Three years ago, IDW publishing released my 200 page plus coffee table/art book "Pearl Jam: Art of Do the Evolution". It made the NY Times short list recommending coffee table books for Christmas that year.
The book is a highly detailed and comprehensive memoir of how Kevin Altieri and I and my team at my studio, Epoch Ink, conceptualized, designed, storyboarded and produced this Grammy nominated animated music video in just 12 weeks.
Kudos to the book's designer, Robbie Robins, who went way beyond the call of duty in taking my text and the images from the video's production and turning them into a unique vortex of compelling and edgy graphic design which fully compliments the wild rock and roll energy of the video itself.
I'm proud of this book and believe it is one of the more comprehensive reads on the complexities of the animation process from concept to final screen. And it details a great adventure by the production team at Epoch and the my co-producer, Terry Fitzgerald's, months long tour with the band to keep them updated on our design process and get us timely approvals.
The book is still in print and copies available from IDW and Amazon. I'm also ramping to do another signed edition with original art as a fund raiser for Ukraine. Let me know if you are interested in a copy.
This is a fan-made animated collaboration project paying tribute to the original Pearl Jam animated film clip for Do The Evolution co-directed by Kevin Altieri and Todd McFarlane.
