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 […]
Yes, things are finally growing in my garden! This picture is actually from a week ago, and it has grown even more since! I’m kinda proud. My attempt from two years ago was a failure (except for some very skinny daikon, I don’t even really care for daikon). […]
Last winter, when a new coronavirus started to spread in Asia, and later in the world, my Chinese and Hong Konger friends and acquaintances quickly implored me to wear a surgical mask. I was a bit confused about their insistence. I didn’t know nor care much about masks, but the […]

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 […]
The merge is usually one of the most intense episodes of the season, and for a season that is quite intense and promises to be more and more intense every week from now on, I found it somewhat subdued. Usually the merge vote is where “lines are drawn in the […]
So I skipped last week’s drawing for Inktober 52. It was Elf, and I wasn’t too inspired by it. It was either a Tolkien’s Elf, but I would have botched it for sure. Or it would have been something silly (Elf on a Shelf?), and I just was not in […]
