Liza Donnelly To Guest On Jason Chatfield’s Draw Me Anything!
Ms. Donnelly wrote about New Yorker cartoonists and cartoons on her recent Substack, including tomorrow’s appearance with her New Yorker cartoonist colleague, Jason Chatfield on his Draw Me Anything! podcast:
“I want to talk about New Yorker cartoonists for a moment. Having been a part of this community for almost 50 years, I can say that it’s a really nice bunch of people (you may not know this, but I married another New Yorker cartoonist, Michael Maslin).
When I first started selling to the magazine, getting to know many of the people who contributed cartoons, I felt embraced and valued. It was a small community back then, maybe a regular group of about 50 people; I personally knew at least half of them. Sadly many of them are gone now and the community is huge, well over 200.
Many of the new cartoonists who have arrived in the last 20 years have become friends. We all share a passion for this unusual art form, the passion that is almost obsessive, slightly crazy.
One of the newer cartoonists, Jason Chatfield, is also on Substack and he invited me to do a live interview tomorrow. He wanted to spend some time talking about the new documentary I directed with Kathleen Hughes called Women Laughing.
We have a screenings with panels coming up in NYC: on March 9th at the Athena Film Festival, tickets here, March 19th at the Society of Illustrators, tickets here. And March 25th at the Brooklyn History Library, tickets here. COME!”
