My name Geradus Mayela Sudarta, commonly abbreviated as GM Sudarta. I was born on Wednesday at Kauman POND, Klaten, Central Java, exactly on 20 February 1948. I am the youngest son of the couple Hardjowidjoyo and Sumirah.My large family, half Catholic and half-Muslim. My father Kejawen or mystical Islam, while my mother Muslim. Since childhood I've actually bersyahadat, but in the Java language. Although his was a teenager when I was baptized (christened). This may be due to the influence of the brothers of the father (uncle) who was Catholic.I often go to church with them. Because
of the frequency to the Church, I once said, "Listen to the equally
beautiful Gregorian chant are like to hear the Adhan."Although
I had been baptized and was often invited to the church, but I do not
like the Catholic Christian, I also felt it was so familiar with the
religion of Islam. Mother and mother's brothers, also came from Muslim family, so I can say I've been so familiar with Islam.When I was in secondary school, I even became chairman Rating PII (Indonesian Islamic Student) at school. When high school, I terlbat the establishment Deddy Grand Theater with Atopic Dermatitis. Incidentally, most members of the PII. I founded the theater that often sweep HSBI Festival (Islamic Cultural Arts Association).Our theater texts often bring work Arifin C. Noer, one of which is a text entitled Amniah. This text often we pentaskan. Even in Congress PII, won the Grand Theater at the art festival.As a result of this victory, a newspaper published by Semarang writing, not all members of the Muslim Grand Theater. My position in this theater awry. Though I am only stage manager and occasional extras. This paper statement must be addressed to me.For me, this is not a problem, in this case I was fortunate to be defended by writers O'Galelano. He said the important thing is its aesthetics. Muslim or not, the important good.Besides being active in the theater, I also hang out with Muslim friends. From there I started to read books about religion. In addition, I also read books Tan Malaka and the like, as well as books that are more existentialist. I always ask, so I increasingly think to look for cause and effect of life.I live for what? especially
members of the People's Painter lot mempengarushi me, so I am
sympathetic to their cause, because there are some members who
participated answered my question. But, it was not so long. Finally I just started thinking to find out. I never thought, God exists or does not exist, it does not matter.Often PilgrimageTo answer that, I often go to several eating Sunan (Wali). I often sleep in the tomb of Sheikh Maulana Yusuf in Banten, the tomb of Sunan Kudus, even to Gresik. However, the question was more vigorous in my heart, although I realize not to be missed. I am looking for a lot of things, especially improbable.The pilgrimage is not to find anything. Even I do not know for what. That question led me to visit or a religious visit to the tomb of Sunan, even to sleep there. I am looking for the obvious question never got answered about God.From a trip to visit the graves of the wali, I never mengalaim strange events. At
the time I visited the Sheikh Maulana Yusuf eat in Banten, I attended
an Arab dressed in white and turban, with a rigid accent he spoke about
the prophet Isa AS. Smart guy once.The next guy was shaking my hand, strangely smell the fragrance for a week does not go away, despite my frequent washing. From there I look for people that get to the Holy and elsewhere. I'm looking for the man but did not find it.Although I am not a Muslim, but visiting the graves of the wali is very meaningful to me. In
addition to seeking answers to the essence of life, as well as efforts
to seek inspiration in my work as a cartoonist (Active in Kompas
http://www.kompas.co.id, Red).Of this pilgrimage journey, I find peace and tranquility. Many things that I have found. Obviously I now get peace. Although I am still in the learning stages of Islam, but I've got the gift. By God I entrusted a pair of twins.Of all the more aware I am, that grip is simple but has tremendous strength is religion. and our prayer is certainly accepted and granted Lord.Religion, this is the answer I received from my trip to visit the tomb of the trustees to seek the essence of life. I was really aware of the importance of a handle on life; Religion - which hold true across the sea of life.Converted to IslamOf what God has entrusted to me - a pair of twins - I re-awakened by my religious sense. Aryo
Damar, my son is a man, since the age of three months until now, when
there Maghrib azan on television, he did not want to break away from the
glass front of the television. If it was crying, he stopped to listen before prayer. I recorded this incident and I just caught on videotape. My child's behavior is getting warned and made me sure that the handle is simple and has the power of religion.Finally, I decided to accept what was happening to me. I pledge myself to be a Muslim, in other words, accept Islam. I
became a Muslim movement was welcomed by my friends and they gave some
religious books, commentaries of the Quran and Sunnah Fiqh books Saayid
work Sabiq lengka 12 vols. Even the strange my friend who gave AL-Quran long before I say two sentences creed. Maybe he had a premonition.In addition, many of my friends who expressed regret over my decision. They regret the changes that happened to me. But it does not make me recoil. I still believe to be a Muslim.Islam to me is a religion that has the highest tolerance. With Islam I became more steady grip ensures life. Now I learned a lot from studying religion, especially the wife to learn the Quran. In addition to my friends also frequently discussed with religious leaders. This I intend to strengthen my faith.

