The Sundance Film Festival has announced its 2010 Jury Prizes, and James Blagden’s “Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No” was awarded an Honorable Mention in Short Filmmaking. Blagden created an animated short film that tells a hilarious, meandering story about the former major league pitcher Dock Ellis, which leads him to one of his greatest moments in the sport. It provides a magical narration of his infamous no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the San Diego Padres in 1970 while he was “high as a Georgia pie,” or specifically under the influence of LSD. After retiring, he later worked as a drug counselor before passing away last December.

This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations, a video presenting Dock Ellis's first-person account of his infamous no-hitter and the award-winning animated short film.

Please visit my website to view the high-res. color illustrations, and to watch the two amazing videos:
