Tarot: An artists' vision of the future

What happens when you ask an artist to predict his own future when presented with a Tarot card ? That's the question I've asked to 10 of the most talented comic and illustration artists of these times.

Sam Kieth, David Mack, Ashley Wood, Barron Storey, Jeff Faerber, Tin, Mike Dringenberg, Miran Kim, John Watkiss and Joshua Hagler all participated in this project

The result is a myriad of styles and themes, full with personal associations, interpretations, frustrations, creatuvity... but all generating superb and colorfull art.

Opening on Thursday 27th of May; 18.00 at www.petitspapiers.be

Not for the faint of heart as we will be burning original comic art at the request of one of the artists. We'll also have someone draw Tarot cards in order to predict the future of this exhibition.

Signing session with David Mack, Barron Storey, Mike Dringenberg, Miran Kim, Jeff Faerber & Joshua Hagler at www.brusel.com as of 15.00

“Sequential Art: The Universal Language”

Graphic Novel Art and Illustration House, a gallery in New York City, are pleased to present:

“Sequential Art: The Universal Language”

A special exhibition and sale of Flemish Cartoon and Comic art, which will run from July 16 to August 20, 2008.

The exhibition will present over 100 paintings, illustrations, comic strips and book art by the five selected artists debuting in the United States: Jan Bosschaert, “NIX”, Ilah, Judith Van Istendael, and Olivier Schrauwen.

Belgium is the historic cradle of European comics, and it still generates talented artists. The show provides an introduction to the wide variety of contemporary Flemish illustration and comic culture.

The current selection of artists, who have all been published overseas, range from paintings by Jan Bosschaert to the highly sarcastic comic strips of “NIX”. Ilah's character Cordelia would blend in nicely with the women of “Sex and the City”. Van Istendael's psychological narratives blend the illustration and comic book genres, and Schrauwen's work for “My Boy” shows that Europeans also find inspiration in American classics like Winsor McCay, but with their own peculiar viewpoint.

The opening will be held on Wednesday July 16, 2008 at Illustration House from 4:00 - 8:00 pm, and the artists will be present. Illustration House is located at 110 West 25 Street in the Chelsea district of Manhattan.
