Between the Jungle and pavillons, zines workshop & co

Mg 2116

So it's February already and this year starts very strong. Some news ! 


I had the chance to run a great workshop in December at ESAD Pyrénées in Pau, invited by Jean-Marc Saint-Paul. Doing non-fiction comics, print it in riso and make a zine out of it in 4 days were the challenges that a dynamic group of first-years plunged into. More pics on my instagram feed. Thanks to the whole school team, teachers and administrators, and to the students for the good vibes although sometimes restricted work conditions: we have to support public art schools, privatizing this sector facilitated by the constant budget cuts allows always more elitism in the art world, but you know, same as for regular schools and the hospital.

Entre Jungle et pavillons, it a series from William's story (name changed), multilingual volunteer in Calais, that I write and draw on the insta feed @experiences_militantes. From an original idea and invitation by Adèle Mesones, some comic artists do comics on stories of volunteering and militant engagement in order to understand why and how people do that. Stories are then published as risoprinted zines, available on l'Amour Éditions' online shop. Selling them allows to pay their authors and to propagate the stories outside of Instagram.

More to come this year in terms of exciting collaborations which I will tell you about later.
Some key days to save the date:

Festival Central Vapeur and its micro-edition fair, on March 25th-26th.
Open studios in Strasbourg, on May 13th-14th and 20th-21th where I'll be opening my studio one last time before going towards new adventures.
- Petites Cités exhibition at the Festival Quai des Bulles in Saint-Malo, end of October.

See you soon :)
