* A foreword: May I look crazy to Those who know me well, But Every Day new readers add to this blog. My personal Circus is a real mess, and I know it! But I like it this way..So for those who don't know me, every time I am more or less forced to make introductions again to make it easier to understand things, in particular for what concerns my extra work as artist...
To start with, like last year, then, I liked the idea of a real sneak preview of part of the books envisaged for the next 2 years for the Métamorphose Collection , a collection I created 3 years ago and I manage for Soleil Publisher , in addition to being an author of a comics series.
I worked a lot in these last months to understand which direction to take and to keep it. I widened the choice in styles (as you can see), but never forgetting the main theme: metamorphosis in all its facets...
So, new artists coming for show and new signed projects.
You can have a look here below of a sequence of unpublished and unique images regarding the new projects incoming for the Collection.
Most of them will be released in 2011 , but some in 2012 .
I hope you will fall in love with them like I did...
It is a great pleasure to work with artists and colleagues at this level, I swear!
*Avant tout chose un petit mot !
I know I seem crazy poru those who know me well, but every day new players are added to this blog and my ring is a real mess ... (I know .. but I love him so!)
For those who know me so well, I am always forced to repeat the presentation to ensure understanding things, especially about my extras is to say the things I'm outside of my usual work for permission.
So to start, as I am already a year earlier, I liked the idea to present a real preview of some of the upcoming titles to appear in the next two years will be in Metamorphosis Collection . A collection I created 3 years ago and I head to Publishing Sun.
I worked hard in recent months to understand what direction to take and what course to maintain. I greatly expanded the fields of styles (as you can see), but never forget the main theme: metamorphosis in all its various facets ...
So a batch of new artists and new projects signed.
Admire below any sequence of previously unseen footage and unique new projects that are then join the collection.
Most of them released in 2011 , and some 2012.
I hope, like me, you'll quickly fall in love ...
I must say that it is a pleasure to work with artists and friends at such a level, I guarantee it!

For those who don't know it yet (it's no good, it really isn't!) you can find more info HERE .
If you still haven't bought it, the very last copies of the first edition are available at the Fnac website HERE .
Hurry up, then, because they will soon be sold out!
* Pour cette image , pas de secret!

A real gem of the collection of course, since the entire first printing sold out in less than 6 months! Like "Billy Fog" (now subscribed to this fact, eh eh ...) and "Tales Egar Allan Poe's macabre ", ECO will be reprinted very soon! So thank you all!

* A small and caused particular: The images I Have Shown You are not all part of The incoming projects for The Collection. Still missing "In The Forest " by Lionel Richerand , one project by Nenent , Two gorgeous one-shot by Tony Sandoval and Joshua Middleton , and last but not least, a huge big project (it will be a titan's work both for me and for him) by Benjamin Lacombe .
But I will talk more about this next summer.
Meanwhile the paper Catalogue of the Collection needs setting up (poor me...). So readers and book sellers will have something to keep and check from time to time...
Anf... it's tiresome to make posts like this... But I hope you will be enthusiast for the next months!
* De plus certains manquent à l'appel :
-" Dans La Fôret " de Lionel Richerand
-A new children's series produced by Nenent .
- As two beautiful one-shot: one Tony Sandoval, the other Joshua Middleton .
- And also another book, not least, an amazing and énormissime project (it will be a "Mount Everest" for Clotilde Vu, Benjamin and me), Benjamin Lacombe ...
But I'll talk very soon, during the summer ...
I should, also be carried out (poor me) catalog reference collection. Readers and
Booksellers will have something to retain and consult if needed ... Whew ... What
