Jüdische Kulturtage: Abschlusskonzert Pianisten Nacht

Jazz has always been my favorite music for sketching. It gets inside me and without noticing, it starts to influence the way I draw. I get looser and tend to improvise. I have to say, that this was a fantastic concert.

Abschlusskonzert
I love the space in the Synagoge Rykerstrasse.

Here you can see a detail of the previous drawing. The Pentel brush pen allows me to do very fine detail.

Double click on the image to make it bigger, it is really a nice double sheet drawing.

Jüdische Kulturtage

Und die Jüdische Kulturtage sind wieder da! Gestern war ich bei einem sehr interessanten Gespräch. Buchautor  Ron Leshem (Israel) unterhält sich mit Graphic-Novel-Autor Hamed Eshrat (Iran) über ihre Generation. Das Gespräch würde moderiert bei Shelly Kupferberg

Ron Leshem letzte Roman hat Iran als Kulisse. Seine Recherchen hat er über Iranische Facebook Freunde gemacht. Hamet Eshrat Graphic Novel erzählt über die Iranische Revolution und seinen Familienschicksal.

Es war ein interessantes Gespräch, wo sehr deutlich war, dass viele positive und negative Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen beide Länder gibt.


Next Generation
Die Leute warten bis es anfängt.

JKT3 JKT2 JKT4b
Ron hört die Ubersetzung zu.
