Most recently, Doucet has focused primarily on collage, crafting impeccable zines, prints, and other ephemera. In \u003ci\u003eCarpet Sweeper Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, her first new book in almost a decade, we see this multifaceted artist combine her many talents into one genre-defying masterwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough Doucet stopped drawing comics more than ten years ago, here she revisits the art form, pulling images from 1970s Italian \u003ci\u003efumetti\u003c\/i\u003e or photonovels to create her own collage comics. Using vintage women's and home decorating magazines, Doucet collages a unique dialogue of love and travel between characters sitting in classic cars, driving through cities and pristine countryside. This book is the first to combine Doucet's love of collage with her gift at comics storytelling. The result is a collection of lighthearted stories that play upon the disconnects between 1970s imagery and our modern world. Lost in translation, the dialogue is stilted, the characters alien, the mood always playful. \u003ci\u003eCarpet Sweeper Tales\u003c\/i\u003e is a milestone in a career filled with milestone achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulie Doucet\u003c\/b\u003e was born near Montreal in 1965 and is best known for her frank, funny, and sometimes shocking comic book series Dirty Plotte, which changed the landscape of alternative cartooning. In the 1990s, Doucet moved between New York, Seattle, Berlin, and Montreal, publishing the graphic novels \u003ci\u003eMy New York Diary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLift Your Leg, My Fish is Dead!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Most Secret Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Madame Paul Affair\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2000, she quit comics to concentrate on other art forms. From these experiments emerged the collection of engravings and prints \u003ci\u003eLong Time Relationship\u003c\/i\u003e; her one-year visual journal, \u003ci\u003e365 Days\u003c\/i\u003e; and sassy collages from fumetto comics, \u003ci\u003eCarpet Sweeper Tales\u003c\/i\u003e. Her post-comics artwork includes silkscreened artist's books, text-based collages, sculpture, and animation films. She published her most recent book, \u003ci\u003eTime Zone J \u003c\/i\u003ein 2022 and was the first woman cartoonist from Quebec to win the Grand Prix d’Angoulême that same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46959904981153,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781770462397","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781770462397.jpg?v=1788336439","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/carpet-sweeper-tales-paperback-by-julie-doucet","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
