A fuzzy phone photo of visiting Fulbright Scholar Jan Arabas!
Presenting some books from her USA class to our team in Phnom Penh!
Jan will be conducting an art exchange program with her students in Lowell, Massachusetts and also creators at the Royal University of Fine Art.
She’s also looking forward to taking some of Our Books back for Lowell’s upcoming Water Festival! (More pictures and news to come.)
International Journal of Comic Art Staff Visit Cambodia |
Editors John Lent and Xu Ying recently toured Southeast Asia, and wasted no time in tracking down local comic artists. Their time in Cambodia saw them visit Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
After meeting with creators and academics, it looks like some plans are in motion to develop a ‘symposium’ of Cambodia comics articles in an upcoming issue of the Journal.
(Above, left to right: academic John Lent, artists Moeu ‘Vuth’ Diyadaravuth, Chan Pisey, Nhek Sophaleap, Prom Vorleak, Try Samphos, translator Soeun Klo.)
Journal staff also met classic comics artist Uth Roeun, and comic chronicler John Marston.
We will keep you posted as papers and plans develop!

BarCamp Chiang Mai: DIY Comics Workshop |
One of the many multifarious topics at BarCamp Chiang Mai:
“How To Draw A Comic in 20 Minutes.” by Our Books Managing Editor John Weeks.
(Above: Aimeng Pattanaiem and Hang Dao: ‘Is this guy serious’? Thanks to Minh Ngoc for photo.)
After a quick breakdown of tools, topic and format we jumped in, and shortly after took digital photos of the results. (When would we get another chance?)
