Hey! I’m back. At least for now. No, I haven’t abandoned this blog, but just like pretty much everything else in 2020, it has been put on hold a little bit. While some people are bored out of their minds in lockdown, my experience of the Covid-19 pandemic has been […]
Today Jojojiba asked me a pretty long, but interesting question: Despite being one of the powerhouses of European cinema as well as some of the most important pioneers of film artistry, how come France could not produce a Golden Age star who is still adored today internationally like Sophia Loren?

Among the many projects, plans, and things that got derailed by Covid-19, we can add my plan of drawing weekly thanks to the Inktober 52 project (regular updates to this blog too are among the victims, I know). Well, now I’m on vacation for a few weeks, and I’m mostly […]

Have I told you about my friend David? Well, he’s a really cool guy with a great family, and just go check out his website, you’ll understand better. Also, his twitter account where he’s mostly active online. He’s also on a few more platforms and he had the great idea […]
