JJ Villard is as creative as my cats name, btw my cats
name is "Shit!"

Congrats on the interview with JJ Villard. Some of the best quotes would make great ringtones.

JJ - you sound exactly like my favorite type of artist: brilliant, opinionated, energetic and someone I never, EVER want to be around.

If I see you in real life - I'll come up, say gday and then run.

Keep doing what you're doing.

Somebody has to.

Cheers

i saw jj talk at the egyptian, someone laughed at him during
his talk and he took his thing out right there and pissed
on stage. your sick gaygay i mean jj you have no balls even
if i gave you mine in a paper bag.

where you working now justin?

oh man this is amazing!!!

Being new to LA & the Entertainment field, I first met JJ through some mutual friends. They told me he would be a good guy to know to help get me started in the industry. He was very polite and professional over the phone before we met, and he told me about an industry party that we should go to; he said it would be a great place to make connections and meet people.

We first met up at Boardner's Bar in Hollywood. At first, he was very genteel as he asked me about my past and what I wanted to do in the business.

Then, the whiskey came into play.

By the time we actually got to the party (after being driven there by JJ in the scariest and drunkest car ride ever, racing down Hollywood blvd), JJ could barely talk, let alone mingle. It was like watching a wild dog run into an Arby's watching JJ dive into the food that had been laid out, not to mention all the stares from people. My stomach turned when I barely made out their whispers of "who is THAT guy?" "do you know him?". The night with JJ ended when I turned my neck for a moment and lost track of him.

He was discovered outside passed out in the bushes; belt unbuckled and with puke covering his hands. A small group had gathered, and all I could do was shake my head when someone asked me "do you know this guy?".

But the night was not a total loss; I meant a production guy at the party, and it actually led to my first job at NBC.

So, Thanks JJ!!

this interview was raaaad. being someone who has worked in animation for some time, it is so great to see artwork that breaks the mold of animation norms! finally someone that is pushing our medium in a direction never before seen.

super funny energy that guy has too..

I met JJ once in NY at the MOMA art show he was in. I bought him a drink at the
bar on my tab outta respects. After we drink he went off to bullshit with other people.
Although he was fucked up that asshole remembered my god damn name
and kept putting drinks on my tab with out me knowing!!!! He stacked up
eight 8$ drinks and six 11$ fucking drinks. You ow me 133$ fucking dollars JJ. I heard u left
puking in the back of the bar n got mugged that night and I have to admit i smiled
hearing the news!!! :) :) :) :) :)

JJ is a mad genius. Anyone who has actually worked in this industry with him will assure you that. He's a welcome break from the myopic creative view that smothers most artistic vision in this town.
