Another video from the Quai Des Bulles French comics festival.

Here's another video from the Quai Des Bulle French comics festival I attended recently. You get a peak at the Ankama booth, the Comix Buro booth and exhibition area, and me drawing in a fan's book.

Back from France!

Hey everyone,

I'm back from France where I was a guest of the comic festival Quai des Bulles in beautiful St. Malo, France. I had a great time, and met many wonderful people! Everyone in France welcomed me with nothing but generosity and kindness. I can't thank them all enough for their welcoming me, and all the love they're are heaping onto Oms en Série!


Oms en Série and Niourk were a big hit at the festival, but Comix Buro also debuted my new sketchbook at the show. I can't say enough about how great the book came out! I also found out that people can now order the book from the Comix Buro store. 

I won't bore you with all that happened during my trip, but I'll share some of the highlights.

In a surprise twist of fate Lada and I  discovered we had the same friend from Philly! Small world. Here is us hamming it up for the camera.

 

On a train from St. Malo to Paris, left to right - My partner on Oms, writer Jean-David JD Morvan, my fantastic editor Elsa Sztulcman, me, legendary artist Olivier Vatine, Ankama publisher and good friend Olivier Jalabert,  and lastly amazing artist (who is also contributing a book to the Stefan Wul line) Mathieu Reynes.

Both Stefan Wul books were in full display at the Ankama booth! I couldn't believe how cool their set up was.

 Just a small part of the large Comix Buro art exhibition area, which was separate from their booth. It was full of amazing original art from many Comix Buro artists as well as work from the folks working on the Stefan Wul books.

So, there you go. My trip in a very small nut shell. Besides St. Malo I spent a few days in Paris and Brussels, but didn't take many pictures. Sorry. Still, I hope you enjoy this small glimpse into my trip.

best,
Mike

Appearance at the Quai des Bulle!

Hello,

Just a note to any French fans out there, I will be appearing at this years Quai des Bulles comic festival in St. Malo, France. I believe I'll be floating between the Ankama and Comix Buro booths, with new books at both booths.

Stop by and say "Bonjour!" :-)

See the Festival's website for details. .

For all my American friends and fans, I'll be posting pics from the festival. In addition to the festival there will be an art show, the release of my new sketchbook, as well as a slew of interviews (7 at my last counting) going on during the show, so I'll have plenty to share once I'm back home.

Talk to you soon!

Thanks!
Mike
