Michael Sporn Animation

Animation Sketchbook is the title of a book edited by Laura Heit. This volume was no doubt prepared for inclusion in the current San Diego Comic-Con. Every several pages offer us a varying group of artists with some serious pieces they’ve created for this Chronicle Books volume. Chronicle books has been consistently fine, to my mind, in displaying artistic work, particularly animation art, that has stepped in from other lively forms.

I could offer slivers of bits, but have decided, instead, to showcase a number of works to cover a lot of this excellent animation art. The book shows off some 51 artists’ works, and I’m showing several for each artist. This does no present the solidly defined work we might have seen through the forties and fifties, but it does offer serious free-form artwork. Radical though some of he art is, I hope it gives you pleasure with its lively free-form work.

Let’s go directly to the designer/book editor, herself, to see what shen ahd showcase: Laura Heit:
