Now
Hello! Here's what I've been up to lately–in no particular order.
Renovating a barn in Northern Alsace. We should definitely be able to move in before Christmas!
Raising two lovely children. And loving their dad dearly.
Collaborating with The Toy Library for their digital platform to get known and adopted by Irish families. Sharing toys and caring for the environment creates great, positive social impact. Teaching kids a new paradigm works wonders.
Preparing teaching lessons about the basis of the creation process, as this Fall 25/26 I will join the IUT Haguenau at University of Strasbourg as visiting professor in Digital Art.
Reading
📚 "Que crève le capitalisme" (Capitalism should die) by Hervé Kempf. He's the author of a comics novel I've recently read and liked for how the data and numbers are shown in a digestible, pedagogic way. Powerful.
📚 I'm also reading children comics books here and there, partly as research and exercice for the one I'm drawing myself, but also simply because I enjoy doing so. Recent reads: "Boule à zéro", "Les carnets de Cerise", and "Little Nemo, retour à Slumberland" (a gem!).
✔️ "The Vegetarian", by Nobel Prize winner Han Kang. Caught by the title, I didn't expect it to be so raw and disturbing at times. Surprenant, I'd say in French, but not sure I'd feel like reading it again.
✔️ During a slow one-week trip from Alsace to Puglia by train in June, I've started and finished "American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins. It had me in tears.
Drawing characters for a comics project written by a colleague from the Ecole CESAN Scénario de bande-dessinée course I took back in 2018 in Paris. A story of hospitals, doors, children, and imaginary tales.
Nurturing my ongoing collaboration with the Swiss Medical Network clinics I have the pleasure to work with since 2019. Beside standard graphic design, they often commission me special illustration projects and pedagogic supports I love to create.
Researching alternatives to the surveillance capitalism, fighting for my right to privacy, cheering the open web. I want to show my kids that another way is possible, that they have the power to choose who to trust, and that they should be mindful about what personal data they share and with whom.
Breathing. Remembering myself that there are only two things one is forced to do in his life: to breath, and to die. And to love–nature, oneself, someone else. We should open our hearts to life.
Did I say I'm raising two incredible children?
This page is inspired by Derek Sivers' now page, and the concept found on Elena Rossini's blog. Nownownow is a webring I found out about on Tommi's space and which I'm now proudly part of.
