[another one] http://www.randall.be/randallpress/2008/04/17/prize-another-one/ http://www.randall.be/randallpress/2008/04/17/prize-another-one/#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 22:33:06 +0000 randall.c http://www.randall.be/randallpress/?p=500 “During the press conference of the upcoming Stripdagen Haarlem comix festival today, Thursday April 17, the VPRO Debut Prize 2008 was awarded to Randall.C for his book ‘Slaapkoppen’ [Sleepy heads’]:

Suppose you are dreaming that you are falling asleep. And then you dream. That you are falling asleep and then yet again you are dreaming. This ad infinitum fantasy is the basis of ‘Slaapkoppen’, Randall Casaer’s debut comix, which in the final months of 2007 gripped the hearts of his readers. ‘Slaapkoppen’ [‘Sleepy heads’] is a highly original and funny juggling comix game of clouds and words, dream and reality, poetry and humour, philosophy and absurdity. With the compliments of Carlos Castaneda, Patricia Garfield and Lewis Carroll, Randall C. (from Ghent, Belgium) takes his readers on a dazzling adventure in a dreamed landscape. It’s a trip that can only be completed, grinning, eyebrow raising and laughing out loud.

Randall Casaer’s innovative, idiosyncratic graphics and distinctive use of colour distinguish his work from the torrent of new comix published lately. What fantasy and what raw visual power! A masterly debut and a dream winner of the VPRO Debut Prize 2008.

[According to the latest scoop, a French translation of ‘Slaapkoppen’ is already in the works for the end of this year.]“

my dear friend Yves, the worlds most sexy typography-expert and acclaimed & respected writer on letters and design took the time to pimp the f*** out of me & my work. Dont hesitate to read the rest of his blog, it is always educational, funny and well written. And if you really really want to make the world a better place, drop him a note urging him to start designing a font of his own (right now!), just like so many creative and intelligent and sensitive people, he is on a life long filibuster against what he was born to do. The filibustering having great value on its own we can not hold it against him, but still, he should get his feet wet.
