Sur le vif #1

A collaborative sketchbook project with real energy behind it, Sur le vif #1 gathers ten authors from Angoulême for a raw, on-the-spot creative exercise. The cover itself sets the tone beautifully — dense, gestural black mark-making fills the page like a notebook worked over with restless, searching lines, framed by the bold red-and-white title block. Published by Comme une orange in 2017, this is the kind of intimate anthology that reminds you how exciting comics can be when artists draw freely, without pretense.