caricaturist Sudarta (left, seated) conduct a question and answer event
about his latest book titled: Reform: Since the fall of the New Order
until the birth of the Reformation in Cartoons, published by Publisher
Kompas, Tuesday (29/8), the Scholastic Book Festival event heralds
Culture in Jakarta, Central Jakarta. In
addition to drawing demo, various questions posed by visitors to the
exhibition, ranging from the technical to the experience of joy and
sorrow as caricature drawings contained in the paper. Some visitors also seen soliciting signatures for GM Sudarta affixed to the books he bought.Almost Fired because Criticize by CartoonSRAGEN-Maestro GM Sudarta cartoonist Indonesia has its own standards in weighing the weight of criticism through cartoons. If it turns out that was criticized by his angry, it means that his mission was not successful. Therefore, the cartoons to be funny, not sarcastic (rough), and has a specific message for repairs."If
that was criticized angry, that I felt did not work," said GM Sudarta,
when presenting "How Java Life" in Pendapi Sukowati Jl Dr Wahidin No. 9
Sragen, Saturday (24/12) evening.While
appearing in Sragen, GM Sudarta born in Klaten 55 years ago that
brought the barrel Klenengan Associate at the invitation of Community
elders Pendapi Sukowati Fatchur Agus Rahman SH.GM
Sudarta admit, every time you create a cartoon contains criticism, he
always never overt, but it should be coiled and can only be understood. "Cartoonists
western admits, when cartoonists in Indonesia never frank in expressing
criticism through cartoons," said the Kompas daily cartoonist.In an indirect way it was, still many people who are angry because they feel criticized.In
fact, he hopes the receiver criticism (policy makers) who saw the
cartoon in a leading national daily was able to smile, then do a repair
or alteration.In order FiredBut not all who criticized smiling, some are even angry. One
cartoon that makes a scene, when he chalked cartoon doctor black
glasses like Zorro, said to his patient, select the property or lives by
showing the needle equipment.At that time, all kinds of drugs rose sharply, so the cost of seeing a doctor is quite high. But the impact of the work that was incredible cartoons. Therefore, the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) Center sent a letter to the office to ask him fired.Then, GM Sudarta elaborate story through cartoons for his criticism of the officials. He said the former president BJ Habibie was not angry with his criticism, but it also does not matter. Former President Megawati was often cornered by the press criticism. Never
did because it was a cartoon, he approached someone with short hair who
met in his office patting something at the waist to intimidate. "That being patted it might kind of weapon," he said with a smile.Experience of others, when criticizing and Buffer Management Agency Cloves (BPPC) Tommy managed. In
the cartoon, the GM describes people after smoking a cigarette and then
throw up almost to death, but still called if the cloves still
delicious and fragrant. After criticism that appears, then no change BPPC.There
is also an official request for a cartoon coffee used to make souvenirs
from ceramic plates that are distributed to the official colleagues. No
doubt, the work of GM Sudarta cartoon can make people angry, resentful,
furrowed forehead wrinkles, smile and even laugh. (Nin-36s)TAWA BETWEEN AND DANGERS:WORLD cartoonistsIn 2006 this took place at least two times "cartoon events" that cause noise. First,
a cartoon in a Danish tabloid deemed insulting religion, and has
resulted in a wave of protests in various parts of the world, secondly,
cartoon President in a tabloid in Australia, which also caused outrage
some in Indonesia.Author: Seno Gumira AjidarmaIt is noteworthy, that the debate is so hot and dangerous, never continue with adequate debate about the cartoons themselves. Argue without understanding of course very dangerous, especially if the danger is loss of life.So far, the awareness of the role and services of the cartoon rather than not exist in Indonesia. On
March 13, 2000, for example, has issued a series of stamps includes
five newspaper cartoon characters from various places in Indonesia. That
works Dwi Panji Koming Koendoro in Kompas in Jakarta; Pak Basuki
Tuntung work or Wie Hu Tian in Analysis in Medan; Mang Ohle works Didier
D. Mind
Basoeni in Bandung; Pak Bei Soenardi Masdi work in Suara Merdeka in
Semarang, and I Brewok work I Wayan Gunasta alias Gungun in Bali Post,
Denpasar, Bali. Existence
stamps cartoon characters is definitely a significant recognition of
the existence of the cartoonist and his work, as the illustration
"occupational hazard" that has been mentioned, the cartoonist proved the
world was not only associated with laughter-but also with danger, which
inevitably must be faced, no more and no less for the creation of a better world.Danger,
of course, is not the desired state of the cartoonist, but it is
