Masuko




I go to school with Masuko, the funniest and most charming girl! We share a love for Moomins and sweets. One day she drew that Banana on my sketchbook and I drew something else, and it became a story that I turned into a zine! Its available on my shop along with "The Hat" and an original postcard (for super cheap!).  Above is a reproduction of a drawing of Masuko that I put on my pocket. 
Check out her new blog !


                                          



                   Yes, this is us (left: me, right: her). As you can see we are super cool and tough.

Les Puces de St Ouen

Puces de St Ouen

I found great things at St Ouen, a flea market in the outskirts of Paris. The cardigan is from the 
50's and it has this beautiful Petit Prince illustration printed in silk pannels (a treasure!). 
I also bought a tiny box of razors from 1946 and one of liquorish (things WERE more beautiful in
the past). And lastly, an original postcard that a man sent to his aunt to wish her a happy new year.

Le Neveu

In the back it says: "Bonne Année, Bonne santé de la part de votre neveu J.Z. / 29 rue Anselme, Saint Ouen".






 it's the flea market where Owen Wilson meets Léa Seydoux :)

Brecht Evens











While I was in Paris I bought "Les Amateurs", an amazing graphic novel by Dutch artist Brecht Evens.
It has become definitely one of the most beautiful and fascinating graphic novels I have ever read, it s impossible not to stare at each page for ages. I m really excited to have discovered the work of Evens and I couldn t resist the urge to share it.
According to Amazon the english version will be released May 22nd, the title is: "The Making Of"

The illustration above kills me, the direct reference to the Unicorn Tapestries from the Netherlands is so charming.

Paris



      I just came back from spending two weeks in Paris where I was visiting my brother who recently 
      moved there. Some of my dearest friends were there and I had the best time ever. 
      Here are some details of Paris. I´ll be posting about my discoveries soon.
