Anisa Sherzai: Gulliver’s Travels as Inspiration & Delight

Gulliver’s Travels Concept Art. Anisa Sherzai

Writes Anisa Sherzai (2020):

Animation for my Literary Traditions class with Professor Leon Steinmetz!

The project was to create a portfolio worthy piece of artwork that is related to a text we read during the semester. Being an animation student, I decided to depict the reading Gulliver’s Travels as a modern fantasy cartoon. I felt that the text was very imaginative despite it being a very harsh criticism of the time period it was written in.

I wanted to celebrate the whimsicality and exciting portions of the story using a style that would appeal to children and adults alike. I started with this collection of  Gulliver’s Travels concept art. This project  took me two weeks of drawing and editing nonstop.
