John Arne Sæterøy (born 16 May 1965), better known by the pen name Jason, is a Norwegian cartoonist, known for his sparse drawing style and silent, anthropomorphic animal characters. He has been nominated for two Ignatz Awards (2000: Outstanding Story and Outstanding Series, 2001: Outstanding Story and Outstanding Series), has received praise in ''Time'', and won the Harvey Award for best new talent in 2002, and several Eisner Awards. ==Biography== Jason was born in Molde, and had his work published for the first time in 1981 in the Norwegian comics magazine ''KonK'', to which he contributed several short stories during its lifespan. In 1989, he was admitted to Norway's ''National Academy of the Arts'', where he studied graphical design and illustration. He won the ''Norwegian Comics Association'' award in 1991 for the short work ''pervo''. In 1995, Jason published his first graphic novel, ''Lomma full av regn'' (''Pocket Full of Rain''), for which he won the Sproing Award. In 1997, he started making ''Mjau Mjau'', a semi-regular comic book featuring nothing but his own works. In 2001, he was once again awarded a Sproing, this time for ''Mjau Mjau 10''. Since 2002, Jason has concentrated on making graphic novels. Jason has lived in Denmark,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jason )〕 Belgium, the U.S., and France. Since 2007, Jason has been living in Montpellier, and his recent graphic novels have been initially published in French. As Jason's exposure has increased, his comics have been published outside of Norway, in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.S. His American publisher is Fantagraphics. 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「Jason (cartoonist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
