In the skin of Astrid you can read here
, I had to work on a new book, How long
. If the first was rather "light", it treats cancer poignantly. Indeed, is a woman who recounts her mother's cancer.
This is not an obvious subject to tackle, or otherwise deal with, here is the back cover:
"In truth, when all this crap started, I thought of writing something to tell from day to day what would happen.
But I was so sure everything would be fine I did not bother to take a pen. I was so sure there would be nothing to tell, so sure I would have barely begun to write, everything would be resolved. And therefore nothing to say what whatsoever.
But today, I think it's time to tell it all. To hold, to support, to relieve me. Because I'm not at all sure that all will end well. I'm not allowed to say, and I keep on thinking. But the little voice, nagging back and is there constantly to tell me that maybe nothing will end well.
Then I'll write, without knowing in advance the outcome of this book. I'm at the same point that you who read this. I do not know how it all will end. We are now
January 16, 2009. In August 2008, after 2 long months of tests, my mother learned she had lung cancer.

Initially, the idea for this coverage was to make something hand-drawn, while keeping the idea of passing time, with something like an hourglass or a clock. He then came to me a first impression. In order to match the idea of passing time and still set the context of history, I realized the following coverage, which I hope, speaks for itself!
Unfortunately this track was deemed too "medical" too much "comic" is treated as a real witness. This is unfortunate given that this is my favorite!
In a completely different note, I thought playing with typography by taking the curves of an electroencephalogram. This coverage is already very much in the suggestion of the atmosphere of the book.
I admit I made this proposal more to the idea, I do not think it really accomplished. But ultimately it's not so bad because she seduced the author of this book! She already had a visual basic with a dandelion, whose seeds fly way dictionary, the typo of my proposal will be used for the title of the book. I unfortunately do not have rights to this video, you can not see that, once released!
Meanwhile, a collaboration once more interestingly, the next episode! Do not hesitate to give your opinions on previous proposals, the more you notice, most interesting!
