Last December, I was pleased to exhibit my work in Lapnet Ship, Tokyo.
About fifty prints were exposed, some being a preview of my forthcoming picture book.
A corner was also dedicated to Patapon 2, visitors being able to make wild multiplayer games.
Here is a small outline.

For this occasion a series of postcards reproducing most of the artworks exposed was printed (postcards with metallic print, spot varnish & silver foil)

I would like to thank Interlink, Medicom, Domestic, SCEJ & Pyramid for their help and support (for the beautiful flowers too!).
I would also like to thank the numerous people who came.
I was really moved by how enthusiastically the exhibition was welcomed.
That’s truly given me the desire to try this adventure again this year :)
Thanks a lot!

Still Alive projects.01

2008-05-29T08:19:00.005+02:00

I really enjoy comic books, I’ve read thousands of those…
It was one of my dreams to draw one, but except small incursions and other tries, I never really took the plunge.
Until one of my “Heroes”, a famous French comics artist and also “directeur de collection” of one of the biggest French comics editor called me :
"Hi Rolito, if you have a pen, some paper and a computer I would like you to create your own comics".
I let you imagine my mood after this phone call. :)
I thus restarted one of my old projects: U.U.U.
In complicity with Run, we drew a storyboard and a few pages.
Because one of my other projects is engrossing all my time, this one is going forward very slowly.
U.U.U belongs to these projects which are really important to me, but should not be “finished” before a long time.
Even if I continue to work on it (in a very erratic way) I still do not know whether in the end it will be a Comic book or Picture Book…
Wait & see:)
