When someone recently asked me if I sold prints, I felt a little silly saying no, so I did some investigating and finally found a company that produces high-quality art prints and ships worldwide (the last one I used was in the US, which was impractical).

Sounds like something you’re into? Then use the code 20NL20 to get 20% off any order before the end of the year. Also, it’s almost Christmas, and who wouldn’t be happy to be gifted a mug adorned with a happy puffy pigeon, or to receive a greeting card with a lovely design made in cut paper during my last depressive episode?

More loveliness this way.

The book I worked on during the summer finally came out. The Radar initiative uses science fiction and reporting to anticipate solutions to potential threats.

I illustrated a short story about a fraction of the population living in autarky, an article about billionaires’ plans of creating cities (and entire states) operating outside of state laws, and a fiction about disinformation and secession in France.

I enjoyed working on these topics and was given free reins by the art director, Adeline Murier, which was particularly interesting. Out now at Éditions Robert Laffont.

Lisa Hanawalt’s exhibit at Huberty & Breyne. I had a chance to chat to her about her creative process and latest projects and I cannot wait to see them!

I highly recommend her latest show, “Long Story Short”, which is incredibly well written, designed & voice-acted (streaming on Netflix).

My Youtube algorithm blessed me with this video of Werner Herzog musing about skateboarding, a cross-over I never would have expected. It is absolutely delightful:

Lucio Fulci’s 1971 A Lizard In a Woman’s Skin, which has all the trademarks of a good giallo: great costumes and styling, gratuitous nudity, red paint for blood, stellar acting, and a convoluted plot involving… psychoanalysis. I watched this because of the Ennio Morricone score and was pleasantly surprised. Bonus points for the extremely lovely type:

And that’s it for this month! Thanks for being here. If you think this newsletter would be of interest to somebody else, feel free to forward it to them. 

Till next month, take care,