undeniable that the job "jokes once quipped" This however is a job that
is always faced with the possibility of the presence of danger. An "error" can be fatal. Like a clown, buffoon above their rope, and it is not a job for just any man.Well,
what can still be denied that the cartoonist profession is unique and
interesting - especially when taking into account the risk that can not
always be expected when it came? Cartoonists
in the World series, the Essence is not only to meet the "cartoonist
stamps" that have been mentioned, but also a number of other
cartoonists, so there is a better introduction to the discourse are
familiar, but enough is rarely studied.Flood Caricature scratches Non-O Buahkan AwardByRomauliJAKARTA - Sudi Purnomo (Non-O), caricature Daily Afternoon Sinar Harapan, for the fourth time to bring back the media fragrant. Men

09 2007 COMICS, caricature and cartoon (hereinafter referred to as K-3)
is a form of imagination which were carried out in the framework of the
image. The
process of making a simple three: a good form of delusion that the man
himself, animals, plants, nature or things that are not covered by such
resourceful aliens or supernatural though mediated through hand, pen /
patlot, paper, paints the picture- although now everything can be done directly through the media that computerization in order to form a graffiti picture.With
all its attributes, the three forms of order that makes the K-3 as a
literary art the most 'unique' and similar compared with other literary
arts such as painting, sculpture, drama and various types of writing:
novels, short stories, poetry and so on.Why
does the author include three categories of art in the form of
literature, because literature criteria borrowed Goldman (1981:55-74) in
one of his essays, is one form of expression worldview (whatever that
shape the medium) and the imaginary world in an attempt to express the
view that , the author can create a universe of characters, objects and relations freely. With
so may be mentioned that the K-3 is one of the genre of literary art
termodifikasikan through images, through non-verbal language. And they are the creators of the animator. He
pours fresh ideas freely, interesting, about something that does not
exist (ideals), contradictory, mysterious, sometimes serious and tickled
about things that are outside the human allegations that moment.Therefore
sometimes (especially in the cartoon) various discovery can be realized
- just an example, it is now successfully established liquid glue such
plasma can be used in the Spiderman cartoons, as well as a variety of
technological tools such as the cartoons that futuristic shades, where
it now being realized.Not
only that, the values of tradition and culture that has not been
deemed suitable and entrenched in a society (as depicted in the comic or
the majority of Japanese cartoons), can be mentioned as an icon of the
caunter in the form of the picture, the cultural life undertaken. As
well as the images (graffiti hand) newspapers or magazines are often
seen in the form of caricatures funny and critical (usually at the top
halalam opinion-newspapers), indicating the necessity of the existence
of a still image of the moral or political realities of life so weak and
unfit we imitate. Overall,
the values that are presumably will continue to be interpreted when
attached to any comics, caricatures and cartoons in Indonesia today.But apart from that, great question arises whether all three should have a message? of course not. Sometimes
K-3 do not need anything interpreted: as a form of creativity, skill,
excitement and overflowing hearts, and without the 'engineering' the
animator. K-3
is also present just the animators minds to be disclosed; without
problems associated with technological, social, political or
cultural-though certainly the story behind using earlier aspects.Because K-3 only limited first identified as an entertainment for the Upik. Or
just a manifestation of one's creativity to show the motion of human
lives, animals, plants belonging to the natural universe and God on
earth is a form of image: the image.Although in its development, it seems the direction of change in the purpose of manufacture, namely consumerism. How
to stream media developments now provide three forms of the images
published to compete-not merely the result of a form of entertainment
diruang empty. Sometimes as a follow up, can be realized in its original form: as the toys that now prevails among the children. Call
it like a continuation of the rise of Japanese cartoons that dominated
Indonesia: Bayblade to produce toys gasingnya, Lets and Go with
Tamiyanya toy car, car tarungnya Crush Gear with similar or other toys
like dolls from the movie Pooh Winne the Pooh and first managed to break the world toy market with ease. All that can be referred to as mediation socialization media products using cartoons as' nabi'nya.Developments Comics, Caricatures, Cartoon in IndonesiaJust
