Artists We Love :: Lizzi Akana

I stumbled upon animator, Lizzi Akana on the Animation Block Party website, and she immediately captured my attention. Her short film, Marvelous, Keen Loony Bin is one of the craziest animated shorts I’ve seen in a while. She directed and animated it as her thesis film while attending RISD. The film is filled with insanely imaginative creatures and objects that epitomize the reason I love animation. Lizzi Akana is an up-and-coming animator, but she’s definitely someone I’d keep my eye on.

Here’s her award-winning short, Marvelous, Keen Loony Bin
