It seems you are new to The Jewish Culture Log of Arts, so we would like to recommend that you subscribe to our RSS feed to keep yourself up-to-date of the best art from the Jewish Community. Thank you for your visit!
Next weekend, the annual MOCCA (Museum of Comic & Cartoon Art) Festival will take place at the Puck Building in Lower Manhattan (in New York).
The most well-known of the Jewish guests at this year’s MOCCA Festival is, without a doubt, Art Spiegelman, author-illustrator of the Pulitzer-prize-winning Holocaust memoir Maus (although he had done plenty of work prior to that and has been busy since then creating new works & giving lectures).
Other guests of interest to readers of this blog, in no particular order (well, alphabetical order, actually), include :
* Willow Dawson, a talented Canadian artist, who has illustrated the upcoming anthology No Girls Allowed : Tales of Daring Women Dressed as Men for Love, Freedom and Adventure, written by Susan Hughes & to be published by Kids Can Press. The anthology includes the story of Esther Brandeau, the first Jewish person to immigrate to Canada.
* Evan Dorkin & his wife Sarah Dyer, the couple responsible for the story “One-Punch Goldberg” in Biff Bam Pow! #1, as well as the one-page comic “How to Cook a Gentile” (Heeb #15)
* Arie Kaplan, author of the forthcoming book From Krakow to Krypton: Jews and Comic Books, who was interviewed by Wizard Magazine last month
* Neil Kleid, author of the graphic novel Brownsville, as well as the forthcoming Migdal David and The Big Khan
* Miriam Libicki, author of the jobnik! series, the first volume of which has been collected in trade paperback
* Chari Pere, author-illustrator of the Jewish humor calendar “A Yearly Shpritz of Jewish Bits: The Ultimate Illustrated Calendar of Jewish Jokes (Old and New)”
