Brooklyn-based artist Dash Shaw explodes the expectations of both comics and animation. His graphic novel, “New School,” was named one of the best books of 2013 by NPR. His animated works include the Sigur Ros video “Seraph”, “Wheel of Fortune”, and the IFC series “The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century AD.” His new comic “Doctors” came out last year from Fantagraphics Books, and the rights were picked up by producer David Goyer for Twentieth Century Fox Films. His other recent books include “BodyWorld” and “Bottomless Belly Button.” He’s been working on an independent animated feature film for several years. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
