As we're still in january...

I draw my Finn god son's portrait

and wish you again happy new year

(in Finnish !)
I also share with you my joy to see this display (Hotel Kafka - Madrid) dedicated to my Spanish publisher Demipage,

and my book as a painting's detail,

an harmonious color in this composition.

And winter in Madrid. Some are still hot !

Happy new year !

31th of Decembre, 4 h 55 pm :

I call my brother who lives in Canton, China.

Ignoring it's almost midnight over there !

Ignoring there is no celebration going on over there.

As Madrid is empty,

as we feel the houses bursting,

people preparing themselves frenetically,

I feel the other side of the phone so quiet and silent...

New year will come later,

it will bring holidays ;

my brother will stroll around

and take magic pictures,

I will ask him to post some here...

This drawing is a clin d'oeil to my brother,

who, unfortunately, won't be able to see it :

he lives in China,

blogger is censured...
