James Gavin, a fine author and close friend, has written an excellent article for The Daily Beast about jazz musician Allen Mezquida, who draws the animated cartoon Smigly.
Smigly is a YouTube series with a topical and highly emotional theme: How does one survive today’s onslaught of rejection while keeping one’s soul intact?
Dumped by corporate America, Smigly sits on the landing of his apartment, blowing his saxophone while a neighbor jeers: “You know the tune, ‘Go Get Lost!’” He chokes on a nut, and his girlfriend won't look up from her laptop. He becomes a ventriloquist, and gets laughs only when the dummy pees on him.
Mezquida draws Smigly to tell his own story. It’s one that weighs heavily on artists these days: the need to reinvent oneself in a digital age, or risk disappearing.
Here’s an episode of Smigly, "I Heart Jazz." Check out others at Smigly.TV.
Although they reposeful credit five fresh shooting days to gain the movie, Angelica spoken that they qualification not resume taping any more to give Direk Laurice again her home enough time to grieve.
