King of the Woild
I received an extraordinary award from the The St. Louis Film Festival. This is proof positive that I am the world’s greatest animator. Bill Plympton received the only other one of these awards some three years ago. My current one makes me a true original. (Somehow I ended up as Vincent Price, but I don’t mind so much. It’s an attractive and large – the key word being large = award. When the award makes it to New York, I’ll post it so you can get a look.
Sorry for the delay in some of the new and recent posts. I’m afraid there will be more to come before everything actually gets new.

Glad to know the reason behind the splog silence. Congratulations on the award.

Vincent Price was terrific, so why not? Looking forward to seeing this award- and of course congratulations Mike!

So, the award is a statuette of Price? And, Plympton got the same trophy but of a different famous person who was born in St. Louis?
Congrats. I recall you writing that you were invited to attend it but don’t recall an award being a part of it. Sounds keen!

I’m going to try to post a link but I’ve had bad luck in recent months.
Here goes something or nothing:

I’m familiar with the venues that the festival used. Despite needing to drive a bit to get from one place to another, it is a nice area, especially the Wash U./Forest Park/Museum areas.
Hope it was all enjoyable and that the workshop went well.

The link that the Gee provided above works just fine. It also explains a lot as to why this blog has been a bit quiet lately– Mike’s been rather busy at the film festival with multiple screenings, teachings and lectures!

Vincent Price was from St. Louis.

I had an earlier comment which did was up there in the Number 4 spot but which vanished after my second one–a follow up– went through. I thought I said congrats in that one. If I didn’t say congrats then: here’s more congratulations to you.
