Podcast 35 - Robert Valley Part 1
🕑 Added 2023-12-30 03:00:48 +0000 UTCRobert Valley and I go back a long way, but don't have many opportunities to talk at length. This time too, was cut short unfortunately, but it got a dialogue started which will be the first of a series. It's recommended to view his two episodes of Love, Death and Robots, Zima Blue and Ice before listening.

I loved this conversation and can’t wait for the next one. It’s interesting to hear where you both land on the “doing art for money” and “doing art without full autonomy” questions. Something I think about a lot and always seems paradoxical. As you say Robert’s film seems uniquely his but he doesn’t see it that way

Love Bill Sienkiewicz, Stray Toasters sits on a pedestal in a brightly lit corner of my mind. I feel like i spent much of my life hunting for art that can give me the same feeling as discovering aeon flux, stray toasters, quay brothers, etc. but the more i experience the less likely that becomes. Even with anthology series like LD&R, a showcase of different artists and styles, i wonder how many it will inspire to create original art, rather than just play in the same sandbox as everyone else.
