The bulk of your work is illustrations, but have you also made comics No. We researched your career and at the library they said you had made a comic book with Albert Michel No, never. Did you ever consider doing that No, I had other things to do. Nobody ever asked me to do it, and since I was always busy with my illustrations I never had to consider doing other things. Many illustrators also made comic books and it takes a lot of time to make them. In those days, were you familiar with comics at all Yes of course, I like reading them, I always did. But I never made any myself. Your children, did they walk in their fathers footsteps No, no. They do all sorts of things. Louis is an engineer. And my daughter is in Calcutta working with handicapped children. Michel is an architect. He designs boats, catamarans. Doing charter for Americans. My other daughter married a farmer and she does all sorts of things. And yet another daughter, Londine, lives in Provence. My son Bruno used to live in Canada but now hes back in France. He worked as a carpenter, he was a trapper all sorts of things. He met a Canadian woman and now hes a carpenter in France. What do your children think of your work Oh, they like it a lot. But Louis, he makes a lot more money than I ever did. As opposed to my daughter here shes very poor. She does humanitarian work. Do you have the originals for the illustrations that are out of print No, not anymore. There are two that I have kept.

Did you ever have any trouble selling your work I know many illustrators were struggling during the second world war. No, because in those days I was employed by the Scout movement in France. And the Scouts were never banned or persecuted by the Nazi regime No no, that was only in the occupied parts in the north. There was no Scout movement there since the Nazis outlawed them. But in the south of France we were free, so I worked for a Scout magazine in the south then. Do you have any copies of the magazine from that time Yes. These are from the war. They were printed in St Etienne and Lyon. During the war, did you do a lot of book illustrations as well No, I only did this. And before the war, in the 3. I did the series Signe de Piste. When I graduated from school I went to work as an illustrator for a printing house, I didnt go independent at once. I started working on this in 1. How long was this series published for Oh, its still being published to this day. By the same publishing house No no, it has been published by many different companies over the years. A pencil illustration by Pierre Joubert. You have been illustrating youth novels all your life. That always was your passion I take it Thats difficult to say I mean it was more by chance actually. I started working for a printing house where I did a bit of everything. But I felt this urge to be free I didnt want to get up at the same time every morning and go to work at the same place every day. When I was 2. 2 years old I left the printing house and started working for the Boy Scout magazine. I had made some illustrations for them pro bono, but as the French Scout movement grew they could afford to hire an editor and an illustrator, so I was offered to work full time with the Scout magazine. So the reason I started doing drawings for the youth was simply because this opportunity arose. So I worked for the Scout magazine and around this a series of youth novels, Signe de Piste, came out and I was approached to do the illustrations for it. So it was by accident that you came to devote your life to illustrating youth novels Yes, it was simply what my clients wanted me to deliver. Several times I have tried to find other things to do, but I always seem to end up getting the same kind of work. But I have occasionally worked on books for adults through my career. Could you show us some of that work I have something here that I did for the Marine Museum, for example. This is for all ages. Halo 2 Full Version Pc Game. I also wrote the text for this book. Do you have any other interests Im very interested in heraldry. And history. Do you feel like you have the possibility to choose what topics to work with Nowadays I do, but that wasnt always the case. When did that change Well, everyone knows that I am very specialised. I could never illustrate a book about aeroplanes or cars for instance. These days I can choose my work very freely, and people know that I do what I love so they wont even ask me to do anything that doesnt tickle my fancy. So in this case I did have an interest in marine life so I took on the task gladly. From looking at your drawings it is quite clear that you love people, many of your illustrations have young men in them. Destroyer band Wikipedia. Destroyer is a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia fronted by singer songwriter. Dan Bejar3 and formed in 1. Destroyer songs are characterized by abstract, poetic lyrics and idiosyncratic vocals. The bands discography draws on a variety of musical influences, resulting in albums that can sound markedly distinct from one another in Bejars words, Thats kind of my goal to start from scratch every time. Well Build Them a Golden Bridge, Destroyers 1. One reviewer suggested that the album combines Bejars gift for melodies with a concerted effort to make the recording downright inconsumable the guitars are always out of tune, and the vocals of Fisher Price quality. Static means punk tuning is junk, Bejar moans on one track. Ideas for Songs, released on cassette in 1. The cassette stemmed from a request to contribute songs for a compilation album. As Bejar gained popularity in Vancouvers music scene, he was joined by producer John Collins for 1. City of Daughters, which was recorded at a proper studio. Pitchfork noted that the songs still sounded homespun, also noting the wordiness that would become something of a trademark is in full effect, but that unlike much of what came later, not every line is worthy of examination. Thief 2. Bejars first stab at matching his grandiose, idiosyncratic vision to a showier sound it was the first to feature a backing band on every track. The records anthemic yet understated9 piano driven ballads have characteristically enigmatic lyrics, though some reviewers interpreted them as critiques of the music industry. Streethawk A Seduction 2. City of Daughters. Bejar put it this way I dont think it gives credence to any kind of conceptualization of the records, but I hope that City of Daughters, Thief, and Streethawk will pop into some kind of a progression that ends with Streethawk. A critical success, the album retrospectively received a rating of 9. Pitchfork. 