For sunny days, the library Emilienne Leroux is adorned Rosalys colors! After my demonstration of digital illustration, we continue with a full program:

• June – july: Exhibition of comic book pages and acrylic on canvas Rosalys
• June 27: I will deliver the prizes to the participants of the comic book contest ^__^
• June 27: Signing session. My most recent books will be available, including the brand new Fraisie, la magie de la pâtisserie !

Exhibition Rosalys
June – july 2012
Library Emilienne Leroux – 21 rue Charles Roger – Nantes – France

My main website is rosalys.net, with many gallery pages and also blog posts with RSS feed.

Then I had a blog in French, this will be always the case: the subdomain with translated static pages and blog posts in French is now fr.rosalys.net and not blog.rosalys.net. See? More logical ^o^ If you follow my French feed, please update your agregator and bookmarks, thank you ^__^

Last November, Trey Radcliff put into words what I felt for a long time about something important on the web: “The Spirit of Internet-trust”. Exactly the mindset that makes me love the Internet during the past 14 years, that made me put my website under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (that also makes me love Google+).

And now, Trey writes about Pinterest and expands the topic to: “Sharing Is not the future; it’s the now”. I didn’t want get interested in Pinterest, I am already over-connected, but he know how to talk to me: I am an artist who creates in order to communicate and who has a strong belief in the goodwill of Internet users who appreciate my work sincerely. And therefore, do I want to share on a popular platform my latest creations that can be, if it’s appreciated, re-shared with the correct paternity respected? Yes! So here it is, I am on Pinterest, ah la la ^____^

I’m glad to offer a beautiful collection of mangas in a library, which is just waiting for the opportunity to make people discover this culture. I hope that the regulars will be curious, and that it will raise interest of newcomers. Do not hesitate to go there if you are in the Nantes neighbourhood and would like to borrow good reading!

For our part, we continue to share our passion through cultural events and also by creating new books! More surprises coming soon!
