Chaque homme a une obligation de se battre

Today I post these drawings in homage to my friend Boualem Sansal, a great writer and a great man. He continues to live in his native Algeria despite repression and harassment. I made these sketches of him in Berlin in 2009, while he read from his novel "Le village de l'Allemand" (published in English as "The German Mujahid"). This spring, Sansal traveled to Israel to attend a literature festival in Jerusalem - something that no other writer from a muslim country has yet dared to do. His latest novel is "Rue Darwin", and you should read it.

exprime-toi

This is an improvised page from a comic strip story that doesn't yet exist. The text is in french. In the last panel, the narrative continuity kind of evaporates – I beg your kind indulgence. It's a large scan, so you can look at it closely if you open it in a new window.

People Drawings

Here are two drawings I made recently in Vienna. The first is a man who was sitting across from me in the streetcar, the second are people at some underground art event. I am interested in learning to draw faces, hair and hairstyles, clothing styles, clothing folds, body postures, and so on. There is always an infinity of aspects you can focus on while drawing.
