Icon! Film Festival in Haifa! and Kabuman~

Thu Oct 8, 2009, 4:05 PM
I did so much shopping in the last few days, I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation XD
and I'm still not done yet! My wardrobe needs new stuff for autumn~ kekeke.

I'm enjoying myself a lot right now. I started reading Kabuman by Takeshi Obata. The artist keeps hooking up with these genius writers and his style is so amazingly alive... Ever since I first read HnG I became a fan of his.
And his new manga Kabuman is so inspiring, it really makes you want to pick up that pencil and pen and start drawing!

But then, there's an urgency in that series that reflects the Japanese culture and feels so inappropriate to the reality here. It's as if the stop-point of the army really gives you time to gain experiences and collect a certain image of yourself and the society you live in. There is something spiritual about this 'national-mission' which is hard to express without over-estimating it's positive sides/downsides.
I think I'd like to try capturing that.

I'd like to cpture so many things in art, or comic, and animation... The dilemas of growing up in Israel - why go to youth organizations? why serve in the army? what is the future I want to see here?
I want to capture the simple and honest truths of life here - The holidays in accordance of the year, the traces of history marked on the land, the everyday struggles.
And most of all I want to capture the mix of cultures.

If I can do that - I'd see my life as full and complete.
I feel as if honest art is a way of reflecting a society it's own face through the eyes of the artist. If the artwork isn't sincere, then it will show in certain stiffness of the work.
I really believe it's the role of the artist to help society understand itself - and even better - understand it's ideals and accept them.


I believe it's a challenge in Israel. What is a hero in the eyes of such a mixed up society? It would be fun discover that together with the readers.
I'll try to trace back to children's books - see what we educate the youths to believe a hero is - and from there go on.

The bible offers many sorts of heroes, and there is some prototype that is a good guideline to stat work with, too.
And many stories from the Tushbah also create an image of a hero who is not only intellectual, but also kind and genrous and usually very creative.
Of all these- how can you illustrate such a hero? What will you take, what will you leave?
It's a challenge I'm really up for the taking~

In a book I am reading about the history of Israeli comics it says how modern culture and art should be a way to preserve old ideals in an aesthetic way suitable to the modern age. I think I agree with this.

I pretty much wrote here a lot of what I'm thinking of lately, and I hope some day it would be more useful rather than completely redundant.

נהה-סאן, גם את אוהבת אסוקונו? =D

אה, ותודה על הצפייה 3>
:iconeinatsu:
בטטטח :)
סתם, דווקא התחלתי לאהוב את "חם לי מוות" ו"מולאן" קצת יותר. אבל אסוקונו זה קלאסיקה!

ובכיף, אני אוהבת לעשות צפייה על אנשים מעניינים ^^
