Ivan Brunetti (born Mondavio, Italy, October 3, 1967) is an American cartoonist and comics scholar based in Chicago, Illinois. Noted for combining blackly humorous taboo-laden subject matter with simplified and exaggerated cartoon drawing styles, Brunetti was strongly influenced by Charles M. Schulz and ''Peanuts''. His best known comic work is his largely autobiographical series ''Schizo'', of which four issues appeared between 1994 and 2006, the first 3 of which have been collected as ''Misery Loves Comedy''. ''Schizo'' #4 received the 2006 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic of the Year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spxpo.com/2006-ignatz-award-recipients )〕 He has also produced two collections of gag cartoons, ''Haw!'' (2001) and ''Hee!'' (2005). He has worked as an illustrator, including cover designs for ''The New Yorker'' since 2007. His early work includes also the strip ''Misery Loves Comedy'' which he created for the University of Chicago newspaper ''The Maroon'' while a student there. The strip bears no relation to the 2007 Fantagraphics Books collection of the same name, which collects the first three issues of ''Schizo'' in their entirety, along with additional material contributed to various other publications during the same time period. In 2005, Brunetti curated ''The Cartoonist's Eye,'' an exhibit of 75 artists' work, for the A+D Gallery of Columbia College Chicago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.colum.edu/SpecialEvents/cnfw/Creative_Nonfiction_Week_2007.php#brunetti )〕 He then edited ''An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories'' (2006, Yale University Press), which was declared a bestseller by ''Publishers Weekly'' in January 2007.〔"Comics Bestsellers," in Publishers Weekly, January 8, 2007, pg. 18.〕 The second and final volume of the anthology was released in October 2008. Brunetti also illustrated the cover of comedian Patton Oswalt's album, ''My Weakness Is Strong''. Brunetti's nonfiction book ''Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice'' (2011, Yale University Press) won a 2012 Eisner Award. Also in 2012, Brunetti contributed to ''The Guardians "Cartoonists on the world we live in" series. His second nonfiction book, ''Aesthetics: A Memoir'', appeared in 2013 to positive reviews. He is currently on the faculty of Columbia College Chicago, where he teaches classes on comics, drawing and design.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.colum.edu/Academics/Art_and_Design/Faculty_Staff/Full_Time_Faculty_Image/Ivan_Brunetti.php )〕 ==Bibliography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivan Brunetti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
