“Qualit\u00e9 tr\u00e8s m\u00e9diocre,” says the uploader of this 10-minute film<\/a> by Michel Jakar<\/a> about French comic artist Phillipe Druillet but that’s okay with me when we’re given an opportunity to see Druillet at work in 1974. (\u00d4 Sidarta<\/em>, as Druillet-heads will tell you, is the name of Lone Sloane’s spaceship.) Jakar captured the saturnine artist on 35mm (!), accompanied by a buzzing electronic score from Alain Pierre; the drawing we see Druillet creating was later used on a poster when the film was being shown around festivals. Cut into the shots of the artist at work are pages and panels from the Lone Sloane story, D\u00e9lirius<\/em> (1973), and a later album, Yraga\u00ebl<\/em> (1974). Most fascinating for me was seeing Druillet flinging the ink and paint around at speed. This makes sense given the huge volume of pages he was producing in the 1970s, all of them crawling with detail and shading, but it’s still good to have suspicions confirmed.<\/p>\n
