From France

This spring is quite cloudy, misty and it keeps on raining.


I can't help walking outside as often as i can still as i'm far quite too busy to do it everyday. I've seen many people running two in the morning in the vine cultures, and they are so right as it is alway so marvellous in the early morning. It's quite cool that the castle picque caillou let people run through their property. It's raining a lot those last days and it's a good thing as pollen are very agressives and it has covered up the whole south with a yellowish skin.




Since monday we are mostly selling ffp2 mask and tamiflu 75mg, and also nailner some tv advertising for foot's nails ! it's really ridiculous ! Hope this piggy flue will pass on quickly. In france as we are used to, of course the flue hasn't been detected in here, which is quite strange as spain and Uk have some case... But just like for Tchernobil the clouds have certainly been flying around us, and we all have to suppose the clouds did'nt cross the borders...

Our President and his wife are still living in an other world, and french radios only talk about the carla bruni sarkosy dress, what else could we talk about ? Not about some sad way of life when you only can see old buildings everyday after work when you have some.
Here is a picture from Pessac.



Our actual small flat is getting bigger since we've started to pack some things and we'll have to live with box for one or two month until we get the new keys ! The next flat we have choseen is like a huge lego we have to build up. I used to thnik i would only be able to live in a house, but i believe we are only getting some shell for the time we are spending in this world. According to this point of view i can easily see the futur within a flat, simply. French people are trying to shelter themselves within their homes they said in tv reports. This flue is sadly an other thing which will not stimulate people to discover new people.


There is a surprising new book in France recently : Histoire de la nuit written by Alain Cabantous , it's dealing about what's happening in the night and in the european society and way of life. It's very interresting ^^

I'm still trying to find some time to finish my dogg and also my english text for my friend but it seems time is slipping away as some sand.

Lesson from the tiger masters !

Sometimes we need to see things in other points of view. I would have never expected the left resting tiger female to turn round that way for an attack respons !!

According to this other video i understand better now what does my real Kung fu and Taichi chuan master says when he talks about the nape of the neck, and what he means about calling up energy !! what a strenghth !!! I'll never watch a tiger in the same way now !

Translation : need your help !

I'm trying to translate my french text for my friend's New york exhibition. Would someone have some extra time and be kind enough to read it when i'm finished and find out what i need to change in order to get an acceptable thing ?


Here is a part of the french version one ^^ The english version is still WIP !! it's soo difficult to translate what i'm writing, i feel like dealing with a chinese logical game , we call that casse-tête in french meaning it's breaking your head and giving you a big headache ! ^^


I came to see my friend
Aveuglée par un monde embrasé de consommations, je suis venue voir l’exposition de mon ami Armel Promeneur.
Dans notre mémoire, des flots d’objets fusionnent : le monde urbain, humain se déverse. Rien n’a vraiment changé depuis la naissance du pop art ou des nouveaux réalistes. En plus des objets, tels à une communauté de micros araignées nous tissons le monde d’images et de concepts. Les publicités règnent sur les routes et les murs que nous bâtissons, sur nos écrans, nos vêtements, nos idées de vie et de liberté. Du pixel jusqu’au gigantesque panneau impromptu, notre inconscient collectif se répand mondialement. Chaque espace jalonne nos désirs et nos besoins divers, parfois improbables. Tout est filmé, filmable, visible, à voir ou à monnayer. Les images virevoltent autour de nous et voici que celles d’Armel entrent dans la danse.

Down on my knees

Sometimes i'm wondering why i keep on painting about things people don't care. I wonder why painting things which does look like what we know should be 'has been'. Anyway, what i'm painting is about a fantasy world and anyway, i don't feel good in this world when i'm not painting. I feel unfinished. I am not feeling myself. But i need to work to earn money, and i need to see people to buy the flat. If i could i would only be painting the whole day and night. I mostly do it on the floor, as i don't own much place. I'm already thinking about the next real painting one and i believe it will be about a bird.

We have chosen a nice flat. We can't afford a house in here. Bordeaux tries to be like a little Paris. I will get a craft room, which is very cool, but i can't believe we need so much energy in order to sign only papers, and it's still not signed until the end of April.

30 years of the Kung fu school are up in the end of May, and teachers are effervescent.
I've learned at last all the movements i need for the first level. Posture, Tao, sequence, blocking. Now i need to practice it.

Nature is better painter than me ^^

And here a good news: we 've found our futur nest, we only need to sign the papers with the bank office and stop shaking our knees ^^
