Jake Fried‘s beautiful hand drawn animation, ‘Sick Leave’, is a wonderful stream of consciousness that’s rendered in simple ink and white – out and oozes with talent. It’s distinctive, full of indigenous tribal imagery juxtaposed with images of contemporary life – very fast, there’s no stopping him, watch it and be amazed.
Jake Fried is primarily known for his paintings and is currently working on a series of short films, or ‘moving paintings’. He has been an Educator and Community Liaison for The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston since 2007.
