“Some Breath King / Break Something”, PFC#4 residents book.
30 August 2013
If you’re familiar with PFC, perhaps you noticed that each year, we launch some crazy project-inside-the-project kind of thing : trying to make some book appears from this nice artists gathering, during the one and only very week where they’re all around.
For PFC#4, our main man Anders Nilsen, always on the run when it comes to add one more thing on his already giant-double-XXL to-do-list, decided to take care about it. Months before the beginning of the residency, he remembered that during his own PFC#3 residency in France, back in 2011, he was part of the giant process that our friends from Icinori launched while here. And he got the idea to work on his very own twist about it. (more…)

A few days with Jaime Hernandez
17 August 2013
We told you before that the great Jaime Hernandez is around for some days, from some meeting with public at MCAD (related to his awesame retrospective exhibition) and the Autoptic fest this sunday.
The man is not only something of a comic book legend, who’s still got some pretty hot skills as we can see it in his last book, but he’s also an incredible nice, generous and simple man. Far away from so many divas in the field, he spent his whole time with PFC#4 people, and was kind enough to jump into some collective exercise. Don’t have to tell you that everybody was here for this exercise !
The opening of the retrospective.
The public talk with Zak Sally (the retrospective curator) was an incredible moment…
…shared with a few people !
It’s been 30 years since Jaime Hernandez do his thing. And 30 years later, young readers and artists are still really, really hot on what he does.
Some PFC#4 24′ exercise with the Man.
More news soon !

PFC#4, D-day -2 !
11 August 2013
Today, a pretty great bunch of cartoonists from the US, Canada and Europe finally arrived at Minneapolis. It was saturday, everybody was kind of getting jetlag, so we figured out that the best to do before the rest of the residents come around tomorrow should be : just hanging around !
What we can do tell at the moment :
– some artists are so excited they actually started to work on collaborative stuff together at the airport around 5:00 in the morning ! And they even kept on doing it during the flight, which means that well, we got motivation here (and we saw/read it, and that was really good !).
– Deb’ (is it correctly spelled ? probably not) and Barbara did some of the best potato salad we ever had, while Zak did a great job with the saturday night kind-of-firt-meeting barbecue. Thanks guys, that was an impressive meal we got there !
Eleanor Davis, JC Menu, Zak Sally, Sandrine Martin, Charlotte from ChiFouMi, Pierre Ferrero.

Watch out !

Front : Sandrine Martin, Zak Sally, Barb Schulz, Eleanor Davis.
