"Paris: Day 03 - Interview with Aurore (BlackCat)"

___ Although the interview be published in Infotaku , Fantasymundo and OcioJoven , I decided to post here as well, since in d ichos portals do not know how long the on-line here I can file it with no problems.


___ few years ago, a server found by chance w a French author eb is Aurore called (aka BlackCat ) and although zinesters pro, his drawings were of the very best on the net. Years later, ready for my trip to Paris, I came face to face with the poster Japan Expo 2006 and see you from where ... I had drawn it! Instantly recognize his style, so it takes to write and arrange an interview. While still in full session signatures, Aurore answered our questions very nicely. Here you have the transcript, but I remind you that you can also see video here.



Introduce yourself, please. ___

My name is Aurore , I have 31 years, living in Paris and I am fond of manga for many years. After finishing the race of Applied Biology, worked as a freelance illustrator and animation. Now I do comics for the publisher Delcourt . Tell us


Poster Japan Expo.

___ Poster For Japan Expo was the organization who contacted me because they were looking for someone. I made several sketches and chose the one they liked. I specifically asked a character in kimono and also defined some colors they wanted for the schoolgirl. For background, wanted a Japanese decor, with Mount Fuji and a temple. So the resulting lineup is a mixture of everything proposed. Then I colored it, and ... it was.


What are your influences? And your favorite authors?

___ is a little difficult because the truth is that I like many co sas diff efore, many different environments. In the beginning of the manga published in French, I Gustabo an Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon . I like from combat as shônen Dragon Ball up the tricks of crappy Sailor Moon. I also like European comics. At that time, were Crisse , Hislaire , Loissel ... The truth is that I like a bit of everything. It is a kind of mixture. Graphically, the manga has inspired me and as far as page layout maybe more classic comics. For example, what am I reading now? Full Metal Alchemist , and European comics, love and Blacksad Skydoll . Barbucci , ahhh, Barbucci ... I like many things, of all genres, as shôjo shônen . Manga or European comics. Also all that is film or novel. I am inspired by things like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings .


What are your future projects?


___ I am currently completing Volume 3 of Pixie, and then sec uiré with and l 4. Also I have a proposal from the editorial Soleil to make a unique number for a series called " Bukebura ." A priori it should, if nothing unexpected happens. You never know. Then I have not know, just do not know ... or a personal project, or a script with another writer. But I take care of it next year.


Have you ever been to the Salo del Manga de Barcelona ?

___ No, but I would love to go. If you ever invite me, no problem would more. I love Barcelona , I've been twice, and it really is a super-city. Let's see if I can go back through my sleeves.
