lots of media, not necessarily mixed



I am in a a state of deep pleasure reading Joann Sfar's Rabbi's Cat books in the midst of my days looking for work. Spending a few minutes with his drawings and characters has given me a good frequent dose of inspiration between job searches, cover letters and resume revision.

Sfar is one of those people who seems to go through life in a state of constant inspiration, with multiple projects on the go; in another context this might be discouraging but he has been inspiring me. His characters have a humanity and humor that is very encouraging (and that he puts across in just a few panels).

My French is not so good but I managed to enjoy this video a lot, even though I could not follow a lot of the conversation. He comes across as Marjane Satrapi describes him.

Springboarding of your mention of Marjane Satrapi, and clearly of interest to you, Persepolis 2.0 http://www.spreadpersepolis.com/
