Summer news
Hi there,
it’s been a while !
I don’t have much to say. Maybe little updates.
I’m still trying to find a cure for my mental illness. Well, not really a cure but something like on this picture, a lifelong treatment :
Also, I’ve been working on my new print shop. It’s here. And my t-shirts shop will come later. Here are some pics :
Oh.. And I broke my arm. I can’t draw.
But I’m publishing a comic serie I drew a while ago, it’s called « The Sad Unicorn ».
I want to show people that depression can affect everyone, even people that seem to have it all together.
All the comics and news will come here:
Mental Health Awareness month

Art Gives Me Hope (Chicago art show) – pictures
Last week, was the « Art Gives Me Hope » annual art show organized by Hope For The Day, in Chicago. A drawing of mine was in there, and I’m so proud to have been a part of this beautiful show supporting mental health and suicide prevention.
Here are some beautiful pictures by Hope For The Day.
Presentation
Alona sent me this amazing picture of her presentation about depression. And she’s not the first one. I’m so proud to be helping psychologists from the whole planet !

Ma première expo hors de la région sera à Chicago, pour la soirée « Art Gives Me Hope » organisée par Hope For The Day, à Communitas le 13 avril. Tu aurais vu la tête de ma grand-mère quand je lui ai dit !! Mon visuel sera au milieu d’artistes comme Matt Skiba de Blink-182, Joel de The Amity Affliction, Shepard Fairey et plein d’autres…
J’ai d’ailleurs choisi l’illu ou on voit la chaîne des puys en fond, ça fera un petit peu de notre Auvergne là-bas.

Wednesday was an amazing day !
The first email I read was from The Mighty, telling me they shared some of my comics. It’s here. I’m so glad because I love this website.
Later in the day, I was on The Independant. I answered to some questions and Kashmira wrote an amazing article. I think that’s another life achievement for me !
2 amazing websites on the same day !! WOAW !
I receive many wonderful messages and get many notifications. Thanks you ever so much everyone, you keep making my days. And I’m sorry for the comments I miss on tumblr, I have so many notifications that I can’t see everything.
News on the shop coming !
Some wonderful people also asked if I was selling prints and goodies of these artworks. I’m currently working on news to add on the shop ! I found a new printing partner who can ship in the whole world so I can’t wait for everything to be ready !
The goodies you’ll buy on the shop will help me to have some time to create the comics I share on the internet and that everyone can enjoy for free.
I’ll also be looking for a publisher to share the comics with everyone as a book. Wait’n see.
World tour in my bed
Those last weeks have been emotional.
It all started when I published some comics about anxiety and depression on Bored Panda.
http://www.boredpanda.com/anxi
In the following hours, it was in the popular posts. Just WOAW!! Now, it has over 250K views and over 35K likes.
I got many many beautiful messages from people who wanted to thank me for making them feel understood and less alone. But also from teachers, people and even therapists who wanted to share it with children and students to bring awareness about mental health. I feel so honored and proud. Thank you so much everyone.
I’m thinking about puting it all in a book. Maybe self-publish it. Or find an editor. I don’t know yet, I’m thinking about it.
After that, it was featured on many many websites and in over 5 languages. And I’m sure I missed so many articles. Here are some :

Hope For The Day
Hope For The Day is an organization that focuses on mental health education throught self expression.
I met them over a year ago, at the Never Say Die Tour. As I’ve always been struggling with anxiety and mental issues, I could relate to the cause, so I emailed them and we’ve been speaking about collaboration.
They asked me to tell them my story and they are sharing some of my recents artworks on their social media accounts to bring awereness about mental illness. And I’m really proud of this.

I’m also sharing lots of comics about this on http://sow-ay.tumblr.com/
I can also tell you I’ll be making an exhibition about mental illness with those minimalist drawings. I made many as the anxiety became stronger than ever and discovering my artworks can help people gave me an amazing purpose.
Expo @ Le Tremplin (Beaumont)
En ce moment, j’expose au Tremplin de Beaumont (63). Une très belle salle de concert gérée par une équipe super sympa. En temps qu’addict de musique, c’est la grande joie de pouvoir exposer ici ! L’expo reste sur place jusqu’aux vacances de noël.
Je t’invite à regarder leur programmation pour pouvoir voir l’expo en concert : check ! (en plus les concerts sont pas chers, que demander de plus ?)
Héhé, y’a mon nom dans la programmation d’une salle de concert !
Salon du tatouage de Clermont-Fd
Ce week-end, c’était le 1er salon du tatouage de Clermont.
Et cet article souvenir se fera en citations. J’ai pu en noter quelques unes de Pascal, l’animateur du week-end :
_ Quelle est la spécialité de la Creuse ? … L’assiette ! Parce que l’assiette creuse !
_ La dernière fois que j’ai vu The Cure, c’était à Vichy. (pour les connaisseurs)
_ Il y a aussi la plus grande convention de tatouage d’Europe, voir du monde qui a lieu ce week-end, à Londres ! Pas de chance pour eux, tout le monde est à Clermont !
_ On dit que les enfants ressemblent à leurs parents. Moi, je ressemble au voisin du 5ème, je sais pas pourquoi…
_ Théo, c’est un prénom à faire du basket ça ! Théo, t’es haut, ha ha …
Une autre, de ma sœur :
_ Si moi je me faisais tatouer les fesses, ce serait dans la catégorie grandes pièces.
Non, ce n’était pas désert, bien au contraire, mais mes photos datent d’avant l’ouverture !
Merci à l’équipe et aux bénévoles ! L’accueil et le sourire dès le samedi matin étaient au top !
