LES ANNEAUX DE MIKE RATERA - Expo

 



              Los 19 y 20 de noviembre próximo voy a tener ésta exposición El Señor de los Anillos en el festival Bédéciné en Illzach. Es la primera vez que se va a exponer todo el material que realicé en 2015 para el proyecto de adaptación de la obra de Tolkien en cómic con la editorial Harper Collins, que es quién ostenta los derechos de la obra de Tolkien a nivel mundial. El proyecto quedó detenido, pero sigo estando muy orgulloso de todo lo que dibujé, acompañado del color de Yuri Shepherd.

         Para más información, aquí tenéis el anuncio oficial de la exposición, en la página del festival:

        Les 19 et 20 novembre, je présenterai cette exposition Le Seigneur des Anneaux au festival Bédéciné d'Illzach. C'est la première fois que sera exposé tout le matériel que j'ai réalisé en 2015 pour le projet d'adaptation de l'œuvre de Tolkien en BD avec l'éditeur Harper Collins, qui détient les droits mondiaux de l'œuvre de Tolkien. Le projet a été arrêté, mais je suis toujours très fier de tout ce que j'ai dessiné, accompagné de la couleur de Yuri Shepherd

It is the first time that all the material I drew in 2015 for the project of adapting Tolkien's universe in comics with the publisher Harper Collins, who holds the rights to Tolkien's work worldwide, will be exhibited for the first time. The project was stopped, but I'm still very proud of everything I drew, with the color by Yuri Shepherd.
