Chatted with Karl about comics at the David B. signing. Kark flew up from San Francisco for the signing and David B.’s lecture tomorrow.
David B. self portrait, from Epileptic
French graphic novels
The Alliance Francaise de Seattle is spending a week celebrating French graphic novelists. David B., the author of Epileptic, will be at most of the events. Tonight there was a lecture about the more influential French graphic novels. Kim Thompson, co-owner of Fantagraphic books in Georgetown, presented a slideshow of the 20 French artists who were influential in developing the graphic novel from what was considered a children’s medium into an adult art form. It was absolutely fantastic and engrossing. There was a random drawing for ten or so copies of Epileptic or a limited editon poster by David B. I won a poster! To top it all off, there was a reception with wine and french pastries made by a local french bakery. Oh, and the whole night, as well as most following events, was free. I can’t wait to meet David B. and get my poster signed.
