I gave them to Jorge, and told him to run with it. I went off and wrote and drew up the ideas I had so far. I told Jorge about these characters I had bouncing around in my head and a story about a giant. We were at John Novak’s house (our colorist and a mutual friend). Rafael: Fast forward years later to Columbus, Ohio circa 2007. We spent a good month or so filming a very bad film together.
I was in a writing class at OSU, and of all the bad scripts in class, mine was one of the least bad scripts, and so it was chosen to be produced with Rafael as the director. Jorge: We’ve known each other since we were both in film school at the Ohio State University in Columbus. Like Rafael, I’m probably most like Gaston. In this book, she aspires to be a princess and other kids make fun of her, but she doesn’t pay them any attention. Marie doesn’t care what other people think of her. Jorge: I wish I could say I was like Marie. Rafael: I’m not impulsive like Claudette. Which character do you identify with and why? I’m also really into French comics and that influenced the look quite bit. I guess I’ve had this character of this girl with a lot of spunk in my subconscious for a while.
I recently went through some old sketchbooks of mine and realized that I’d been drawing a character that looked kind of like our main character, Claudette, years before we even began the book. Claudette and her friends will have you laughing out loud from page one. Giants Beware! offers up a wondrous, self-contained world in the tradition of the very best of Pixar. Can they find and defeat the giant before their parents find them and drag them back home? With her best friend Marie (an aspiring princess), and her brother Gaston (a pastry-chef-to-be), Claudette embarks on a super-secret quest to find a giant-without parental permission. But her village is so safe and quiet! What’s a future giant slayer to do?
Make way for Claudette the giant slayer in this delightful, fantastical adventure!Ĭlaudette’s fondest wish is to slay a giant.
