Thinking about Jafar Panahi

Thinking about Jafar Panahi

As I heard the news today about one of my idols in Iranian film, Jafar Panahi,  I had to revisit my own drawing / cartoon that  I did about his imprisonment last year.  It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.  I know we are all thinking of him and wish for his safe return.  I never forget his decription of creating films in his head since he was not allowed to have a pencil and paper when he was in jail last year.   That is an imagination worth emulating.That is a human worth emulating.

thank you for the comments.

His worked has touched me immensely and all I can do is to reciprocate in any way I know how.

I know in my heart that he will create many more magnificent films despite all of this.

As a White Balloon, I await and push for his release.

Dear Kaveh:

Your reference to the film ''The White Balloon'' is very clever. And Panahi holding a green balloon in prison, watching his own artisitc legacy outside. That's perfect. Thank you.

We shall overcome!
