Acquaintance

It's strikingly cold and gray in Berlin now and gets dark much earlier than it did a month ago - and after all this time I still manage to find this change of season comforting in its familiarity. Until the SAD kicks in and I need to switch the daylight lamp on, obviously.

November is nigh, and that means conventions! Specifically, I will be tabling at Zinefest Berlin on Saturday, October 29 (only one day for me this year), followed by Thought Bubble in Leeds on November 5 & 6, in New Dock Hall, Table 112b. Please do drop by if you're in town!

That sweet inexorable return to the long nights of winter.

Seasonal

Been awhile since I unpacked Them Feels, eh?

The time for buying plane tickets to Thought Bubble is nigh, so I am currently doing small commissions for $25! Details here.

Friday Sketchpost: Characters

A recent sketch of some characters, some of which you may recognize from this comic. Happy Friday!

That Time of Year Again

To be fair, I'm a dual French-American citizen living in Germany, so until late October 2017 it's pretty much campaign season for me aaalllll the time.

I'm back from Stockholm! It was a great and refreshing ten days, and I am very grateful to everyone who was a part of the trip and made it possible. Vi ses.

Surprise (BETON #7)

"That's pretty cute actually, he just wanted to give you a present, didn't he?" "I don't give a crap, it was disgusting!!"

Issue #7 of the Franco-German comics zine BETON is out! This is the entry I contributed following the theme of "Fressen/Bouffer" (which is a particularly complex set of words to translate into English; in this case it pertains to when animals eat).

In other news, I am off to Stockholm this weekend! It has been too long.

Friday Sketchpost: salt + sass #5

Last week saw the first anniversary edition of Salt + Sass, connecting and celebrating women working in Berlin's music industry, this time through an excellent conversation with Sasha Perera and Jen Ferrer of Friends of Friends. Here is to many, many more editions of Salt + Sass.

Augmented Reality

I have not played Pokemon GO yet, but the excitement has been omnipresent contagious.

It's mid-July once again, and that means there is a new issue of BETON coming out this Friday! Come on down to Neukölln's Raum B and have a drink with us to celebrate and pick up your copy, featuring a brand-new two page story of mine (and the short story debut of a character I have drawn many, many times over the past several years)!

It also means I am returning to my dearly beloved Stockholm two weeks from now for a weeklong visit! To offset the cost of traveling (as well as those of traveling to Thought Bubble in November), I have reopened the Traveling Tip Jar page, accepting donations either in exchange for personal art or simply via PayPal or Patreon.

Comic-Con

3G issues notwithstanding, I had a fun time at Comic-Con Germany! I am now back in Berlin for a couple weeks before taking off to Stockholm for a week.

Will you be at Comic-Con Germany in Stuttgart this weekend? I will! In the Comic Zone, table 127, to be precise. I have never been to Stuttgart and am looking forward to visiting. Please do come say hi!
