SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN! By KERRY CALLEN When I worked as an artist at Hallmark, I had several opportunities to create lenticular images for various products. I always enjoyed it. Lenticulars can either be constructed to look 3D, and/or they can show movement. My favorite was creating motion. I always turned my Photoshop files into moving gifs just to see how things worked. The animation had to work in a loop. We didn’t put lenticular on tons of products, so I didn’t get to do them very often. One day in 2011, it occurred to me I could make gifs at home just for fun! It also occurred to me to animate old comics covers! I believe there were a few lenticular images on actual comic covers in the ’90s, but they usually worked with limited success. They didn’t have the clarity of a gif seen on a screen. March 20 was the 40th anniversary of Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, so I thought I’d share one of my earliest gifs: Here, of course, is the actual cover: With AI now available to everyone, I probably won’t make any more cover gifs. It appears so easy to do, they no longer feel special to me. — Want more SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN? Come back in a few weeks! Kerry’s going on a brief hiatus. Want a commission?
