Cartoonists in Italy!


In one of my more unusual media appearances, this past weekend La Repubblica, which is Italy's #1 newspaper, ran an article in its weekend supplement on the hotbed of cartoonists living in Brooklyn. Aside from myself, also featured were studiomates Dean Haspiel, Joe Infurnari, Kat Roberts, Becky Cloonan, Simon Fraser and Laura Lee Gulledge, as well as such living legends as Art Speigelman and Joe Simon, co-creator of Captain America, amongst others. The whole feature was illustrated with panache by the stately photos of Seth Kushner, photographer of cartoonists par excellence. Click over to the Graphic NYC blog to see a posting of the article, or follow this link to see the actual magazine (the article begins on page 64-65),

Great photos. An unusual treatment for graphic artists that to me needs to happen more.
