Dear friends and artists,
I've decided to create a Facebook Professional account to promote your awesome Tributes to Valentina to promote Fantagraphics Crepax collection.
https://www.facebook.com/manuel.faria.754918
Don't judge me wrong, I love you all a lot and I sincerely apreciate all your support with some of my ideas, but I need to split in my mind what's Professional and what's personal in order to gain more focus in the work that I do, be it curating exhibitions, book collections, interviews, presentation videos, prefaces to books or book presentations.
I'll organize the tributes by artist in alphabetical order and put each artist in bold to be easier for you to see your tributes and where they were exhibited along your quotes about the character Valentina and your Biography aswell.
Many thanks to all of you for all your work and hope that you continue to support some of my ideas.
Special thanks to Gary Groth, Caterina Crepax and my muse and source of inspiration, my kitty Ilvie that was stolen from my sight recently.

Johann Sfar -
Biography
Joann Sfar (French pronunciation: [ʒoan sfaʁ]; born 28 August 1971) is a French comics artist, comic book creator, novelist, and film director.
Sfar was born in Nice, the son of Lilou, a pop singer, who died when he was three, and André Sfar, a lawyer well known for prosecuting Neo-Nazis. As a result of his mother's early death, Sfar was raised by his father and maternal grandfather, a military doctor of Ukrainian origin in the Alsace-Lorraine Independent Brigade (France) during World War II. Sfar's grandfather reportedly saved the right hand of the brigade's leader, novelist André Malraux, for which he was awarded French citizenship.
A wildly prolific artist, he is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics, though he has rejected the assertion that he, along with artists like Christophe Blain, Marjane Satrapi, and Lewis Trondheim, sought to create an alternative scene or a new movement in comics.Many of his comics were published by L'Association which was founded in 1990 by Jean-Christophe Menu and six other artists. He also worked together with many of the group's main artists, e.g. David B. and Lewis Trondheim. The Donjon series which he created with Trondheim has a cult following in many countries.
Some of his comics are inspired by his Jewish heritage. Sfar is the son of Jewish parents (an Ashkenazi mother whose family was from the Ukraine and a Sephardic father). He himself says that there is Ashkenazi humor in his Professeur Bell series (loosely based on Joseph Bell), whereas Le chat du rabbin is clearly inspired by his Sephardic side. Les olives noires is a series about a Jewish child in Israel at the time of Jesus. Like Le chat du rabbin, the series contains a lot of historical and theological information.
His main influences are Fred and André Franquin as well as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Will Eisner, Hugo Pratt and John Buscema.
From 2009 to 2010, Sfar wrote and directed Gainsbourg: Vie Héroïque, a biopic of the illustrious French songwriter and singer, of whom Sfar is a self-confessed fanatic. The film, which draws substantially on Sfar's abilities as a comic book artist through its extensive use of fantasy artwork, animation and puppetry, was released in 2010 to general critical acclaim.

Stanislas Barthélémy - "I love Valentina by Guido Crepax as much as Jean claude forest Barbarella. They are ultra feminine, free and really sexy. And of course that they are really well drawn"
Biography
Stanislas Barthélémy est né à Rennes en 1961.
En 1978, il entre à l’École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art.
Il en sort 7 ans plus tard avec un diplôme d’architecture intérieure qu’il abandonne aussitôt pour se consacrer à sa véritable passion, la bande-dessinée.
Il y consacre toute sa vie active depuis 30 ans.
Il réalise une vingtaine d’albums de B.D. (dont LES AVENTURES D’HERGE et LE PERROQUET DES BATIGNOLLES aux éditions Dargaud), des milliers d’illustrations dans la presse jeunesse et générale, dans l’édition jeunesse et scolaire, et dans la communication.
Il co-crée aussi, avec cinq copains, la fameuse maison d’édition de bandes dessinées L’Association.
Son travail est dicté par la volonté d’être le plus efficace possible avec le minimum de moyens. Son dessin est simple, donc, et débarrassé de toute fioriture superflue. Ses influences sont multiples, avec bien sûr Hergé, mais aussi Simenon l’écrivain, ou Le Corbusier l’architecte.
Il est aujourd’hui au milieu de sa carrière et vit à Montreuil avec sa femme et ses deux enfants.
