Spring is a-coming and it is time to look ahead to shedding layers and changing footwear. The 2013  Easter break to the Gard is almost upon us and I for one am hoping it will be warm enough to paint my toenails and get my feet out for the first time this year. In the meantime, the new Adieu collection has appeared and I will be eyeing up this little lot for the next while.

Thank you to he who forwarded this on. It could almost have been written for me.

Leafing through the latest copy of Les Inrockuptibles, dedicated to the 40th Festivale d’Angoulême, I came across Quebec illustrator, Pascale Blanchet. Take a look; I reckon his stuff is cracking. Nice blog here, too.
