d i m a n c h e ,

Hope you are having a nice weekend, here in Berlin we are in for a long one (tomorrow is a national holiday)! Thank you so much for all the mails & comments answering to my swapping proposal. I'm having a hard time choosing only two of you (even though you can still make an offer until Wednesday).

Since Bonjour Supermarket opened a postcard print (350g) of the photograph I took of my hand-painted pots is available for purchase and I'm so glad many of you liked it (thank you for your support)! Yesterday I counted my stock and only two cards are still available. If you would love to caught one for 2 Euros it's >>> here.

Coloring zine: Dessine moi un copain,

Last October I printed my first zine, which was in fact a coloring zine named Dessine moi un Copain, a few copies went to a store in Malaysia, the others were sold in the small e-shop I had at that time. I though all the copies were sold or at Pipit in Malaysia, but actually today I noticed that a few copies are still left! Those copies are now ready to be purchased in Bonjour Supermarket, hope you are excited about it!

++ Lovely persons who own this zine & posted about it: Polkaros (Tokyo), Kado Hiromi (Tokyo), Sewon (NY),  Beebee (USA), thank you so much for your words & photographs.

Ready for a swap?!

You already know I love zines/ magazines/ books..., but was I also really like is swapping! So I got this little idea, would two of my readers like to receive a copy of my zine Colletion #1 + a postcard of their choice from the Supermarket? If you do please write me what you would like to send me (it can be everything!) to get my zine + card. I'm already excited to read your mails!

Analog Memory: 餅

Eating mochi with K. a Monday afternoon of April while watching photographs by Kotori Kawashima. I'm dreamy for five seconds in front of those photographs while I'm having some busy days & weeks, sorry for late mail replying. Really looking forward to my two weeks in France in June... Will you have a summer break too? If yes where will you go?


+ 500 = a giveaway!
++ If you are in Japan a dress & a bag made out of fabrics I designed are featured in the Japanese paper Glitter!

Today is a holiday, a day which is going too quickly even just by working! I was a little angry about that & played around on Photoshop with photographs and drawings to calm me... What are you up to?


+ I designed the pattern for those bags in France during my Spring holidays 2011, sew them on request & the fabric is produced locally here in Berlin! It's poplin, which is partly made out of silk. You can see more photographs here & purchase the bag on Bonjour Supermarket.

Movie: The Radiant Child

When I was a teenager one of my best friend handed me a book about Basquiat in the library, a few months later I had read all I could found about him in the small town I was living. It's not only the work I had interest for, but the artist himself.

Later in 2010, there was this great retrospective of Basquiat's work at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel (Switzerland) followed by the one in Paris, so most of you might already know The Radiant Child, the movie I introduce in this post.


The Radiant Child is a documentary by Basquiat's friend Tamra Davis, made of footage & interviews of persons in the artist's entourage. People like Julian Schnabel, Tony Shafrazi and Bruno Bischofberger among many others. Shoot in the 80s the movie was assembled and first presented as a 20 minutes film in 2006 at the Sundance Film Festival before finally being a 130 minutes length documentary in 2010.
