Les Pieds dans le Béton

Mikaël Ross brings a warm, observational eye to this French comic series from Éditions Sarbacane, launched in 2013. Les Pieds dans le Béton follows the quiet, everyday lives of children growing up in a housing project, capturing small moments of resilience and play against a backdrop of urban concrete. Ross’s gentle, expressive art grounds the series in a specific time and place, making it a tender snapshot of childhood in modern France.
