JIMMY THE C (1977) presents a clay-animated Jimmy Carter singing nostalgically of the simpler days prior to his presidency, as the voice of Ray Charles is heard in the classic rendition of "Georgia On My Mind." In SUNDAE IN NEW YORK (1983), a character closely resembling then-mayor Ed Koch sings a variation on the "Theme from New York, New York" in an entirely clay-animated film depicting a variety of locations and celebrities associated with New York City.

Picker worked as an animator on Savage Steve Holland's BETTER OFF DEAD... (1985). His latest directing credit is THE AGE OF IGNORANCE (2003), an animated short in which Man discovers sex in the Stone Age.
