The artist James Rizzi, who also did lots of drawings and paintings — here's his website — died this week, at the age of 61.
He also did the cover for the first album by the Tom Tom Club...
... and animated 2 of the band's videos. Hard to get a clear copy of the video, and since I found a copy of "Genius of Love" with the audio disabled, I can see why. I guess the Tom Tom Club doesn't want free publicity. Anyway, for now, you can (kind of) see the animation, with the audio, here.
