Found In Translation with Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky and JB “Harri” Harris

State Library of WA - Theatre (Ground Floor)
12:30 - 1:30pm

Moving to Japan, breaking into the Manga industry, working in animation and making drawing your full-time job. Sounds like a dream, right? Well Loïc made it happen and he's here to tell us about how he did it, how he DIDN'T do it and what the reality of living "the dream" really is. Loïc will be joined by Harri to discuss all this as well as his inspirations, creations and the work ethic that brings them all together.

Featuring: Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky

Loïc Locatelli is an illustrator and comic book author based in Japan, where he has worked as a concept artist for several prestigious animation studios, including Mappa, Bones Studio, and Satelight.
