What this all about? A man's beard grows as he sun/ms a city of scuttling skyscrapers and ominous grey clt‘iuds. A boy Wllll hairy arms rides his scooter alongside a girl geing to her grandma's house. Donna Leishman's work is not like most web animation. It ain't created to make someone else's website look pretty. In fact it ain't created to be pretty at all. Unlike the slick cartoon or pop aniiiie work of her (Ionteinporartes. Lershman has created a roughly drawn and frequently frightening fairytale world. It's less an animation. more of a nasty game. provoking goosebumps rather than polite coos.
She admits to a youth ill-spent en fantasy role play games like Dungeons and Dragons. until she went to an school and became sophisticatt-zd'. Dabhling for a time iii fine art. she took on the world of animated computer design in a dual pronged attack through the worlds of academia and commerce. For her work With seminal NY designers bullseyeartcom on the Rosie O'Donnell Show. she has an Emmy nomination. She also has a Phd. a senior teaching position at Duncan Of Jordanstone in Dundee and exhibition credits that include the most prestigious events in internet art. t'And yes. if you want to raise yetir profile in a media that doesn't DhySlCally eXIst. yOu still have to exhibit publicly in places like Boston. Barcelona and Rotterdam.)
Leishman's work. unlike that of most of her contemporaries. aspires to more. Graphically she may be scruffing up the edges of slick cartoon. but deSign animation package Flash also gives her a narrative which she beefs up with help from her hero the post-feminist fabulist Angela Carter.
