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.

Saved by drawing on a doomed day

when nothing works.

As always.

If you found the easter egg you might agree with Linda Huang:

His love for Sebald is evident in the way these were conceived and designed as collages. Each of them, especially The Emigrants, is thoughtful, poetic, and a nod to Sebald’s writing—fragmentary and nostalgic—without being overtly melancholic (we don’t want to sell sad covers). They’re so gorgeous I want to buy them all only to rip off the covers and frame them.
