I wanted to share the lecture today,it talked about “Finding way to lose youself”.I choose Peter Kuper. He is a very admirable illustrator from United States.He was born at New Jersey and moved to New York when he studied in the Pratt Institute.Peter also worked as a assistant of cartoonist.

Peter’s topics included political, comments of society and life stories. Especially an autobiography is one of famous artwork. Kuper used strong colors,simple lines,and clear shapes in his artworks. Particularly roles looked very energetic and theatrical.He founded World war 3 Illustrated in 1979 with his partners. Kuper is currently best known for taking over Spy vs. Spy for Mad magazine.He has produced numerous graphic novels which have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish and Greek.

Kuper's wife,daughter and he resided in the Mexican state of Oaxaca 2006–2008. He documented Mexico in his sketchbook journal. Diario de Oaxaca is an amzing place and a warm sunny with 16th century architecture. It happened a huge teachers' strike, people killed and a military presence during the first six months when his stayed.Kuper aslo left to drew details of life in Mexico.

Walking,day trip and long trip are the best way to lose youself.In the journey I will go to different places ,create new memories and get experience.It make me feel relax and think clearly,also like take risks,leave comfortable zones to discover unknown  self.Don’t be afraid,You will find something value in the journey.
