Ben Katchor

Ben Katchor is an award-winning cartoonist living in New York. His picture stories—including Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer, The Jew of New York, The Cardboard Valise, Hotel & Farm, and Shoehorn Technique—have run in newspapers and magazines since 1986. "Ben Katchor is a recorder of vanished and vanishing places, a poet of the vast metropolis of New York. He notices, crucially, what others walk by, fail to see and generally disregard—a man living in the mosaic while seeing its details." (Alexander Theroux)
Ben Katchor will give a one-week course from 20 to 25 July 2015.
