My name is Lucy Jenkins and I’m an artist and animator from Cowbridge currently studying in Aberystwyth University. My favourite type of art to create is realistic pencil portraits but I am also very fond of drawing cartoons of people – especially Welsh language bands. I brought some of my pictures to life through animating the music video for Mei Gwynedd’s song, ‘Tafla’r Dis’, released in 2019. Although I have only just started publishing my animations, I’ve been animating since I was about 8 years old and my passion for animating is still as keen as ever. When I’m animating, I like to take inspiration from the British animators of the 70s like David Sproxton and Peter Lord, Bob Godfrey, and Ivor Wood, as well as more general styles and trends from the cartoons of the 90s and 00s. My main inspiration, however, is people. Everyone has features that make them unique and interesting and art is a good way of showing how much I value them.
