As a one of most creative contemporary animators, he has born in Portland, Oregon, on April 30, 1946, Bill Plympton credits Oregon's rainy climate for nurturing his drawing skills and imagination.
In 1968 he moved to New York to study at the school of Visual Arts. Making the Big Apple his home, Plympton served a long tenure as an illustrator and cartoonist for The New York Times and Vogue. In 1975, in The Soho Weekly News, he began "Plympton", a political cartoon strip. His film, "Your Face" garnered a 1988 Oscar nomination. After a string of highly successful short films (One of those Days, How to kiss, 25 Ways to Quit Smoking and Plymptoons), he began thinking about making a feature film. What came to be called "The Tune", sections of the feature were released as short films to help generate funds for production. These include "The Wiseman" and "Push Comes to Shove", the latter of which won the 1991 Prix du jury at the Cannes Film Festival.
After that Plympton moved to live-action with the features "J. Lyle" and later, "Guns on the Clackamas".
In 1998 Bill completed "I Married a strange person", and three years later "Mutant Aliens", which won the Annecy 2001 Grand prix for best animated feature film. His last feature film, "Hair High" attracts many attentions all over the world. For the first time in animation and internet history, the public will be able to watch the creation of his work through a camera looking over his shoulder.
The brilliant shorts like "Lucas the Ear of Corn" (1977), "Drawing Lesson 2" (1988), "One of Those Days" (1988), "Plymptoons" (1990), "Faded Roads" (1994), and … , along futures such as "Mutant Aliens" are made by him.
