In \u003ci\u003eSeth's Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e, the National Film Board documentary by filmmaker Luc Chamberland about the acclaimed Canadian cartoonist, Seth has done just that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented here as an innovative double-spined hardcover that opens in two directions, one side opens with a photo essay narrating Seth's life while the other offers a generous sampling of Seth's art: comics and sketchbook pages, but also puppetry and\u003ci\u003e New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e illustrations. Seth also speaks to the experience of making the documentary through a comics diary, constructed from rubber stamp images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween these two halves lies \u003ci\u003eSeth's Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e, a masterly portrait that mixes insightful biography with vivid animation in an artful fusion of filmmaking techniques that perfectly captures Seth's manifold creative universe. From his melancholy reflections on childhood to his descriptions of his creative habits, Seth narrates his own life story enchantingly. With special features including two short animations and a taping of Seth speaking at the Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly bookstore, \u003ci\u003eSeth's Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e is a triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It’s Seth’s world, and we’re just looking at it … [\u003ci\u003eSeth’s Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e] references the artist’s idiosyncratic inner world, as well as a model city he spent a decade constructing.\"— Brad Wheeler, \u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eParticularly striking is the breadth of his creations - as well as the comics, models and puppets there's footage of his wife's barbershop which he designed, and the book has photos of carnival floats with his characters.
