CUBA: My Revolution exhibition and artist's talk.
Words & Picture: Seth Kushner
Entering the Kentler International Drawing Space in Red Hook, Brooklyn, one finds himself immediately face-to-face with the art of Dean Haspiel. The exhibition is called, CUBA: My Revolution, The Making of the Graphic Novel & Related Drawing by Inverna Lockpez & Dean Haspiel.
Several of Haspiel's original penciled pages from Cuba: My Revolution
are displayed with the finished printed pages, the thumbnails and script pages. The manner in which the various steps of the process are presented together gives a real insight into the way in which the book was constructed and in how comics are made, in general.
