It is then that talent, taste, imagination, humor, and the touch of emotion make the difference, and this tendency will become more and more evident.

*A philosophical tale with a very original style, a mastery of expression in simplicity. It makes me think of Jean Image * ---
Collaborating with one of these animation teams: that's all I would ask for. Will it happen in my lifetime? Let's hope so...
These people know how to reach me.
And besides, in Pertuis, I will be near Montpellier
