Lwazi Msipha is a young animation artist from Boksburg who can now boast about having his own show on Cartoon Network.It’s a dry and brisk Tuesday in Villa Rosa Boksburg, the grass on the pavements a vivid golden brown and red sand rises off the ground as kids from the neighbourhood walk around, some heading back from school. My Cartoon Friend “I guess many people tell the same story of how they got into animation and just like them, I started with Dragon Ball Z.
“I enjoyed using the corner of my books to do flip book sketches and turning the images to make my doodles move. I always got in trouble with the teachers back then because I was drawing all the time.” Msipha was thinking of doing something in the realm of animation but with a corporate structure attached to it, like graphic design or multimedia. Fortunately, that didn’t pan out and now the young artist who trained specifically to work as a 3D animator, has a two-dimensional show on one of the most prolific platforms there is for cartoons.
He says Gobelins has that kind of power where all you need is to have had some tertiary training and of course a rare talent burning brightly within you. “Pursuing animation to begin with is definitely me, speaking to the inner child like look, all the stuff that you used to see on TV, you're the one that's making it now. I always watched these things [animations] and wondered how they were done. If the seven-year-old version of me could see that I'm actually doing it now, I know for sure he’d be very proud.The show is 13 episodes and season one first aired on July 12. Each episode runs for around two minutes.
