CARTOONISTS WITHOUT BORDERS
I really don't like to speak about competition in caricature because all these damn competitors don't really need me to make their promotion...
And there are a lot of them (unfortunately) who are much more talented than me !!!
But, once is not a habit, I will introduce you a friend of mine which is a caricaturist in Brazil and very strongly talented...
We knew each other at the beginnings of the ashamed war in Iraq, on the site DEVIANT ART whose administrators had the misfortune to open a section CURRENT EVENTS on this unfair war in March 2003... This section, during the first months, was very popular and was very frequented : we could see there a lot of things, from several Unitedstater cartoonists and International ones. Most of the artistic works were against the war.
That was at that time that I had first knowledge of the work of CARLOS LATUFF (!) whose last name is already funny by itself, evoking (in the familiar language in Québec) the female pubic fleece !!! This is not a joke !
He was noticed especially by the large number of his cartoons on the topic of war. His style is less aesthetic than mine, more restrained and more effective (probably), in all cases, certainly faster of execution. In these cartoons, there are several of them which I would have liked to have the paternity so much they are right and hilarious ! The kind which one says oneself : "Shit ! I should have thought about it first !" while kicking his head with the inside of the hand.
Here are some cartoons which I am particularly jealous of :
UNEVOLUTION
2000 U.S. CASUALTIES
MOTHERS
DEAD ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
KILLING IN THE RAIN
REST IN PEACE SUCKER
There are also some links on his works in the virtual world wide web :
CARICATURES ON DEVIANT ART No 1
CARICATURES ON DEVIANT ART No 2
CARICATURES ON SINKERS
CARICATURES ON SOCIAL NERVE
MAIL ART
In order to know more on him, you could make a research with his name on GOOGLE.
Here are some extracts of e-mails we had together on the insults that I received from Unitedstaters'patriotic trolls. He congratulated me on my work of art (that is really rare !) and coming from him, I take it as a very great encouragement and an extraordinairy compliment :
« Your art can speak volumes and will hurt them exactly where it hurts more. »
« Your art is effective on making them pissed off,
that's what really counts. And you are Canadian, what adds
an extra reason for them hate you.
Hehehehehehehe !!! »
« You are one of the most talented political artists I know
nowadays. And I know few of them, mon ami. So, keep
publishing your cartoons. »
Thank you very much Carlos !
CARLOS LATUFF now becomes to be very famous in the whole world : he even already had the incredible chance to be made prosecuted for anti-Semitism by a Swiss-based Jewish organization about a the last cartoon of "We are all Palestinians" series, whose subject was depicting oppressed people of the world over history (Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, Blacks in South Africa and so on), and comparing them to Palestinians, prosecution which showed a lamentable failure because not-justified, our Jewish friends having susceptibility really too much sensitive when they are depicted in humour !

Come one, Jewish friends ! It means that, the freedom of speech ! When will you accept that you don't have the monopoly of the suffering in the world and when will you stop playing the offended virgins with a little joke about you ?
We can laugh at the whites, the blacks, the Asian ones, the Moslems, the Christians, the Buddhists, etc..., but not at the Jews ? What is that ? It is ridiculous ! That would seem racism by exclusion ! According to them, if I made a joke on the Jews, I would be automatically a racist. And if I ignored them, all the others would have also the right to describe me as a racist !
Their reasoning seems as simplistic as the one made by some of our Unitedstater's friends who call me anti-American because I caricature their president Bush on the topic of Iraq...
Shit !
In all cases, I would like to have the chance one day, to be sued myself for a caricature !
That would give me the supreme chance to become famous, at last !
I'm waiting for your RIPOSTES IN BURST...

3 Riposte(s) in burst :
Marc, mon ami, thanks for so many kindness towards me and my art. I've been in vacation in South of Brazil, away from political cartooning. My mind was asking for a rest, you know. :)
Wish you a happy 2006, for you, relatives and friends. And waiting for more cartoons from your mighty pen.
Best regards from your Brazilian brother-in-arts,
Latuff
I particularly enjoyed Mothers. You are correct, your Brazilian friend is a wonderful cartoonist.
Thanks for the visit to my blog, and saving me through BlogExplosion.
Carlos, my friend, you see that I bring you at least another fan of your work!
;0)
Mac, thank you for the visit and the comment.
