awesome folks, seriously. Sutherland is already an established artist in the realm of animation, and he is a PUPPY, people, a puppy. I do believe he will be remembered as this generation’s Normal McLaren, I kid you not. Which in and of itself is reason to go see a selection of his films, (they are all creations of a true genius) but why I am encouraging you to ditch your lukewarm dates and come to this instead is because he is a truly affable, engaging fellow who does a genuinely inspiring presentation. You will not be bored. And that date you were going on? You can’t really guarantee the same of that, can you….?

I just want to point out that my favorite animation blog has written about Malcolm in the past: http://www.pelleas.net/aniTOP/index.php?c=1&more=1&pb=1&tb=1&title=malcolm_sutherland
the writer’s taste is impeccable, so yes, ditch tonight’s lukewarm date.
