Ooops - Angoulême

    Yesterday I was in Angoulême for the BD Festival. First time there. It was huge, and one day is definitely not enough to visit the place. I did not plan to buy anything, since I am no great BD lover (unlike others close by who were frantic for hours and hours - and did not even stop to feed themselves). 
    But, - there is a but - , of couse, I have been weak.
    I first stumbled accross prints by Kei Acedera, from Imaginism Studios. And also the book by Bobby Chiu, The perfect bait. Two great artists that I discovered at Galerie Arludik in Paris for the Alice in Wonderland exhibition. Here are my treasures :


   I thought I could relax then, but as I strolled around the stand of Peter Maresca, Sunday Press Books, for the second time that day (I tend to be strong in the morning and weak in the afternoon), it happened.
I bought this book :


This is a huge book, both in size and beauty (and price). To give you an idea of the beast hugeness :

These are adult hands.

I am weak.
But I'm very happy.
