In 2 weeks Chris and I will be leaving the beautiful city of San Francisco to move to Atlanta. Even though I am a little sad that our West Coast time is over, I am also pretty excited about the change. I have never lived on the East Coast (and never actually been to Atlanta), so it will be a very new experience :D So what do you you do in the last 2 weeks before a major move? Aside from packing (I spare you the photos of boxes and …

Since I regularly find myself in the french-speaking part of Switzerland next to the French border, I decided to try and post regular follow-ups on the happenings in the french-speaking comics (bande dessinee)/manga world. For those who might be unfamiliar with the french-speaking comics/manga scene, I think it’s worth mentioning that french-speaking comics (aka “bande dessinee”) had (and still have) a big presence and role in Europe, beginning with the world-famous TinTin. Several prestigious art-schools dedicated to sequential art exist in France, Belgium and Switzerland and have produced numerous best-selling …
Once again, I made the now almost traditional several days stop in Boston on my way over to Geneva. Aside from putting Dee hopelessly behind on her packing for the big move to Singapore there was, of course, plotting for comics, the amazing food orgy with the now traditional coconut shrimp, a killer lemon cake, some delicious sushi and breakfast waffles etc etc. Needless to say, I was glad they don’t make you pay extra on the plane for your own extra weight afterwards…. >_<;

Have you a preference in identifying yourself in your stories? A dashing knight? A tomboy? A Teddy Bear?? :D
Ha! Finally a sketch on the blog! :D This is a character for one of the current 2 candidates for the short story Dee and I are going to do for an anthology. “Coffee Junkee” is the temporary title I’ll go by for now (usually Dee makes fun of my ability to come up with lousy titles/names, so don’t get attached to it! XD)
Actually, we have a good drawer of sketches from the project we have been working on for the past year, but after deliberation we decided to post …
I just came back from 2,5 days in Las Vegas where we went to celebrate Chris’s new “Dr” status. It was my second time visiting the place and again, it felt like a whole different planet. :D I am not at all a gambler, but the sight of the giant Black Pyramid of the Luxor and the illuminated strip extending to the horizon from the room on the 31st floor does something to me - I feel a bit like Axel! :D
It was pretty hot too, and after the foggy …
