Joanna Quinn
I adore the work of Joanna Quinn as I love independent English animation. Her impecable drawing skills lend to animation well in order to create beautifully fluid and dynamic sequences. The aim of her company is to lace their animations with humour, and always without failure. They never fail to entertain, especially with the colourful character of Beryl who creates very accessible content for audiences.
Whilst studying in my foundation course I particularly fell in love with the animation 'Body Beautiful' https://vimeo.com/31376892
The wonderful thing about Quinn's female character designs is that it's not the stereotypical size 8 young woman that is featured, but an older, curvier woman who is not as represented in the many forms of media. It shows that there is power and strength in all body shapes.
This was also a source of motivation to see a woman in such a male dominated industry, catering to the wants of women and breaking through stereotypes.
