On the way to Patmos, after two ice coffees and some mythos,
there's nothing left to do, except sleep.

Ny Hellisund, an out-of-time hamlet. It seems they've recently been connected to electric power

Grimstad, small norvegian town.
We slept on the boat, under the noisy medleys of a local rock band playing live in the restaurant next to the Gjesthus

Welcome on board, to a short trip in Sweden and Norway. Captain Marc and his wife Sylvie sailed "Chamade", Benoît helped to work the sails and I staid discreet as much as possible, concentrating myself on observation. We've casted the anchor some miles after Göteborg; the scenery incited us to pull our watercolor box out... See the web link on the right.

Kinda asian Starbucks...

Part of the HK harbour

A stinky lane full of dried-fish shops

It seems bit gray, but the weather is bad here...

Shape of the things to come.

I found my colors back, by a typical geneva's sunny-windy winter day. Sight over my back yard, rue des maraîchers.

Watch below for further informations

Five centuries that this mosque stand with his minaret in the center of Sofia, next to a synagogue and among plenty of churches. I just wonder for what reason should we vote a law to forbid minaret's building? that's exactly what swiss people are goin'to decide next week-end and I feel it ridiculous and pitiful.

Tentative to portray the beautiful bright visage of the writer.

Fall of the Berlin wall. The mausoleum built in the center of Sofia to shelter the body of Giorgy Dimitrov (president of the bulgarian communist party in the 40's) was changed to public toilets in 1992.

Sofia, 1994

A pair of larches (mélèzes) posing naked.

St.-Luc 1998

View on the pass (2479m) and the hospice that has never been closed since year 1050. Where the pilgrim's route from Canterbury to Roma goes by.

The Chanoines Réguliers in the 50's. This religious order is leading the place.

Hooligan found again in an old sketchbook.

And his colleague.

Another sight of the Dauberhorn, drawn last week-end, the very first of august, national day here.

Six books are born! Just prototypes, for sure, and in need to be improved. I'll exhibit some of the content in the biennale du carnet de voyage in Clermont-Ferrand in november 09, then in the mythical Club 44 of la Chaux-de-fonds in 2010. More informations later.

I'm sweating on a hudge new stuff. Comic book, graphic novel. More information in 2-3 monthes

A nice poster design made for botanical garden exhibition of 2002, unfortunately refused.

In less than two weeks, I'll be in delhi again.
Some kind of rejoicing mixed with apprehension.

Durban II (conference against racism) in Geneva expressed the supposed "clash of civilisation", while the 23rd International Book Fair, inviting Turkey as a special guest, reminded of the indestructible links between orient and occident.
Drawing made for the newspaper "le courrier".

Despite the decrete of dictator-president Ben Ali's to ban the use of chicha (waterpipe) on the public way, some folks were keepin'on smoking on the pavement. Sousse, 1995

Character created in 2001, for the Sapinrock festival. Few days ago I got a mail from a guy asking me to exhibit the festivals poster in the museum of Saxon, township which organized the event. A nice surprise!

It's all in the title!
But I can add that the scene happened in a kind of haunted manor, a house out of another time, actually a heritage hotel in Matheran, Maharastra

friends of drawing, mountain and gastronomy,
If by chance you go by Albinen, have a look at my mini exhibition in Godswärgjistubu. For those that cannot come so far, just ask by mail and I'll send the catalogue back.

horaires d'ouverture:
jeudi, vendredi, samedi, lundi 17h - 23h
dimanche 11h - 23h
L'Auberge se situe à 50m de l'église

Okay, this was made last year, but I guess for christmas, a church is the right subject to show. And anyway I wish you all a good one

That's the reason why I didn't add any new stuff for so long here. Thanks for your understanding. Anyway if you are in Bern between the 23 and 30th of january, just have a look on the exhibit.

Today's financial crisis remind me this of 1992. As jobless, I had to work with some other unfortunate fellows on a building site. It was a great fun, quite exhausting. There's no silly job. This one was a real one, if you compare with which is made by all those fucking clowns of wall street.

Quite a magic place, to eat, drink, discuss and spend hours. There you'll feel Wallis exactly how it always should be: traditionally rooted, open to the other, culturally mixed, close to real values. It would be nothing without the owner, Sacha and Hannelore, whom are making it unique. Adress is on the link list.

Mom read "le Monde Diplomatique", Dad "die Neue Zürcher Zeitung" and for the lil'girl, there is "Life Star". These readings tell a lot about this little family, skirted in the Geneva-Sierre train, an evening of april.

"Then one day I could tell my tracks
by the holes in the soles of my shoes
And that’s the day I said
I’m gonna make the news
and falling back in the garden of days so long ago"
Joe Strummer

Me if I was a Turk. Self-portrait I did 14 years ago. I exhume all those old stuff, notes and sketches, motivated as never to make a book of this long travel which lead me in Syria in 1994.

Special edition: here comes the unique image I didn't draw myself. Wazem made it last thursday, in the beginning of a ride trough geneva's nightlife. Final result was a hudge headache. Friday morning, mine looks like the background of the illustration. Waterfalls and rocks noise rumbling in my head. It was a great pleasure to meet pierre again, after almost 10 years.

the show was really scratchy, but as this krush only showed his cap, I kept reather this after-instant. An unknow girl, Mass of Samaël on stage, and balthazar (lil'mofo) cleaning the place with a shovel and a bad mood

J'ai toujours été charmé par les pins, toutes espèces confondues. Ce pin noir d'autriche, dans une cour à l'arrière de la Schüsspromenade, en plein centre de Bienne, est particulièrement majestueux. J'écris ces deux derniers messages dans les languages régionaux, exceptionnellement, en hommage au bilinguisme de cette ville étonnante.

Heute Morgen musste ich in die Schule gehen. Trotzdem habe ich Biel erreicht, hatte absolut kein Lust für lernen in eine Klassraum. Ich dachte an Robert Walser, es war ein Tag für bummeln... und zeichnen.
