Jules Faber is an author and artist concerned with cartoons. Faber's frame of reference, explores avenues which occur to him. These include a desolate prison in space for the worst of the worst, a fanciful collection of Teddy Bears who fight for the rights of downtrodden bears, an epic space opera, part fiction, part fact and part pure speculation and finally a parody of humankind and human relationships.
He is a cartoonist, caricature artist, illustrator and finished artist. He was a DVD reviewer for the website [1] and ill-fated publication What DVD. In 2004 his first collection of short stories, poetry and autobiographical comics made him a published author. He was the background inker on nine episodes from Season Two of Disney's 'The Proud Family' - a show made for minority groups in the US television industry.
His studio is in Brisbane. His second solo exhibition of works opened at the Verve Cafe in Brisbane's Metro Arts building on February 6th. Entitled 'Ten Years And A Day' it was a collection of over 30 works taken from the years 1997 to 2007. Due to space constraints in the small cafe, many other works could not be shown. Chosen were those which most exemplified his work during the period and created a fun and interesting atmosphere for the exhibit.
The evening included a live-caricaturist, Ben Constantine, also an artist and comic book artist from Brisbane. In addition, a 'caption contest' was run in which guests were invited to caption a cartoon drawn by Faber that related to the Opening Night. The prize was a page of painted artwork from Faber's Space Horror series 'Golgotha' plus one of each of his books.