72. 00. The 2. 00. 2 rock album This Night was a dramatic change in style. The looser, less rehearsed style was criticized as messy and haphazard without purpose,1. In a 2. 00. 6 interview after the release of Your Blues and Destroyers Rubies, Bejar said the album came together pretty quickly we probably could have used more than four or five days to mix the whole thing, but thats all hindsight. Its still my favorite Destroyer record. Your Blues 2. 00. Destroyer take another unexpected turn, using MIDI instrumentation for almost all the backing music. Bejar coined the term European blues to describe its unique, theatrical sound. One reviewer pointed out that Bejars unusual voice sounds more confident, and higher up in the synth rich arrangements. In yet another twist, the EPNotorious Lightning Other Works reworked six tracks from the record with a live band, the very thing the LP had forsaken the band was Frog Eyes, who toured with Destroyer in support of Your Blues. Bejar returned with a live band for 2. Destroyers Rubies, delivering arguably his most confident record up to that point. The backing band took new found prominence and, according to Bejar, the production seems. NOW Magazine observed, while the sheer density of Bejars writing can be overwhelming, Destroyers Rubies is, on a musical level, the most accessible disc hes released. For Trouble in Dreams 2. Bejar admitted. 1. Destroyers piano player Ted Bois took it upon himself, as an alternative to keyboard and piano accompaniment, to create all string and synth arrangements for the songs. At the time, Bejar said it was the hardest record to make. After the 2. 00. 9 EP Bay of Pigs came 2. Kaputt featuring a slightly modified Bay of Pigs track. Bejar cited influences such as Miles Davis and Roxy Music for his new jazz infused, lounge music inspired, sophisti pop direction. In multiple interviews, Bejar variously stressed that he sang in a completely different manner, almost unconscious of even singing, more like speaking into a vacuum, and was really happy with the results. The record entailed a number of firsts for Destroyer first national television performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon first official music video first female backing vocals and the first time Bejar performed without an instrument on tour his concentration placed solely on his singing. Kaputt was short listed for the 2. Polaris Music Prize2. Pitchforks second best album of 2. Although smaller in scale, Destroyers fourth EP Five Spanish Songs continued to surprise listeners. Sung entirely in Spanish, Bejar covered songs by Sr. Chinarro es. Bejars own tongue in cheek press release announcing the new songs began It was 2. The English language seemed spent, despicable, not easily singable. Bejar released his newest album, Poison Season on August 2. Bejar notes that the albums sound grew from just really getting into what we were sounding like playing live following Kaputt. Bejar added that he would not have been able to make such an ambitious album if Kaputt had not been successful. Recorded with a live band and a pronounced string section, the albums grand cinematic set of songs2. Bejar singing with a broader range than before This is the first record that Ive ever done that comes close to my idea of myself as a singer, Bejar said. Band nameeditIn 2. Bejar said about the band name, I kind of wanted to go for a rock n roll name. In our own special way were tearing shit apart, you just have to listen very carefully. Musically I knew it was never going to be a metal band, but I thought lyrically there were fangs to the music. Bejar added in 2. I was actually so out of it I didnt know that there was a Kiss record called Destroyer because I didnt know anything about Kiss. I still dont know anything about them. I just thought it was a cool rock and roll name, and I was kind of blown away that it hadnt been taken already. I was like, I have to use this because its so weird that no ones used it before. CollaboratorseditThe ever evolving band lineup can give the impression that Destroyer is a solo project. However, Bejar has insisted the music is always collaborative and I think that gets lost in the weird cult of personality shit that seems to get whipped up around me. Although Bejar had claimed that the lineup from certain recording sessions would be permanent, later recording sessions and tours added and dropped musicians. Several band members have the commonality of being from the production team of JCDC John Collins and David Carswell. Some songs recorded for Your Blues originated from Bejars musical contribution to Sheila Hetis play All Our Happy Days Are Stupid. On the EP Archer on the Beach 2. Bejar worked with ambient music composer Tim Hecker for the title track. Bejar wrote in the press release The reason why this has to be seen as a collaboration, rather than strictly a Destroyer release, is that, for the first time, Im not responsible for any of the music. On the B side, the spoken word song Grief Point, Loscil provided the music. Loscil also composed an extra track, Loscils Rubies, on the vinyl version of Destroyers Rubies. American visual artist Kara Walker contributed to the lyrics for Kaputts Suicide Demo For Kara Walker. Organized by Merge, Walker sent cue cards with bits of text to Bejar in 2. Vancouver artist and Hello, Blue Roses partner, Sydney Hermant has provided the cover art for multiple Destroyer albums, including Well Build Them a Golden Bridge, This Night, Your Blues and Trouble in Dreams.
