New York Times :: Cinema Pergatorio

A thoroughly enjoyable piece done for the cover of the Arts and Leisure section on the American film establishment and how it marginalizes and treats with misapprehension much of world cinema especially when it comes to the Oscars.

NYT. Doesn't get much more prestigious than that! I'm interested in how the idea for this came about. Did you come up with this, cause it's great. But answer through private Flickrmail, that is, if you want to go into such details.

Working on a piece about film must have been satisfying.

BTW, love the way you make 'Carlos'' background soft, even though you had to do it with the tools of illustration.

Jack - thanks for stopping by , yeah if was def a fun piece to do , I had to come up with the rough pretty quickly , and this seemed a good solution to illustrate the low attendance / disinterest a lot american film goers have to foreign cinema.
The film Carlos seemed to fully incapsulate that notion , given that it's been seen by so few , and is on a hand full of screens.
