El Dibujo Artístico de CAU GÓMEZ Por: Francisco Puñal
Con más de 50 premios en diversos festivales y salones del
humor en Brasil y el mundo, entre ellos el PortoCartoon, de Oporto, Portugal;
la Bienal de la Caricatura de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, España; el Concurso del
Museo del Humor de Fene, Galicia; y el Festival de Foz de Iguazú, el dibujante
brasileño Cau Gomez, posee una obra imponente caracterizada por un dominio
técnico, un trazo fuerte y una pincelada de color que trasciende el diseño.
Cau Gómez, junto a otros caricaturistas brasileños como
Ziraldo, Dalcio Machado, Ronaldo, Paulo Caruso, Jal, Elihu, y otros muchos, ha
conquistado un reconocimiento internacional al llevar sus magníficos dibujos a
otras latitudes y mostrar un trabajo osado e irreverente, que se ocupa de los
problemas más actuales.
Cau tiene 42 años y nació en Belo Horizonte. Por más de una
década, trabajó como artista gráfico, caricaturista e ilustrador en los
principales medios de prensa de Brasil: Estado de Sao Paulo, Jornal do Brasil,
Revista Playboy y otros. Actualmente reside en Bahía y publica sus dibujos en
el periódico A Tarde en Salvador, y colabora con la revista Courrier
Internacional, en Francia.
Sus dibujos humorísticos, sin texto, ratifican que el autor está siempre en
sintonía con la cultura de sus lectores, y en permanente experimentación.
Este portentoso dibujante e ilustrador brasileño que
defiende la tesis de que el humor es bueno todos los días.

Editor de BOSTOON
PORTUGAL, uma VERGONHA DE PAÌS
VERGONHA é comparar a Reforma de um Deputado com a de uma Viúva.
VERGONHA é um Cidadão ter que descontar 35 anos para receber Reforma e aos Deputados bastarem somente 3 ou 6 anos conforme o caso e que aos membros do Governo para cobrar a Pensão Máxima só precisam do Juramento de Posse.
VERGONHA é que os Deputados sejam os únicos Trabalhadores (???) deste País que estão Isentos de 1/3 do seu salário em IRS.
VERGONHA é pôr na Administração milhares de Assessores (leia-se Amigalhaços) com Salários que desejariam os Técnicos Mais Qualificados.
VERGONHA é a enorme quantidade de Dinheiro destinado a apoiar os Partidos, aprovados pelos mesmos Políticos que vivem deles.
VERGONHA é que a um Político não se exija a mínima prova de Capacidade para exercer o Cargo (e não falamos em Intelectual ou Cultural).
VERGONHA é o custo que representa para os Contribuintes a sua Comida, Carros Oficiais, Motoristas, Viagens (sempre em 1ª Classe), Cartões de Crédito.
VERGONHA é que s. exas. tenham quase 5 meses de Férias ao Ano (48 dias no Natal, uns 17 na Semana Santa mesmo que muitos se declarem não religiosos, e uns 82 dias no Verão).
VERGONHA é s. exas. quando cessam um Cargo manterem 80% do Salário durante 18 meses.
VERGONHA é que ex-Ministros, ex-Secretários de Estado e Altos Cargos da Política quando cessam são os únicos Cidadãos deste País que podem legalmente acumular 2 Salários do Erário Público.
VERGONHA é que se utilizem os Meios de Comunicação Social para transmitir à Sociedade que os Funcionários só representam encargos para os Bolsos dos Contribuintes.
VERGONHA é ter Residência em Sintra e Cobrar Ajudas de Custo pela deslocação à Capital porque dizem viver em outra Cidade.

2ND “CARTOON AFRICA INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL” (CAIB) FESTIVAL 2014
RELOADED:
International
Press Release; January, 2014:
THE
INITIAL CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR THE 2ND “CARTOON AFRICA INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL”
(CAIB) FESTIVAL 2014
CAIB 2014 THEME/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: While professionally showcasing, promoting and
rewarding excellence in the cartoon and comic Art industry across Africa and
globally, the CAIB collaborative agenda seeks to
explore how Art and multimedia innovations, in synergy with other allied fields
of endeavour, can provide Answer to a wide variety of issues and concerns in favour of Africa’s sustainable development and productivity
within the framework of human dignity,
equality, peace and godliness, in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and the New
Partnership for African Development (NEPAD),and in the context of the UNESCO
Social and Human Sciences Sector’s (SHS) call for innovative ideas in favour of
Africa’s development within the new decade.
RATIONALE: The adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is not
far-fetched: “One
image can communicate more than dozens of pages of text or hours of speeches.
One image can change the course of history. Editorial cartoons draw attention
to important political, economic, and social issues like nothing else. Using
symbols or visual metaphors, their reach transcends country borders and
language barrier”. We are deploying Art and visual journalism in the context of press
cartooning, cartoon animations,
comics/graphic humour, etc, as a creative education, awareness spreading and
public enlightenment strategy to draw attention, promote fiscal development and
human dignity, to celebrate excellence, drive productivity, equity, moral
capital development and innovative cross cultural resources development and
exchanges across Africa in a global context.
The
2014 edition of CARTOON AFRICA
INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL (CAIB) festival will hold in the last quarter of
2014. African illustrators, press cartoonists, cartoon animators, etc, and
their colleagues around the globe will once again gather in Nigeria, in 2014,
through their comedic art, creative education and visual journalism works - Caricatures, editorial
cartoons, comic strips, cartoon animations, photo cartoons, etc - to lend a strong voice to
the theme above, addressing Africa’s development needs and challenges in a
global context.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The festival is open to
all professional artists, amateurs/students and children of all grades and
types of schools regardless of their age from all over the world. Three major
categories of participants are, however, identified for CAIB2014: PROFESSIONAL;
AMATEUR/STUDENT; and CHILDREN. The central theme of the second edition of the CAIB festival is: “AFRICA
OF THE FUTURE”.
The TOPICS being investigated and interpreted
include:
(1) “Stop Violence Against
Women” (Selected entries on this topic will automatically
qualify for inclusion in the CAIB-MEWOR Comic book series plus short animated
videos to be produced and distributed regionally to draw attention and spread
awareness of the “PROTOCOL TO THE
AFRICAN CHARTER ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES’ RIGHTS ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA”.
You may download the document from our website to guide you).
(2) “Our Children, Our Future; Their Safety,
Our Responsibility.”
