From Doodles to Dancing Animation:
Inspiration comes to artist Ann Telnaes for her digital animations from news items, audio files, and other research. She is one of the only US editorial cartoonists producing multiple animated cartoons per week. Her work for the website of the Washington Post reflects on current affairs in the form of 15-20 second animations.
She begins with hand-drawn sketches and then produces final inks that are scanned into a computer and digitally colored. She combines those digital files in animation software with an audio track and sound effects to produce the finished product.
Telnaes was the second woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning (2001). Before beginning her career as an editorial cartoonist, Telnaes worked for several years as a designer for Walt Disney Imagineering. |
