2025 in my sketchbook, part 2

If you missed part 1, here it is

The amazing Ruth Asawa, so inspiring, I had this book for 5 years and never opened it until I gave it to Chatts last year!

I also had the dubious (but so worth it!) distinction of being the only straight brown woman at this event one evening.

Then we went to Annecy for the best animation festival in the world! Best, not the b-igg-est. (When did we as a species forget about valuing quality?)

Some notable mentions – Fixed, the Hungarian showcases, Sylvain Chomet (maestro!) and many more. I also lost my France sketchbook at Lyon airport…

But a definitive moment was meeting Charles Berberian at Lyon BD! Watershed, for sure.

Part 3 coming next. When, I can’t say.

Life with Picasso, Art

I recently finished reading this book Life with Picasso, and there was much in that book that I wanted to remember for ever. So I made some visual notes for myself. This is the first in that series.

Quoted from the book, page numbers to be updated.

The brown boy in Paris

The brown boy had a fantastic time in Paris last summer.

He began by showing off the only word in his French vocabulary…
Then, he found posters of his favorite bande dessinées auteurs and ate les moules frites
