    Just got back from the 36th international comics festival in Angouleme, and the very first I had the chance to experience myself, and what an experience it was!

    It was unlike any other festival I have ever seen. The whole city participated in one way or another. Restaurants had white papers and markers in every table next to the salt and pepper, sometimes they even made the drawings people left at the table, part of the restaurant decoration, hanging them around the walls. I saw comics exhibitions even in churches. Not to mention that in every bar and cafe I sat and took out my sketchbook to sketch something, everyone around smiled at me. There are really so many things worth mentioning, I could go on and on.

    More photos soon…
