Karl, The Universe & Everything - Book Preview (55)

Jules Faber, Illustrator and Cartoonist, talks with Dr Karl about the creative process using "Karl, The Universe & Everything" as a case study​​.  They talk the science of illustration - and the illustration of science. Why do some images speak louder ? Do cartoonists talk a primal language ? Jules is president of Australian Cartoonists' Association and Karl will also give you a preview of some of the hot stories in his latest book ""Karl, The Universe & Everything". Shameless self publicity ? You be the judge.    Jules is a prominent Australian book illustrator, but this is his first adventure with Dr. Karl. His passion for science illustration stems from the late 90s when, while studying animation, Jules was leafing through one of Karl's earlier books. Thinking aloud that he could illustrate like the ones inside, and having never considered illustrating books before, this planted a seed. Years later, when asked to illustrate the first of the WeirDo series with Anh Do, Jules recalled that moment. Thus began a bucket-list ambition - to draw for Dr. Karl. The rest, as they say, is scientifically-accurate history.

Karl, The Universe & Everything - Book Preview (55)

Nov 5, 2017

Jules Faber, Illustrator and Cartoonist, talks with Dr
Karl about the creative process using "Karl, The Universe &
Everything" as a case study​​. They talk the science of
illustration - and the illustration of science. Why do some images
speak louder ? Do cartoonists talk a primal language ? Jules is
president of Australian
Cartoonists' Association and Karl will also give you a
preview of some of the hot stories in his latest book ""Karl, The
Universe & Everything". Shameless self publicity ? You be the
judge.

Jules is a prominent Australian book illustrator, but this is
his first adventure with Dr. Karl. His passion for science
illustration stems from the late 90s when, while studying
animation, Jules was leafing through one of Karl's earlier books.
Thinking aloud that he could illustrate like the ones inside, and
having never considered illustrating books before, this planted a
seed. Years later, when asked to illustrate the first of the WeirDo
series with Anh Do, Jules recalled that moment. Thus began a
bucket-list ambition - to draw for Dr. Karl. The rest, as they say,
is scientifically-accurate history.
