Hello all,

If you click on the link below you'll be dropped at the beginning of
Scene 6 of Act 1 of 'I Knew Him':

http://www.cardigancomics.com/iknewhim/comic.php?page=24

For new readers (or indeed old readers) the navigation is pretty clear
if you want to go back into the story and get some sense of what has
led up to three people meeting underneath the John Medley building at
Melbourne University late on a Monday night late in May 1996…

If you'd like to be added to the 'I Knew Him' mailing list there's a
place to sign up in the 'index' part of the navigation.

Okay, that's enough – I need to keep inking page 30 so that it's not
another 6 months before I post another instalment.

Yours,

Bernard Caleo

Séra Exhibition begins April 4th at Centre Culturel Français, Phnom Penh.

EXHIBITION / RENDEZVOUS

Centre Culturel Français, Phnom Penh
[translated from March/April Programme]

• Wednesday, April 4: Meeting with the author at 18:00
• Opening of Exhibition at 19:00 and author’s dedication at 19:30
• Duration of Exhibition: From April 5 to May 4, 2007

As a comic artist, aficionado of comics, painter, artist and teacher of comics, and a person who is involved with information technology,

“Séra has long been working in diverse areas. In fact, this combination of these is the true nature of Séra’s work. One of Séra’s comics which is ascribed to the artistic experience of his, turns visual narration into information technology in order to learn about multicultural experience. In a dozen books, he already explored numerous narrative and figurative subjects. There is a feeling there are more surprises to come. It is rare that a strip cartoonist becomes a reference. Such is already the case of Séra.“
– Phillipe Morin PLG

Born in Cambodia in 1960, Séra has never ceased producing art with reference to the history of his country. Two years after the publication of Water and Earth by Editions Delcourt, Séra is working on his third graphic novel relating to the Khmer Rouge regime to presented by the same publisher: Following Days of Ashes dates back to the events in 1979 during which the Vietnamese troops moved in and invaded the country, and the end of the Pol Pot era.

As such, not only this dual-purpose exhibition will provide an opportunity to unveil some aspects addressed in the above work, and also other work of Sera in large format.

To present this new work of his in Cambodia, Séra is preparing for three public events in Phnom Penh. An additional event of interest for those who are amateur graphic artists or amateur comic artists is the premiere of the graphic novel Water and Earth (licensed from Editions Delcourt) published in Khmer language by Editions du Mékong.
