Tom Gauld (born 1976) is a British cartoonist and illustrator. His style reflects his self-professed fondness of "deadpan comedy, flat dialogue, things happening offstage and inexpressive characters".〔http://www.tcj.com/small-human-ordinariness-an-interview-with-tom-gauld/〕 Others note that his work "combines pathos with the farcical"〔http://www.casualoptimist.com/blog/2011/08/23/q-a-with-tom-gauld/〕 and exhibits "a casual reduction of visual keys into a more rudimentary drawing style"〔http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/cr_sunday_interview_tom_gauld/〕 ==Career== Gauld is best known for his three major publications: ''The Gigantic Robot'', '' Goliath'' and ''You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack''. He has also authored a number of smaller-scale books such as ''Guardians of the Kingdom'', ''Robots, Monsters etc.'', ''Hunter and Painter'' and his cartoon ''Move to the City'', which ran weekly in London's ''Time Out'' in 2001-2002. Gauld studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art - where he first started to draw comics "seriously"〔http://www.casualoptimist.com/blog/2011/08/23/q-a-with-tom-gauld/〕 - and the Royal College of Art. At the Royal College of Art, he worked with friend Simone Lia.〔http://www.casualoptimist.com/blog/2011/08/23/q-a-with-tom-gauld/〕 Together they self-published the comics ''First'' and ''Second'' under their (Cabanon Press ), which they started in 2001.〔http://www.tomgauld.com/index.php?/about/〕 (The two volumes were subsequently published together by Bloomsbury Publishing in 2003, as ''Both''.) As part of commercial projects, Gauld has done some animation work; in an interview, he commented that "()omics are a lot of work but animation... was too much.")〔http://www.tcj.com/small-human-ordinariness-an-interview-with-tom-gauld/〕 His books are now published by Drawn and Quarterly and he regularly produces cartoons and illustrations for ''The New Yorker'' (including cover art),〔http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/cover-story-2014-10-20〕〔http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/cover-story-tom-gaulds-turkey-day〕 ''The New York Times'', ''The Guardian'' and ''New Scientist''.〔http://www.casualoptimist.com/blog/2011/08/23/q-a-with-tom-gauld/〕 In a 2012 interview, Gauld revealed that he had started work on a book that was even longer than ''Goliath'' (which was not "''You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack'').〔http://www.tcj.com/small-human-ordinariness-an-interview-with-tom-gauld/〕 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「Tom Gauld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
