Meet Elisabetta Ponti

What kind of work have you done in the art world? I am a graphic designer, but I like to draw funny characters and small illustrations in my free time.

Have you won any awards for your artwork? Not yet ... just kidding!

Why the interest in animation and illustration? I spent my childhood reading illustrated books and loving cartoons ...and it seems that I have never grown up!

Was there a particular inspiration behind the frequent character you have in your animations? Yes, my good friend Ela, one of the cutest and sweetest persons I have ever known... I just thought about her and the animations came naturally...

How many years have you been pursuing art? I have always loved to draw, I started with chalks and pastels, I went on with markers and brushes and then I landed in the computer world ...different tools but always the same enthusiasm. By the way, these are my first animations!...not bad, eh?

Has anyone been a particular inspiration to you in pursuing art? My parents convinced me to study languages "that can always be useful in life" but I never gave up on expressing myself and my creativity, and so after studying the languages I became a graphic designer ... but yes, now I have to admit "mamma, papa' yes...languages are useful!"

Do you do this full time, and if not, what else do you do? I am a graphic designer and pretty soon a wife!

What are your goals for your artwork? Most of all, to have fun!

Have you done any formal art training? I attended a graphic design school in Milan, Italy.

What is a compelling reason for someone to visit your website? Well, the only reason I can think of right now is just to see my cool "under construction" sign!
