Wolfwalkers Mebh by Amanda MacFarlane

      I love Tomm Moore’s Wolfwalkers, the third film of his Irish Folklore Trilogy from Cartoon Saloon. I have the BluRay box set, the art book, and the graphic novel adaptation, but no artwork. When Amanda opened a commission opportunity in her TheAnimatedLife Etsy shop, I jumped on the chance. Mebh is a young Irish girl living with her mother in the forest. While sleeping, Mebh and her mother live another life as wolves trying to survive amidst human encroachment in their habitat. Amanda MacFarlane is a self-taught artist who grew up in Africa in a home without electric power. Drawing was a constant in her life. She became a sensation on Instagram as @theanimatedlife by posting her artwork and gathering a following of fans including professional artists. While living where her Army husband is stationed and raising three daughters, she is able to do some professional animation work remotely. I first heard her name on the Bancroft Brothers Animation Podcast: The Amanda MacFarlane interview. I looked over her pieces on Instagram and she nearly always came up with winners. My friend Colin was already a fan and customer.