bring a map to the front of the reader, the author noticed that the
actual 'business' image as that contained in the above for the three
media in Indonesia is not or has not been progressing quite serious.Starting from the comic, actually 60s comics in Indonesia first menjanjkan enough. This
is evident from the results that were made by Indonesian artists, such
as by Ganes TH with "blind man from cave ghost", Indri Sudono Dangan
"Petruk and garengnya", Jan Mintaraga with comic "romance", RA Kosasih
the "Mahabharata and Bharatayudhanya", Wid NS
with "character faces Godam and Indonesian", Djair with "Curse
Sangkuriangnya" N.Mintardjar with "Dragon Literature and Intennya Belt",
Herman Phatirto with "Bende Mataram" etc.. Indonesia is a pioneering comic artist that deserves dibangggakan results.The
content or quality of the story and the presentation of some of the
above comic was not inferior to the external current comics. However,
due to the development of today's media, both in terms of presentation
menggukan computer equipment, Indonesian comics ultimately could not
compete with the swift development of the age. Most are now surviving only a few comics in Indonesia. Call
it the "Legend Sawung Shucks and Komeng Flag" which digawean by Dwi
Koen, is one of the last quality comics-so to speak-in Indonesia today. According to the author of the comic classified as serious when compared with other comic (read comics relaxed). Kumkom
magazine as well as a means of media artists in the country who also
take part displays the results of his work is one of the media is
limited to works that do not get a comic seriously. With
the advent of various media are expected to represent the comic kept
the wind from outside comics in the country such as Japan.Caricature
is different again with the world, its development in Indonesia can be
called reciprocal with the current situation of comics. Although
the presence of Caricature world is not so appear in the popularity of
an astra roduk work, but in terms of quantity and quality, especially in
the interest of every newspaper caricature is enormous.G.M. Sudarta
as well cartoonist caricaturist in the newspaper Kompas with "Oom
Pasikomnya" is one that is still going strong to this day with images
that are loaded by the message, criticism, aesthetics and humor levels. With
more familiar characters Sudarta called caricature with an exaggerated
doformasi on someone's face, usually famous people, with "beautify"
through the depiction of typical outward for mocking purposes (Prisma,
No.5, 1981: 49-53).However,
as a caricature, in view Sudarta not always have to be present in the
form of a message or criticism, especially in the context of excessive. If anything, he was named to the editorial cartoon category commonly called the editorial humor image version. It
can be seen, he said in the 1960's caricature published in the weekly
T.Sutanto Students Indonesia, Bandung and in times such as New
Order-cartoonist cartoonist great results (Sanento, Pramod, Priyanto,
Tony Tantra, thomas Leonar, Dwi Koendoro, Yuliman, Mariadi S, Keulman, etc..) have also highlighted: as one of sharp criticism by "killing" 'ala smile. Do not think such actions are not causing anything to sipembuat caricature. Not
long we have been shocked by the arrest of a Chief Editor of the Free
People's Daily, simply due to make a caricature of an official nude
(Akbar Tanjung) deemed it defame a person.Therefore,
often Sudarta consider that in making these caricatures do not overdo
the caricaturist who ultimately less hit the target. So that the zoom can mmbuat people, especially those criticized in the picture feel insulted or excessive suspicious.Ethics
(read: code of ethics) in conducting criticism, he needed at the time
that the mission that was brought up safely and sejahtra.Like what is in its development, the caricature updated with a more varied style. "Doyok"
example figures Siswoyo Keliek used, is a form of short comic type
caricature (in one strip or panel) which has its own characteristics
compared to caricature the old product. Doyok
is present in the daily Pos Kota, in a special column "Lembergar"
(Gazette pictorial For Families) which won the ratings reach highest
circulation reached 74.9 percent of readers (heralds, Kompas
01/11/2002).Imagine,
many sheets of part that is in Pos Kota, a daily newspaper that could
reach 500000-600000 copies daily readers, mostly focused on artificial
caricature Siswoyo this column.In
contrast to GM Pasikomnya Oom Sudarta, caricature made Siswoyo Doyok
more bersipat cultural dialogue that takes place the village. With a unique style, he looked down the public perception about various problems, including political issues in Indonesia. That way he could neutralize what is expected Sudarta with appropriate criticism.Different
again with the comics or cartoons as dijelakan above, Cartoon is a new
problem for the animated film industry in Indonesia. Development
