James Joyce’s Ulysses in five minutes by Tim Booth.

Rayne Booth writes:

My Dad, Tim Booth, made this short animation based on Ulysses some years ago (maybe 15 years ago). It is completely hand drawn and made just when computers were beginning to take over the animation thing. Isn’t it beautiful?
Today being a double whammy of Bloomsday and Father’s Day, I would really really love it if you could share this.
Tim Booth is a very talented man  (see also the 1970s psychedelic folk stylings of Dr Strangely Strage and his current vocation drawing Dan Dare for a  comic book magazine called ‘Spaceship way’) and has always been a great role model for me as an artist. (Also I forgot to send him a card!).

The march of 1,000 or so people was led by a jazz band called Ain’t Misbehavin’.

Everybody stay cool.

“My bike (a Raleigh Outback 21-gear bike) was stolen yesterday at about 4pm from a bike rack just across the street from Cineworld on Parnell St (Dublin). It means more to me than its value to me, I’ve had it for almost 15 years!”

Anyone?
