I get a lot of submissions for the blog, and here is a great one I just get.  Established by Monica Ong, Proxima Vera is a micro-press specializing in visual poetry broadsides, literary art objects, and digital editions. Distinct in design and playful innovation, these literary works reside within distinguished institutions and private collections worldwide. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I already said, updating this blog for 15 years seems unreal, even for me. After all these years, I changed it and adapted it. With a lot of time dedicated to Instagram, I have to found a new way to create with this blog. So what about giving it back its first purpose: a personal diary. So I will try to post every week (or less if nothing happens) to update you on what I do and what inspires me. 

 

At the end of September, it will be the end of 6 years in my actual studio! I need to move to a new place, and so on it is a good time to organize and clean. I have put a lot of found items in the shop. I collect these boxes and ephemera over the past years and do not worry, I still have a lot to inspire me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I spend less and less time on facebook, only for precise groups or inspiration account. And This one is one I love. This guy post amazing thematic posts about old Paris, with photos, maps but also a lot of details. Check it here. 

These photos of Paris traffic in early 1900 are fascinating! Imagine the streets with horsecars and the brand new cars, buses and tramway and the holes to start building the metro! Who said it was better before...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met Clint Harvey 10 years ago as I was invited to do a talk in Brisbane, Australia. Yes, my first talk was in English on the other side of the world. But the best part was to do a letterpress workshop and met Clint. We became instant friends, and some years later he came to France and we do a French-type tour. Clint has an amazing collection dedicated to his passion for letterpress, The Bacon Factory, and it served as a classroom and public workshop. Unfortunately, the Bacon Factory has been issued with only a few days to vacate the building.

Clint asks me to help him with Go Fund Me that will allow him to secure a shipping container so that they can preserve this unique archive, continue to give the public access to letterpress printing and so that the Bacon Factory won't become homeless again.
