Bruce Bickford was born in 1947 in Seattle Washington. He began animating clay in the summer of 1964 at the age of 17. He graduated from high school in 1965; and engaged in military service from 1966 to 1969. Upon his return he resumed animation, and did his first line animation in 1970, then in 1973 he went looking for work in Los Angeles-where he met Frank Zappa. He worked for him from 1974 through 1980. Afterwards, he returned to Seattle and resumed animating mostly his own work.
living in SeaTac down an isolated forest road. His living room is a warehouse of grocery bags stuffed with "voodoo masks" cut from dried leaves. Miniature "disco castles" and Twin Peaks dioramas are shoved into every corner.
