The BD festival that takes place every year in Angoulême was great – this year we queued up for the cartoonist Tebo aka Captain Bicepts …a very popular bande dessinée amongst the french children. Tebo was great to meet, in spite of a long queue of fans he spent time talking while signing autographs BD style and had a great sense of humour. A TV series is due out in 2009 and there will be an English version too…watch out for Tebo…I was charmed.
Nous sommes passés au festival de la BD qui a lieu tous les ans à Angoulême – cette année nous avons pris notre courage à deux mains et avons fait la queue (2 heures…merci Françoise pour le sandwich au gorgonzola…) pour se faire dédicacer Captain Biceps…une des Bd préferée de “Bein Ouais”. Tebo est charmant…vraimentt sympathique et s’est appliqué malgré le monde à faire une dédicace que mon pt’it fiston gardera probablement toute sa vie…
à suivre les aventures de Captain Biceps en dessin animé cette année puis une BD numéro 5 prévue en 2010…

I am a big fan of Yann-Arthus Bertrand. He is currently exhibiting online and offline with his latest project 6 milliards d’Autres.
5000 interviews filmed in 75 different countries, the exhibition is held in Paris in The Grand Palais from the 10th of January to the 12th of February 09.
“6 Billion Others” is not a geopolitical study, nor is it a work of sociology. “6 Billion Others” is a perspective on humanity, a collection of human stories. Stories of fears, joys, and dreams, which make up our common Story. Bearing witness to the diversity of mankind, we wish to show that difference does not exclude understanding: on the contrary, it is necessary for the survival of the world as we know it.
You can also participate to the project online

A while back in La Rochelle I visited the current exhibition of Jean Chevolleau located in Le Cloître des Dames Blanches-La Rochelle. I especially liked this work:
Don Quichotte et Rossinante
He used a lot of chalks which I particularly like. If you are around this area this summer I would recommend the walk around the cloitre, the gardens are pretty and the paintings make it that little bit cultural , it is totally free but as often in La Rochelle kept a secret from the tourists …
