Live Tweet Drawing The Golden Globes

Liza loves live drawing events, be they political, frivolous or somewhere in between. Last night, she drew the Golden Globes, and immediately tweeted out the drawings, sharing in the fun with her twitter stream. She does these sketches within a minute and doesn’t prepare ahead of time at all–it’s about the immediate reaction, the impression, the sense of what’s going on. Her “caricatures” are not so much that, but rather they are her visual response to what she is seeing.  Enjoy the slide show below !

 

Liza Writes As Guest Columnist For Washington Post About Festival D’Angouleme And Women

grand-prixLiza is fortunate to frequent many international festivals as either a speaker or a guest, and many of them are French. The French adore and admire cartoons.  One of the largest cartoon festivals in the world is in Angouleme, France, called Festval D’Angouleme, and it has been in operation for 43 years. This year, controversy arose when it became known that among the 30 nominees for their prestigious prize, Grand Prix, there was not a single woman.   And only one woman has won in the history of the event. Liza was invited to write about this snub for the Washington Post. Here is her piece: “France’s greatest comics festival just snubbed women. Here is what the event doesn’t get.”

Cartoon TEE SHIRTS!

WE and ME

 

I drew this cartoon recently, about how we all rely on the support of the group but tend to only think about ourselves.  Or you can interpret it as you wish!   Several people asked if they could have this on a t-shirt, so I am having some printed up. Let me know if you would like to buy one, or two or ten!  Heavy cotton, $20 each. I think I can get them to you before Christmas if you write me asap.  liza@lizadonnelly.com
