Video Interviews with Comic Artists

Christopher Gasser (Swiss Author and Professor for Animation in Luzern) interviewed 14 famous Comic Artists about drawing as a language, which was also the title of a Symposion held at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Spring 2016. Some of our students were there to listen live to the lectures, those who missed this great opportunity now get the chance to get some answers in 14 video interviews.
