From 5 till 22 september, Galerie Champaka will have an ‘Celle qui fut’ exposition. I think the lovely gallery in Bussels will show original drawings and preparatory sketches, just like the previous expo , ‘Atsuko’.

From 14 july till 10 november 2013, the Museum Rietberg in Zürich (Switzerland) will have the exposition ‘Yaks, Yetis, Yogis – Tibet in Comics’. The exposition shows how Tibet has been a major source of inspiration for comic authors: a paradisical land, its wise monks (levitating or not), the abominable snowman, the dazzling heights…

The exposition was originally held in the Rubin Museum of Art in New York (‘Hero, Villain, Yeti – Tibet in Comics’). The exposition in Zürich will have original art of Cosey. During the Night of the Museums on 7 september, Cosey will discuss with comics expert Cuno Affolter.

This is the poster for the Festival BD de Solliès-Ville.

Last year, Cosey won the prize for best album (for ‘Atsuko’) of the year during the Festival BD in Solliès-Ville. As a consequence, he will draw the poster for this year’s festival. On the Facebook-page of the Festival, they give away the poster bit by bit.

This is the image they use until the poster will be unveiled. It first appeared in the book ‘Portraits sous influence’, that was published in 2011 by Association Alien (but that I had completely missed).

In ‘Media Diffusion’ for August-September 2013, you can find a tiny preview of the cover for the new Jonathan album, both editions. The summary of the album is very promising!

200 comic authors are presented in this album published by Dupuis. In the book, an interview with Cosey and a comic (that was already published in 2009 in Sprirou 3704).

Click here to read all the comics (I found that the comics and the authors list do not work well together, but you will find it).

If you want to sleep in the athmosphere of ‘À la recherche de Peter Pan’, you can spend a night in the chalet ‘Le BD’ of ‘Alpes et caetera’ in Vercorin (Switzerland, of course).

Go to the website of Alpes Etc.

Below, you see three examples of the Jonathan 16 page, coloured by three professionals.

 
Blues and purples dominate the page coloured by Tom Tirabosco.

Beautiful baroque colour work of Roosevelt.

Cosey meets Mondriaan in the page coloured by Sébastien Rond.

This is the page that was coloured by Marco Bucher. He won the competition ‘Des Couleurs pour Cosey’. Congratulations!
