California Dreamin'

Pénélope Bagieu’s California Dreamin’ (2020–present, Reprodukt) is a standalone graphic novel that captures the restless energy of 1960s California through the eyes of a young woman chasing freedom and identity. Bagieu’s warm, expressive artwork brings to life the era’s counterculture, music, and shifting social tides, blending personal discovery with a broader portrait of a generation. This single-issue work stands as a vivid, character-driven snapshot of a transformative moment in American history.
