With recent economic and market volatility, plan sponsors are looking for ways to transfer risk, or pass the hot potato, for their pension plans.

EMILIANO PONZI, Arms Control for The Economist
In an era of rampant federal contracting, worries arise that increased privatization will lead to a shadow government and imperil national security.

HENNIE HAWORTH, Power of Design for Perspective

Brecht Evens’ first English graphic novel is now available through Drawn + Quartely. The Wrong Place was originally published in Dutch by Oogachtend last year and has since gone on to be published in French and Spanish. The book has received glowing reviews overseas and the much-anticipated English translation is already being called the graphic novel of the year.

Rendered in vivid watercolor where parquet floors and patterned dresses morph together, Wrong Place revolves around oft-absent Robbie, a charismatic lothario of mysterious celebrity who has the run of a city as chaotic as it is resplendent. Robbie’s sexual energy captivates the attention of men and women alike; his literal and figurative brightness is a startling foil to the dreariness of his childhood friend, Francis. With a hand as sensitive as it is exuberant, Brecht Evens’ first English graphic novel captures the strange chemistry of social interaction as easily as he portrays the fragmented nature of identity. Wrong Place contrasts life as it is, angst-ridden and awkward, with life as it can be: spontaneous, uninhibited, and free.

It is available from Amazon.

Brecht Evens will be exhibiting at Fumetto, an international comic festival in Lucerne, Switzerland. He will be showing twenty original drawings from his book The Wrong Place and unveiling a mural he created especially for the show.

Since it’s inception in 1992 Fumetto has developed into one of the top venues for artistically ambitious comics in Europe, attracting 55 000 visitors each year. Because there is no commercial trade fair attached to the festival, Fumetto is explicitly devoted to the art of comics and sets high standards to the work it presents, showcasing the most influential and innovative graphic artists working today.

The festival runs from May 1st to 9th, 2010.

Brecht Evens, Emiliano Ponzi, Red Nose Studio and Nate Williams each had work chosen to appear in the Communication Arts Illustration Annual 51. The selected pieces will be published in the May/June 2010 issue. Congratulations go out to all!
