Slate Allen, a college friend of Vale’s brother, has been visiting his dying uncle at the same hospital. When he and Vale run into each other, she can’t deny the flutter of an illicit attraction.

  • 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.

  • USING GRAPHIC NOVELS with CHILDREN and TEENS a Guide for Teachers and Librarians Using Graphic Novels with Children and Teens a Guide for Teachers and Librarians
    USING GRAPHIC NOVELS WITH CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians USING Graphic NOVELS with CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians Graphic NOVELS ARE hot! No longer an underground movement appealing to a small following of enthusiasts, graphic novels have emerged as a growing segment of book publishing, and have become accepted by librarians and educators as mainstream literature for children and young adults­­ literature that powerfully motivates kids to read. Are graphic novels for you? Should you be taking a more serious look at this format? How might graphic novels fit into your library collection, your curriculum, and your classroom? Want to know more? If so, this guide is for you. Art © 2010 Jeff Smith 2 What are graphic novels? In this context, the word “graphic” does not mean “adult” or “explicit.” Graphic novels are books written and illustrated in the style of a comic book. The term graphic novel was first popularized by Will Eisner to distinguish his book A Contract with God (1978) from collections of newspaper comic strips. He described graphic novels as consisting of “sequential art”—a series of illustrations which, when viewed in order, tell a story. Although today’s graphic novels are a recent phenomenon, this basic way of storytelling has been used in various forms for centuries—early cave drawings, hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries like the famous Bayeux Tapestry can be thought of as stories told in pictures. The term graphic novel is now generally used to describe any book in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and narrative development.

  • The Dam Keeper’ Delivers Oscar Nomination for Studio Alumni
    http://nyti.ms/1vbRp0c AWARDS SEASON Embracing a Fantasy From Their Pixar Past ‘The Dam Keeper’ Delivers Oscar Nomination for Studio Alumni By CHARLES SOLOMON JAN. 29, 2015 This year’s nominees for the Oscar for animated short film cover a variety of subjects and styles. But the film that has generated the most excitement among professional animators is “The Dam Keeper,” a painterly short by Daisuke Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo, former Pixar art directors who have started their own studio. “There is a sameness to much animation, so when a film like ‘Dam Keeper’ comes along, it reminds us that the boundaries of animation have barely been explored,” said Don Hahn, producer of “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Told entirely in mime, “The Dam Keeper” focuses on the withdrawn, dutiful Pig, who maintains a giant windmill that keeps toxic fumes away from his village. Pig is mocked and bullied at school until the impish Fox, who has a gift for caricature, arrives, and the two become fast friends. A misunderstanding leads to a crisis that ultimately reaffirms their friendship and the value of hard work. “The Dam Keeper” has been screened at more than 75 festivals and won numerous honors, including prizes from the New York International Children’s Film Festival, Anima Mundi in Brazil and the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival. The film begins a theatrical run on Jan. 30 as part of a program of Oscar-nominated shorts. Although Mr. Tsutsumi and Mr. Kondo are highly respected for their work as art directors on the hit Pixar features “Toy Story 3” and “Monsters University,” “The Dam Keeper” is their first film as writer-directors.

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. He needs to discover the truth about that time and about himself. As Ari delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, his memory begins to creep up in surreal images … waltzBPressbook-SPCRevise_081108_FNL:Layout 1 8/11/08 2:38 PM Page 4 INTERVIEW WITH ARI FOLMAN Did you start this project as an animated documentary? Yes indeed. WALTZ WITH BASHIR was always meant to be an animated documentary. For a few years, I had the basic idea for the film in my mind but I was not happy at all to do it in real life video. How would that have looked like? A middleaged man being interviewed against a black background, telling stories that happened 25 years ago, without any archival footage to support them. That would have been SO BORING! Then I figured out it could be done only in animation with fantastic drawings.

  • Why Graphic Novels?
    Why Graphic Novels? Graphic novels may be a new format for your store, but they’re still all about telling stories. The way graphic novels tell their stories – with integrated words and pictures – looks different from traditional novels, poetry, plays, and picture books, but the stories they tell have the same hearts. Bone, by Jeff Smith, is a fantastical adventure with a monstrous villain and endearing heroes, like Harry Potter. American Born Chinese, by Gene Luen Yang, is a coming-of-age novel, like Catcher in the Rye. Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel, is a powerful memoir, like Running With Scissors. When people ask, ‘why graphic novels?’ the easiest answer you can give is, graphic novels tell stories that are just as scary and funny and powerful and heartwarming as prose. Here are two more sophisticated answers you can also try out. Education Graphic novels are a great way to go for kids making the transition from image-centric books to more text-based books, and for adults just learning English. Because of the combination of image and text in a graphic novel, readers get visual clues about what’s going on in the story even if their vocabulary isn’t quite up to all the words yet. And because graphic novels are told as a series of panels, reading graphic novels also forces readers to think and become actively involved each time they move between one panel and the next. What’s happening in that space? How do the story and the characters get from panel 1 to panel 2? Both television and the internet play a large part in our culture – images are becoming more and more integrated into everyone’s everyday life.

  • 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.
