GP S1, E3: "Tim Fielder" (Chambliss, Wigard), Oct. 2020
Description
In this episode, we speak with Tim Fielder, who is an Illustrator, concept designer, cartoonist, and animator born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He has a lifelong love of Visual Afrofuturism, Pulp entertainment, and action films. He holds other Afrofuturists such as Samuel R Delany, Octavia Butler, Pedro Bell, and Overton Lloyd as major influences.
Tim has worked over the years in the storyboarding, film visual development, gaming, comics, and animation industries for clients as varied as Marvel Comics (‘Dr Dre: Man With A Cold Cold Heart’), The Village Voice, Tri-Star Pictures (‘The Mothership Connection’), to Ubisoft Entertainment (‘Batman: Vengeance).
He is known for his graphic novel, Matty's Rocket, while his new graphic novel, Infinitum, will be released in January 2021. Infinitum is an afrofuturist tale that is epic in scope and steeped in Afrodiasporic experience, one which embraces the potentialities of the comic page.
