Pimpin' animation style

The Animation Pimp
?This is the real thing, a
real book by a real writer.? ?Nick Tosches

?In no
other cartoon-related writing can you find the masterful juxtaposition
of Kant, Bourdieu, Halle Berry, and stiffies...The Pimp has got game
and style.? ?Martin ?Dr.Toon? Goodman

For five
years, Chris Robinson wrote a monthly column for Animation World
Network (AWN) called The Animation Pimp. Although it began as a way for
Robinson to let off steam in his role as director of one of the world?s
largest animation festivals, the column quickly gained a cult following
and just as quickly became a platform for the author?s frank,
provocative and frequently very funny musings on the world of animation
and his own life. The Animation Pimp collects the best of these pieces,
which range from the nuts and bolts of running a festival (How To Avoid
Pissing Me Off or...Ottawa Festival Entry Tips) to sex, death,
superheroes, aesthetics and the living dead (You Don?t Kick a Zombie
When It?s Down, You Shoot It in the Head).

Robinson?s unhinged prose is accompanied by some
seventy drawings by the award-winning German artist and animator
Andreas Hykade. In the spirit of Hunter Thompson, Nick Tosches and
Richard Meltzer, The Animation Pimp is an outrageous, funny, and
ultimately truthful account of the chaos and glimmers of illumination
in an art form and a life.

Chris Robinson was born
in Canada?s capital and will probably die there. His other books
include Unsung Heroes of Animation and Stole This From A Hockey Card.
He?s still not sure if he likes animation.

Andreas
Hykade (www.hykade.de) was born in the Summer of Love in Altotting,
center of the Holy Mary cult. Since he?s been a grownup, he?s created
animated films for grownups. Now that he?s a father, he creates
animated films for children as well.
