Google Celebrates Cartoonist Jackie Ormes

🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #BlackHistoryMonth #Artist: Tracy Murrell @tracymurrellart #Artwork: Torchy IV I love this piece, which was inspired by the trailblazing Black woman cartoonist/ activist #JackieOrmes, creator of "Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem" comic series about a Mississippi teen who becomes a famous singer at #TheCottonClub. • Reposted from @tracymurrellart Torchy IV high gloss enamel, resin 60 x 30 in Available for purchase at tracymurrell.com (link in BIO). By discovering the amazing life and stunning images of pioneering artist Jackie Ormes, the first Black woman cartoonist, I found my voice and identity as an artist. She is the inspiration for my Torchy series. Her graceful and elegant images told the stories of Black Americans in the thirties, forties and fifties with humor and panache. I take the vintage images, creating streamlined contemporary versions painted on large panels with high gloss enamel and finished with resin. . . . #art #Blackartist #TracyMurrell #TracyMurrellArt #CollectBlackArt #TorchyBrown #BlackWomenArtists #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CpB-qrxM3iD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally, a cartoonist! Jackie Ormes made waves when black cartoonists were rare and female black cartoonists were unheard of. Ormes found a creative outlet in writing and drawing from an early age and contributed caricatures to her high school yearbook. Early in her career she worked as a journalist for the Pittsburgh Courier. While there, Jackie Ormes created Torchy Brown, a Mississippi-born woman’s adventures at The Cotton Club. Her next strip, Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger, had a precocious little sister/racy big sister premise. The strip was popular enough that Patty-Jo dolls were briefly in production. Subsequent Torchy revivals confronted heavy subjects like racism, war and environmental issues. #JackieOrmes #torchybrown #thecottonclub #pattyjonginger #pattyjoandginger #comicstrip #newspapercomic #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvA4VGDBkD/?igshid=ulyjemxo5ejx

Google honors Black cartoonist and activist #JackieOrmes with new #GoogleDoodle. Jackie Ormes (August 1, 1911 – December 26, 1985) was born #ZeldaJackson in a small town outside #Pittsburgh. She was a self-taught artist who had several successful #comicstrips and #cartooncharacters, and they were precedent-setting. The characters were fashionable and professional. Often the focus of a strip was on humor, but Ormes was happy to use her comics as a platform for commentary on society’s ills as well. Her targets were frequently #racialissues, but in 1953-54, her comic strip character, #Torchy, took on environmental pollution, particularly as it was occurring in black neighborhoods. This was long before strips like Pogo had become the “issue” strip we think of today. Google chose Tuesday to honor Ormes because on Sept. 1, 1945, her single-panel cartoon "Patty-Jo 'n' Ginger" debuted in the #PittsburghCourier. The drawings introduced "the world to the smart and fashionable #Ginger and her precocious 6-year-old sister #PattyJo," #Google said in a blog post. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmPMs3FEjG/?igshid=1qbh3bk8tobim