of the information technology world, making the production of Cartoon
in Indonesia 'lethargic' total compared with other countries, Japan for
example. Berjamurannya cartoons 'foreigner' in Indonesian-TV can be seen on TV or in the form of VCDs. Broadcast also has a fixed schedule (such as a family holiday weeks). Call it the movie Slam Dunk, Lats and Go, Doraemon, Sinchan, Dragon Ball, Inuyasa, Bayblade, detective Conan, etc.. is a dominating Jepan cartoon animated film in Indonesia at various stations telivisi. This is understandable because with limited skills cartoonist Indonesia is still at a relatively modest.It
can be seen that in the new phase of the themes of the new cartoon
Indonesia could emerge, as in folk tales or legends of Indonesian
society: Sangkuriang, Cucumber Mas, etc.. That was not in the pembuatanya still require edting foreign intelligence.The cartoons are usually removed from cartoons or comic sketches that followed in animated form. Moreover,
for now, in accordance with the development of a computerized world,
the more complex forms of animated cartoons in the form of
three-dimensional: imaginary form (from the graffiti) is evident at once
that can be incorporated in the human dimension.Of course it is difficult to reach technological development financing, in addition to its collaboration in the making. Examples animated film made in Indonesia recently released "Janus: Last Soldier". Inspired
by such kind of films: Toy Story and Bag's Life, Janus films directed
by Chandra Endroputro is expected to penetrate the cartoon world, it is
in the form of animation in Indonesia. With such demand for ideas on making cartoon could continue, although in pembuatanya still need hands outside.DANI Wardani,Alumni

[LPIK] Bandung, which is currently completing a book of adolescent
psychologyEddy artistic spirit HermantoEDDY Herman (46), is a visual artist who has multiprofesi. Besides

the entertainment world, including journalists Eddy who has helped
raise a number of singers such as name, Inka Kristi, Merry Andani, and
Nafa Urbah. In addition, he also wrote a number of essays on the art that some mass media published in Bandung and Jakarta.As a caricaturist, cartoonist and illustrator, his work is also often nampang in various media, including this newspaper. As
a co-curator (Eddy did not want to be called curators), he often
menguratori the work of artists who will be exhibited, both in Bandung,
Jakarta and other cities. In his capacity as curator, he was curator Mamannoor confidence. As an educator, he is quite sociable and humble. In education he led to the 1990's till 1999 as a teacher of Art and Indonesian in SMA Cibeber, Cianjur. And in 1999 s.d. now he is still believed to be teaching Indonesian Language and Fine Arts at SMAN 17 Bandung.While the cartoon world practiced since 1979 until now. In

an artist, greatly appreciate Eddy Herman positive meaning in art
activities as a source of artistic creation that seemed never subsided. He
consciously revive the spirit of creative art to encourage movement
towards the creation of works of art, caricature and writing about it. Eddy is an inspiration for art, ideology as well as the method in dealing with life and living. His
art was born out of pleasure and freedom, playing a personal
perception, fantasy, illusion and hallucination imagination even as a
powerful tool for the creative deconstruction in playing, distortion,
and irregularities in the realities of life canvas paintings. That's the reality that exists as a series of images or icons in the appearance of such a narrative work of Eddy Herman.Eddy
in the work process is also a figure that spoofed distortion
creatively, resulting in a parody, overturning direction logic, change
the facts become fiction or otherwise. Eddy paintings recently appeared with realistic figurative visual layout. Figurative
in the sense of showing the figures identified by naked eye (humans,
animals, objects or animals human beings mixture), and the strong
realistic by reference to the particular structure of reality even in
distorted form, which tends to the hyperbolic caricature. The figures are arranged in a kontelasi which implies a certain behavior.That fleeting impression of Eddy Herman and his works. As
for when responding to the presence of the art world in general seem so
could not promise to support life, with high optimism Eddy replied, "In
this case we have to give an insight to the community. Communities as part of the required infrastructure must be able to understand the art and can appreciate art. We also should be able to get rid of the image "orthodoxy" of some people who feel that art is "madesu" (bleak future). Moreover, if a profession (painting) has been linked financially. In Western countries it is more appreciated artists. So,
try to continue to assure the public that art is in principle already
aligned with other sciences, "said Siti Rahayu husband (39) and father
