Lisa Lugrin and Clement Xavier at Parsons on September 8
A SLIDESHOW LECTURE BY LISA LUGRIN & CLÉMENT XAVIER ON “L’EPISODE”
Time: September 8–7:30pm – 10:00pm
Location: The Bark Room, 2 W. 13th, Lobby, New York, NY
LISA LUGRIN & CLÉMENT XAVIER along with a group of other recent graduates of the l’École européenne supérieure de l’image in Angoulême, France have formed a comic-strip association called “NA.” For the past two years, they have published “L’Episode,” an international comics-review printed on the rotary press of a local newspaper. The review features the work of young authors from around the world and is aimed at readers outside of the comics world. It is distributed in bookshops, cinemas, theaters and other alternative spaces.
The association conducts workshops for children through various social service organizations and published books of their work. Lisa and Clément have also produced a 42-page comic for a local French newspaper, and a screenplay and illustrations for a short cartoon produced by French TV Canal +.

Summer Reading: Invisible Man on display!
Since last year, Parsons faculty member and instructor for Illustration Concepts I, Les Kanturek, has been in charge of helping organization exhibitions in the Illustration lobby display cases. Over the summer, he’s created a rich treasure trove of visuals related to the Illustration summer reading book: Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. Above, you can see a somewhat cryptic detail from the display–you’ll have to make a visit to the 8th floor lobby yourself to see the whole picture. Over at his class blog, Les writes the following:
The Illustration Department’s Summer Reading Project for 2010 is H. G. Wells’ classic “The Invisible Man”. First published in 1897, Wells’ science fiction novel gives us the timeless iconic mad experimenter who suffers from his scientific over-reaching, he plays with forces of nature he cannot control and pays with his life. Griffin’s invisibility can be seen as both a superpower and a curse. He is a victim and the aggressor. Taking place in the small English country town of Iping, location is crucial to the story. The mysterious stranger that appears terrorizes the locals in a very noir-ish fashion. The idea of paranoia contained in a small town is a theme artist and author Jeff Lemire handles brilliantly in “The Nobody”, a graphic novel based on Wells’Invisible Man.
Read the rest of his entry here. And make sure to come peruse Les’s thoughtful and delightful display when you’re in the neighborhood. While you’re at it, take time to look at the other displays as well, which include student work, alumni sketchbooks and drawings, and a whole case devoted to artists’ books in conjunction with Illustration Chair Steven Guarnaccia’s “PictoZine” class. There’s a lot of inspiration on view. Don’t miss it!

Strand Bookstore
Corner of 12th Street and Broadway
For children of all ages and their caregivers…a special reading. Free and open to the public!
Parsons Illustration Chair Steven Guarnaccia will read from his new book, The Three Little Pigs: An Architectural Tale. With subtle nods to such famous architects as Frank Gehry, Phillip Johnson and Frank Lloyd Wright, this clever tale combines the classic story with a sophisticated design sensibility. The book, which combines fun with a lesson about function, is a delight for readers big and small, in a hip, modern and eye-catching way.
