1. Let’s talk about Pippin il patgafic<\/em> first. It\u2019s a very unique fairy tale if we can label it as such. What attracted you to this project and how did you decide to turn it into a comic book?<\/h3>\n

Yes, Pipin is clearly a fairy tale, even a very classic one in terms of the storyline.<\/p>\n

Tim Krohn, the author, was commissioned by the Rhaeto-Romanic publisher Chasa editura rumantscha to develop a story in which the four idioms of the Rhaeto-Romanic language appear.<\/p>\n

Rhaeto-Romanic is the fourth national language of Switzerland, along with German, French and Italian. It is spoken in the canton of Graub\u00fcnden, the Grisons.<\/p>\n

Rhaeto-Romanic language is in danger of extinction. It has at least four idioms and there are four valleys where people argue about which is the true Rhaeto-Romanic.<\/p>\n

So, there was a need for a story in which the four idioms appear without competition.<\/p>\n

Tim Krohn chose the fairy tale The Golden Bird by the Brothers Grimm as a framework and rebuilt it into a story in which Pippin travels through different regions and idioms of the Grisons.<\/p>\n

Tim and the publisher asked me if I wanted to illustrate the text. I read the manuscript and had the impression that it could also be made into a comic. The others agreed.<\/p>\n

2. What was the biggest challenge in illustrating Pippin il patgafic?<\/h3>\n

Meeting the deadline of half a year.<\/p>\n

I actually missed it a few times.<\/p>\n
