From our Continental Correspondent – BD at ArtParis

As this year’s ArtParis comes to an end today the famous French newspaper Le Figaro has a short video report discussing the inclusion for the first time in the event’s history of comics artwork (see Wim’s earlier post on ArtParis here – Joe), including a chat with former Angoulème festival director Jean-Marc Thévenet; there is also an earlier Figaro video article on BD in the Louvre, both pieces obviously en Francais.

    Just got back from Paris about half an hour ago – we managed to catch this exhibition last night. It reminded me of London’s Frieze show, except with original Shchultz and Moebius tucked in the corner.

    Truly inspiring stuff.

    Ah, M’sieu le Baillie, that well known cosmopolitan, globetrotting artist
