A Day in the Life: Director/Comic-Book Artist Diane Obomsawin - Animation Magazine

Quebec-based comic-book artist, illustrator and NFB animation director Diane Obomsawin has been entertaining audiences around the world with her wonderful books and award-winning shorts (Kaspar, On Loving Women, I Like Girls and Here and There). This month, her latest short I Don’t Love You Anymore premieres at the Ottawa Festival. We were super excited when agreed to share a few photos of a typical day in her life with us!

I’m staying at Bolton lake with my friends Judith Gruber-Stitzer and Janet Perlman. Several animators that I really like have worked here as well — Wendy Tilby, Amanda Forbis, Paul Driessen and Caroline Leaf!

Here’s a photo of my
brother’s shed (with
some familiar characters).

A few logs and a front-view shot of Lili Bolduc.

Lili Bolduc is now clean.

The final mix for my new short,
I Don’t Love You Anymore.

Essential naptime with the dogs.
