Victor Stabin is a Brooklyn-born artist, "eco-surrealist", author, and animator.
Stabin created illustrations for numerous publications, including Newsweek, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and Rolling Stone, and designed book covers for publishers Penguin Books, Random House, and others. His most noteworthy illustrations include painting nine stamps for the United States Postal Service, the cover for the "KISS Unmasked" album, and a mural for RCA/BMG's headquarters.
Stabin has created a suite of eco-surrealistic paintings and written and illustrated the book "Daedal Doodle: The ABC Book for the Ages." He has developed "Daedal Doodle" into a curriculum and teaching tool used in numerous schools across the northeast, an endeavor sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. His work has been displayed at the National Portrait Gallery. He had a solo exhibition at the Allentown Art Museum and was the featured lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Stabin wrote a series of short stories about some of the unusual characters he developed in "Daedal Doodle," weaving his love of listening to National Public Radio into each tale. The series NPR Unauthorized Cautionary Tales was born, and he has produced several animations based upon the short stories.
In Stabin's award-winning animated short, "The Bonito is Finito," a hybrid creature, a mackerel that's part fish/part plant, discovers he's swimming in a pharmaceutical cocktail of Prozac, Lipitor, Ambien, and Viagra.
His animation "E=MC3" takes the viewer into an alternative universe filled with gorgeously rendered, anthropomorphized characters in out-of-this-world settings. This tale had its genesis in the strange but true story of Einstein's work on a highly efficient refrigerator in Berlin circa 1920s. This remarkable story fused with Stabin's long-running love affair with public radio and incredible imagination to produce a historical fiction that unfolds through an NPR-style radio interview. Fittingly, the story's characters are voiced by well-known public radio announcers Dave Davies, Richard Hake, Andy Lanset, and Jami Floyd.
