Impressions of Rebecca's Class


I had the great pleasure of getting to see Rebecca's class, both in the finishing stages of the comics - inking and colouring - and on the final day. They were a really vibrant group of students who produced some tremendous artwork. The images Rebecca uploaded were my own poor photographs of the art, but by next week we will have high quality digital scans that will really show how fantastic their work is.

Like Rebecca, I am as much struck by the stories behind the work as the comics themselves. All of the comics are deeply personal, and most if not all are touch directly upon the occupation. I had the pleasure of getting to know the stories behind two of the comics, which I will post when in the days to come. For now, I leave you with one of my favorite images from the class. The anthropomorphic expressions are fantastic, and remind me favorably of the wonderful Blacksad. The IDF soldiers in particular are great.
