Bob Gardiner and Will Vinton won their first Oscar for "Closed Mondays" in 1974 and worked on a few more projects before going their separate ways. I found these two rare interviews from an April 1978 issue of American Cinematographer about clay artist and animator Bob Gardiner.
20 Nights in Clay is an article about Gardiner producing a clay animated intro to the 10th anniversary of Rolling Stone Magazine TV special back in 1977.

This second article from the same magazine is more of an interview with Bob Gardiner about his work in plasticine and creative process. Its a pretty interesting look into his process of animating and creating characters in clay.
