OK. I'm back.
First more Angouleme report: before it all evaporates, I will mention some more highlights.
Comes, master of black and white compositions and tales of witchcraft in rural Ardennes, was celebrated with an exhibition and saluted with a standing ovation at the closing ceremony.
But as I check the
Angouleme website for a link to his artwork, I find that we have just lost another great.
There was a fascinating lecture from Jean Pierre Dionnet about mysterious italian fumetto artist Devi,
a chance to catch Vuillemin in the flesh being quizzed about press cartooning , lovely nibbles and drinks at the opening of Brecht Evens'
La Boite a Gand exhibition, and much hilarity at the polling booth when exercising our right to vote.
Disappointments included the Spirou documentary and the Uderzo exhibition ( not enough original artwork among the blow-ups of pages and giant fibreglass models).
And I never found my sketchbook. However I will move on.
And draw more sketches. Like this.
I will be appearing at
Comiket next month, and have applied for table space at MCM London, along with my good friends
The Dessinators.
