Franquin assignment - "The Road"

 

 

 

This week we have work with the art of Franquin in the period from 1956-1958.

The first two day went with research, reading and analyzing the style of his comics. We based this research on the book "Splint &Co." With is a Danish translated collection and analytic elements of his work in exactly this period.

 

Wednesday we had the pleasure of having an introduction and help from Mården Smet - one of the most technical skilled Danish comic artist.

He would be helping us in the following assignment; making a 1-2 page comic based on a passage from "The Road" in the style an universe of Franquin. A real challenge of contradictions.

We had to use characters from Franquins universe from exactly this period. Though we were aloud to change them in the cause of  fitting to the setting of "The Road" and the characters in the text.
