Artistic recreation with Booder

I attended Booder's new show at the Théâtre Jean-Alary in Carcassonne. At the end of the show, after the traditional “class photo“ with all the children, Booder noticed my painting lying at my feet. When I asked him if he could sign it, he told me it was magnificent and asked me to give it to him so he could show it to the whole audience. He then held it up in front of the audience… and I heard « wows », applause, and reactions of surprise throughout the theater. A true moment of artistic innovation, spontaneously shared with the audience. Looking at the painting with humor, he even joked, « My nose is too small! » A funny, authentic, and memorable moment—a true masterclass in good humor, courtesy of Booder.

A day of San Valentine... Edition Thriller

While some were celebrating Valentine's Day, I had a date... with a thrill. I headed to the E.Leclerc Cultural Center in Carcassonne to meet Nicolas Nutten at his book signing. A fan of his work, I recently added "Terra Mater" and "The Gospel of Shadows" to my collection. An award-winning and critically acclaimed author, he has established himself as a leading figure in contemporary thrillers. In my eyes, he is simply the master of the genre. On this occasion, I presented him with a painting I had created of him. His reaction? Genuine surprise, almost astonishment... before he honored me by signing the artwork. A beautiful exchange between two art forms, a symbol of the meeting of ink and brush.

Edgar-Yves Jr. at the 3T: A Powerful and Unexpected Moment

GENTLEMEN! WE'RE LACKING VIGILANCE! BE VIGILANT... COLLECTIVE PLANK! WHOA! After a moment of pure comedy at his show "En Rodage" at the Les 3T café-theater in Toulouse (31), we had the chance to meet him. I was then able to show him the portrait I painted of him: he was surprised, visibly touched, and signed the painting with a big smile before we took a photo together. A truly wonderful moment of sharing! In short, the evening was a success, we weren't lacking in vigilance!

An encounter with the inspirational figure Angélique Panchéri

When Art Meets Talent! After a delicious meal at Le Jardin restaurant in Toulouse (31), it was an honor to present this artwork to an actress as hilarious as she is inspiring, whom we greatly admire. I'm referring to Ms. Angélique Panchéri! It's moments like these that give our work its true meaning. Thank you for this wonderful exchange and this great moment of sharing!

A Special Moment with Philippe Corti

On Friday, August 29, 2025, the renowned DJ and actor Philippe Corti, accompanied by his friend and fellow DJ Christian Savonne, set the Carcassonne City Wine Bar ablaze for the second night of the feria.

At the start of the festivities, they invited me on stage, and Philippe Corti was pleasantly surprised to see the portrait I presented to him.

Touched by the gesture, he signed it with his name, "Corti," adding a dedication to the Roma people, to show his deep affection for Roma music, so dear to his heart.

Birth of the idea

That day, everything became clear. We were still on the phone (as we often were), talking about our projects, our desires, what we wanted to build. And the more we talked, the more obvious it became: we each had our strengths, perfectly complementary. One the artist, the other the builder. Then the phrase came, simple, raw, powerful: "What are we waiting for to get started?!" A silence, a click, a spark. That's the day our idea was born. Not in an office, not around a table: in a genuine, almost ordinary exchange that sparked everything. This Thursday, July 3, 2025, marked the starting point of our adventure.
