Our first foray into comics.
Only in French for now.
We’ve updated our site with new drawings and projects.
French magazine Clark asked us to draw them a cover for their summer sex issue. We wanted to do something a bit complex and were glad when they were OK with it.
We also have ten pages inside, alongside people we admire deeply, like Harukawa Namio, Stu Mead and Mrzyk & Moriceau and people we despise, like Pierre Woodman.
This cover is designed to elicit strong responses. For more on what we meant, see our site.
Yes we had some new stuff and forget to post about it.
Here is one of three drawings we did for the t-shirt brand Denim Gallery :
Here is the cat we designed and own.

On our other blog, we’re talking manga, ero gekiga and lauding the generosity of strangers.
While in Tokyo a couple of years ago, we went book-shopping with our friends from Crystal. They took us to Bohemian’s Guild in Jimbocho, where we spent about three hours browsing the arts and design section and lamenting the fact that we couldn’t dive into the literature section, for lack of linguistic proficiency.
At the store worked a great guy whose name escapes me (it’s a diagnosed illness, to be so lame with names, my apologies), friend of our friends. He gave us a bag with the books pictured above ; it was a gift. He said he was done with manga and that what we loved now, he used to love in high school. He was more into French literature and philosophy now, particularly into Claude Simon (a novelist I was unhealthily into when I was in high school, incidentally).
So we went home very happy, with tons of Maruo books, a couple of Shintaro Kago paperbacks, two great books by Yoshikazu Ebisu and some 80s ero gekiga we didn’t know by Hiromi Hiraguchi and Michio Hisauchi (looking up his name, we found the phrase “masochism poem” and found it good).
We’ll post some scans from the lesser-known books from time to time, for some pages are spectacular.

We also made some proposals for the poster, but they went in another direction, as we say in the business.
For most of these, we used photos by Shelby Duncan, a great photographer from Los Angeles who took all the on-set pictures.
We posted some more drafts we still like on our site.
