Comics Sketchbooks by Steven Heller

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Ann - society

Wow- to be included with the likes of Steve Brodner, Arnold Roth, and Bill Plympton, to name a very few! I recently received my copy of Comics Sketchbooks and last night finally had a chance to really look through it. A wonderful collection of sketches in a wide variety of styles and techniques; I’m glad I wasn’t aware of the incredible talent represented here when I agreed to send Steven Heller some pages from my sketchbooks.

Steven Heller, former art director of the New York Times, is the co-chair of the MFA Designer as Author program at the School of Visual Arts, New York. He is the author of several books on graphic design, including Graphic: Inside the Sketchbooks of the World’s Great Graphic Designers.

A Mitt Romney line during the debate last night gives me an opportunity to draw Dick Cheney again!

Interesting column by Robert Scheer about R. Glenn Hubbard, “the man who will make your life miserable if Mitt Romney is elected president. Unless, that is, you happen to be one of the swindlers who has profited mightily from the nation’s economic pain”.

Women voters

Lots of talk this morning about women voters and what’s important to them. Here’s a print cartoon on the subject from my archives (2004):

My new look

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Ann - politics

Well, I finally got a makeover. I’ve been meaning to re-design my website for a while now (ok, years) but ever since trading in my print syndication for full-time animated editorial cartoons at the Washington Post, I just couldn’t find the time. My motivation came when Sara Thaves of the Cartoonist Group and I teamed up to create the app, POTUSpick– since there would be a link to my personal website within the app. Many thanks to Ken Smith , who designed and built the new and improved www.anntelnaes.com.
