Joann Sfar: Gainsbourg I recently saw the film “Gainsbourg: Vie Héroïque” by Joann Sfar. I know, I know… it’s been out for a while now, but I really really liked it a lot, so I just had to make a post about it… Joann Sfar is of course a well known French comics author. Then again, Sfar has this extraordinary capability of mixing childlike nonchalance with outrageous intelligence. Take a look at the trailer, but also at the short interview which follows, and you’ll see what I mean… Don’t worry, I found an interview in which he speaks English… Sfar has been very prolific as a comic book artist in the past years. Sfar often uses elements from all kinds of popular genre comics: vampires and monsters, knights and dragons, musketeers, detectives, etc… But in stead of telling straightforward adventure stories, he lets these characters wonder around, fall in love with the first beautiful girl they meet, or get drunk and have lofty philosophical conversations (which more often than not actually make sense!)

chloe emiabata THE BIG TRIP Portugal - Cyril Pedrosa Liam Barrett Illustration 4CP: Color Process Erotica Yes: erotica! And no, I’m not kidding. I think these picture are extremely sensuous. And I think the people behind the 4CP-site have the same idea. Listen to this: Dots emit radiation. So at 4CP you’ll find nothing but single panels or even parts of panels, taken from old comic books. Gone are the page, the frame, the plot, and localized contextual meaning. Take a look at the following examples and when properly aroused, spent some time at 4cp.posterous.com. You can read more about the ideas behind 4CP in the essay "In defense of dots" by John Hilgart.
