History:
I am a medical illustrator working for a large university near Cape Town,
the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. I create animated videos,
slides, and graphics for publications, congresses and lectures.
These two files were created for a doctor who had to present a paper on
the research she had on the HIV virus. The whole paper was rather dry and
she wanted a coupleof cartoons to illustrate the two divergent attitudes
of the public towards AIDS, and to bring a lighter note to the congress.
I came up with these two creations which I hope brought home the point.
I love cartooning and these just seemed to draw themselves.
The originals were small pen and ink drawings that I sketched on some scrap
paper. I scanned them using a HP ScanJet II Plus connected to my Amiga
A4000/040.in 2-colour B&W IFF format. (We use the Amigas for doing most
of our work) The colour was added using Deluxe Paint IV AGA. Various fill
types and modes were used to get a bright rounded effect. The finished work
then imported into Art Department Professional 2.3.0 for cropping, scaling
and additional text. The files were then put onto stiffy and taken to a
bureau that has a LFR Plus film recorder for final imaging onto 35mm slides.
About the artist:
Me... Well I'm not going to bore you with a whole load of family history
and stuff like that. My e-mail addresses will be appended onto this file
so if you do want to get to know me contact me that way. I will reply to
ALL mail.
Legal stuff:
These files are not public domain, but freely distibutable. Don't copy
them and add your own name, change them, mutilate them, use them to line
the cat litter box etc, etc. I have the copyright to them, but enjoy them
nevertheless. Legal ramblings off...
