  • Interview Asaf Hanuka – December 2012 Brest En Bulle: Where Does
    Interview Asaf Hanuka – december 2012 Brest en bulle: Where does your passion for drawing come from ? When did you become aware that you wanted to be an illustrator ? Asaf Hanuka: It's a combination of several factors. I always liked drawing and as a kid I fell in love with american comic books. Together with my brother, illustrator Tomer Hanuka, we copied frames from X-men comics and invented imaginary stories (we couldn't read english). When I become older I realized drawing is the perfect excuse to stay home and be alone in a room, which to this date is my favorite activity. So becoming an illustrator and cartoons was the perfect choice for both my natural creative tendency and my social complex. BeB: Who or what has inspired you in graphic arts, illustration and comics ? A.H: Probably wanting to be somewhere else, to get a way from my middle class boring suburb life in Israel in the 80s. Comics were so colorful and dynamic, I just wanted to disappear inside it. And since that wasn't possible, I compromised on creating it. BeB: How did you become a professional illustrator? What was your training in Lyon like ? How would you define the bonds between you and France ? A.H: I went to study commercial art in Lyon because I wanted to have what is referred in the art industry as "the french touch". It means the the drawing is correct, it works. and in Emile Cohl art school in Lyon there was a true science of drawing and painting and I had spent great 3 years over there.

Every night, the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there’s a connection to their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties. Ari is surprised that he can’t remember a thing anymore about that period of his life. Intrigued by this riddle, he decides to meet and interview old friends and comrades around the world.

  • THE MOVEMENT from QAL to Pififiel in HEBREW and THE
    TEACHING THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: RUTU MODAN’S EXIT WOUNDS Naomi Sokoloff University of Washington The graphic novel has come into its own in the academic world. Increas- ingly, it has become the subject of scholarship, and comic books are being taught widely at universities in composition, literature, and culture courses. Just one indication of this phenomenon is the fact that in 2009 the MLA published a collection of essays called Teaching the Graphic Novel.1 C o mi c s have also found recent success in Hebrew, in the work of Rutu Modan, Yirmi Pinkus, Itzik Rennert, Asaf and Tomer Hanuka and others.2 In college level Hebrew courses, such texts present opportunities for strengthening language skills at the third year and beyond, while also presenting substan- tive stories of Israeli life. Furthermore, as a newly emergent genre that com- bines visual and textual elements, graphic novels offer welcome opportunity to introduce students to narrative theory in general, as well as to the distinc- tive narrative possibilities of this artistic medium. My comments here focus on Rutu Modan’s Karov Rahok. This novel provides an instructive example of graphic novel that can be adopted use- fully as a teaching tool. Modan’s work also illustrates how comics are over- coming initial resistance within the world of Hebrew literature and gaining greater acceptance. Although the author composed the dialogue in her native Hebrew, she published this novel first in English (under the title Exit Wounds, in 2007)3 because she anticipated a bigger audience that way. In Israel at the time, graphic novels were not widely accepted as literary art.

  • French Comics Framed Festival
    FRENCH COMICS FRAMED FESTIVAL NEW YORK CITY SEPT. 27 – NOV. 5, 2016 Illustration © Christophe Blain 2016 FRENCH COMICS FRAMED In 1889, Richard Felton Outcault, creator of the legendary Yellow Kid, moved to Paris to study art. He came back to the US with a brand new outfit: a beret and a cape. In Manhattan 1952, Morris met René Goscinny: thus Lucky Luke found his new writer, who would also go on to create Asterix and many more iconic heroes. Comics and bande dessinée have always been entwined, keeping up a constant communication across the ocean. Although comics artists may share their work and keep track of each other’s production, these exchanges might not be quite so accessible to the general public. Well, we’d like to make them available to everyone. After all, stars such as The Smurfs, Tintin, Blacksad and Persepolis were born and raised in Europe before conquering the US. FRENCH COMICS FRAMED festival displays in English the wonderful diversity of the Francophone bande dessinée. From much-loved icons to sophisticated graphic novels; from masters of sci-fi to sociopolitical documentaries. With a stunning exhibition, engaging talks, and encounters with some of the best Francophone artists at the New York Comic Con, get ready for an amazing journey through French creation and discover the art of comics à la Française. Philippe Ostermann President of the French Comics Association FRENCH COMICS FRAMED EXHIBITION SEPT. 27 – NOV. 5, 2016 THE COOPER UNION, FOUNDATION BUILDING 7 EAST 7 TH ST., NY 10003 This exhibit presents a wide selection of Franco-Belgian works.
