My Take

Edmond Baudoin earns my quiet admiration. A comics artist, painter, illustrator, and director from Nice, born in 1942 and still drawing into his eighties, he belongs to a French bande dessinee tradition that carries a different gravity than Japanese manga. His brush-and-ink work mines the small tremors of human feeling, and I love the tension of that black ink hitting white paper. There is no commercial calculation in spending a lifetime perfecting a line. For an artist who simply keeps making, decade after decade, I take my hat off.
