Okay for now - Nicolas Pitz

Teenage pain committed to paper

1968, a small town in upstate New York.  A directionless father, a distraught mother. Two big brothers, one with a big mouth, the other sucked away by the war in Vietnam. Too little money at home, small jobs to keep their heads above water.

Jusqu'ici tout va bien is Brussels-based author Nicolas Pitz's comic book adaptation of Gary Schmidt's novel Okay for now (2011).

In this exhibition, you get a glimpse behind the scenes of an adaptation of a novel into a comic book. One where every narrative and artistic decision was well-considered and excellently executed. It is an ambitious project that has allowed Nicolas Pitz to showcase his talent and artistic sensibility. This comic captures the essence of Gary Schmidt's novel while offering a new visual and narrative experience.
