    LOS ANGELES --

    Live-action director, creative director and editor Eric Anderson has joined MPC Creative, the content production division of MPC, as creative director. Anderson, who joins from LOGAN, is a two-time Emmy Award winner for his opening title sequence work on the series “Dexter” and “Six Feet Under.”

    After earning a BFA in film and interdisciplinary studies from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Anderson quickly found success forming Pachyderm Studio where he handled many iconic ’90s alt-rock albums, notably Nirvana’s “In Utero,” PJ Harvey’s “Rid of Me,” and Soul Asylum’s multi-platinum “Grave Dancers Union.” From music, Anderson transitioned to editing and creative directing at Digital Kitchen where he enjoyed a 12-year tenure. He first worked in that company’s Seattle operation before setting up its Chicago shop.

    Anderson’s interest in the entertainment and advertising industry brought him to Los Angeles. He is currently Governor of the Motion + Title Design peer group for the Primetime Emmy Awards at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Among his credits, Anderson has worked on a number of opening titles for feature films from the “Green Lantern” to HBO’s “Banksy does New York” as well as Ilya Naishuller’s upcoming movie “Hardcore.” His commercial work includes the charming Adobe “Echosign” spot, which was captured entirely in-camera, and campaigns for brands such as Target, Bud Light, KOHLER, Coors, and Nike.

    Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist and Writer, Dies At 95

    Tuesday, January 21, 2025

    Jules Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer whose prolific output ranged from a long-running comic strip to plays, screenplays and children's books, died Friday. He was 95 and, true to his seemingly tireless form, published his last book just four months ago.

    Feiffer's wife, writer JZ Holden, said Tuesday that he died of congestive heart failure at their home in Richfield Springs, New York, and was surrounded by friends, the couple's two cats and his recent artwork.

    Holden said her husband had been ill for a couple of years, "but he was sharp and strong up until the very end. And funny."

    Artistically limber, Feiffer hopscotched among numerous forms of expression, chronicling the curiosity of childhood, urban angst and other societal currents. To each he brought a sharp wit and acute observations of the personal and political relations that defined his readers' lives.

    As Feiffer explained to the Chicago Tribune in 2002, his work dealt with "communication and the breakdown thereof, between men and women, parents and children, a government and its citizens, and the individual not dealing so well with authority."

    Feiffer won the United States' most prominent awards in journalism and filmmaking, taking home a 1986 Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons and "Munro," an animated short film he wrote, won a 1961 Academy Award. The Library of Congress held a retrospective of his work in 1996.

    "My goal is to make people think, to make them feel and, along the way, to make them smile if not laugh," Feiffer told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in 1998. "Humor seems to me one of the best ways of espousing ideas. It gets people to listen with their guard down."

    Feiffer was born on Jan. 26, 1929, in the Bronx. From... Read More
