A simple question by a young boy moves the author to travel with him down the River of Ink, which flows from the present day back to the very first illustration drawn by a human. Along the way, they visit legendary artists of the past and encounter personal tales that explore the philosophy of communication through drawing. Why do we draw? It's a simple question with a spellbinding and complex answer with an entirely new and entertaining look at the history of art. <p/> Also featured is an illustrated interview between Appert and comics master Scott McCloud (<i>Understanding Comics</i>, <i>The Sculptor</i>) that no reader should miss!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>"</b>Appert's themes will resonate with both artists and their appreciators."-- "PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>In a previous life, Etienne Appert remembers he had a traditional job, trying to avoid his passion for drawing, but in 2009, he surrendered to the call of art. Since then, he spends all his time reveling in the joy of creating illustrations, inventing new ways of mixing texts and pictures in graphic novels (as in the best-seller Reinventing Organizations with Frederic Laloux). His graphic novels are the most personal part of his work.
