Luckily, our home-made caricature controversy seems to have come to a relatively peaceful end. The initial conflict came about when some users complained about the amount of caricatures of toonpool.com members that some members had posted recently. After we had introduced a new category of cartoons that such caricatures would be moved into, Alexandru Ifrim voiced his concerns about that decision (which he shared with a number of other users) in this forum post. This column is not the place for me to take positions, so see for yourself. If I learned something from this, though, it’s that communication in an international and multilingual web community can be a maddening project. And that Google’s translation tool only adds to the confusion.

On a lighter note: fall has come and so has the second wave of deadly Swine Flu. This also means new Swine Flu cartoons, this time mostly about the various vaccination projects. I liked, for example, new member Mert Gurkan’s take on vaccinations in Turkey. While this view seems to be shared by German Kostas Koufogiorgos, syringes seem to be a  much rarer good in the US , a situation countered in Canada by alternative means of protection.

Introducing…

taravatFirst, I would like to introduce new member Taravat Niki from Iran. Apart from making great use of toonpool.com’s mascot, she (she must be female – she’s wearing a ribbon) she draws some nice and funny cartoons. Check out this one on crime in heaven. Her political cartoons about her home country’s Green Movement (not the Müsli kind) are obviously not that funny. Here, she does drawn cartoons as well as collages using famous works of art to portray the brutal politics of Mahmud Ahmadinejad and his supporters.

ZalikoThis week’s second featured new artist is Zaliko from Georgia. Zaliko does classic caricatures in various media. It was this retro-Saddam that got me in the first place, but there are other cool one such as this one of former UN chief secretary Kofi Annan or this one of billionaire George Soros. I admit that I had to look up who Ilham Aliyev was, but I sure like his caricature and the vibrant colors Zaliko used in it.

Cartoons of Interest

My favorite cartoon this week might seem controversial at first. The caption of Til Mette’s cartoon “Mehmet” translates to “Mehmet only just learned to laugh about himself. If he does so, please don’t laugh with him.” Since Til is a German cartoonist, the dominant reading of the cartoon would be that a German couple is visiting a Turkish-German friend.
On one hand the caption refers to the stereotype that Turkish people take themselves too serious at times. So far, so good. What makes the cartoon special is the whole situation it depicts – the ridiculous pre-dinner briefing which I’m sure takes place in all cultures, the ever-so-slight condescension of the wife while at the same time she’s just trying to make the evening nice for everyone. All in all a great piece about the troubles of cultural contact.

Berlin, 11. August 2009 – „Hoşgeldiniz“ („Herzlich willkommen“) heißt es ab sofort bei toonpool.com, dem größten professionellen Cartoon-Portal der Welt. Mit der Bereitstellung des Portals in türkischer Sprache folgt das vor knapp zwei Jahren gegründete Berliner Unternehmen konsequent seiner auf die Erschließung eines weltweit wachsenden Marktes gerichteten Expansions-Strategie.

Das Portal bietet derzeit mehr als  45.000 Bilder von 1.200 Künstlern aus rund 140 Ländern. Rund um die Uhr pflegt das Team um den Berliner Karikaturisten Bernd Pohlenz die täglich bis zu 100 neuen Werke ein, die vorwiegend von professionellen Zeichnern, aber auch Hobbykünstlern aus der ganzen Welt selbst hochgeladen werden.

Mit dem Launch der türkischsprachigen Version ist das Portal jetzt in sechs Sprachen navigierbar: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch, Griechisch und Türkisch. Per Geo-Locating gelangen User in der Türkei automatisch auf die türkische Startseite. Mithilfe des Flaggen-Icons lässt sich überall auf dem Globus jede andere der verfügbaren Sprachen einstellen.

„Die türkische Version war der nächste logische Schritt“, so Pohlenz, „denn aus unserer Moderation der interaktiven Features des Portals wissen wir, dass die türkischen Künstler und User zu den agilsten Teilnehmern weltweit gehören.“ Hinzu kommen viele Zeichner mit türkischem Hintergrund aus Deutschland und anderen Ländern. Bernd Pohlenz: „Künstler im Spannungsfeld zwischen Tradition und Moderne erleben wir als besonders kreativ und experimentierfreudig.“ Darüber hinaus sind kulturelle Verschmelzungen bei türkischstämmigen, in anderen Teilen der Welt arbeitenden Zeichnern bemerkenswert, zum Beispiel bei dem philosophierenden Maler-Cartoonisten Firuz Kutal, der in einer häufig verschneiten Berghütte in Norwegen arbeitet, oder dem jungen Grafik-Designer Sedat Ademci aus Berlin, der seine eigenwillig schrillen Motive auch in Hip-Hop-Magazinen wie „Juice“ veröffentlicht.

Über toonpool.com
Als internationales Cartoon-Portal mit über 1.200 Künstlern aus 140 Ländern sammelt, fokussiert und ordnet toonpool.com rund um die Uhr Cartoons, Karikaturen, Illustrationen und Grafiken aus aller Welt,  die von den Zeichnern eingestellt werden. Besucher können diese Werke auf der Website anschauen und kommentieren. Im kommerziellen Bereich bietet der toonpool.com Shop Print- und Textilerzeugnisse mit Cartoon-Motiven in On-Demand-Herstellung. Der Toon Agent steht professionellen Bildnutzern tagesaktuell als Bildagentur mit Suchmaschine und Schlagwortsuche offen, die hoch aufgelöste Motive zur Nutzung und für den sofortigen Download anbietet.
