Carnet de Voyage

In 2004, on the back of the international success of Blankets, Craig Thompson set out on a tour across Europe and Morocco, promoting foreign editions of his book and researching his next project.

Carnet de Voyage is the gorgeous sketchbook diary of these travels. From wandering around Paris and Barcelona between events, to navigating markets in Fez and fleeing tourist traps in Marrakesh, we see glimpses of each place, rendered in Thompson's exquisite ink line.

While desert landscapes and crowded street scenes flow, the sketchbook is packed first and foremost with people - other travelers passing through, friends and lovers he meets along the way and old friends and other cartoonists that weave in and out of Thompson's life.

Carnet de Voyage is a casual yet intimate portrait of a celebrated cartoonist at a moment between his two seminal works - Blankets and Habibi.

In 2004, dupa succesul international al paturilor, Craig Thompson a plecat intr-un turneu in Europa si Maroc, promovand editii straine ale cartii sale si cercetand urmatorul sau proiect. Carnet de Voyage este superbul jurnal de schite al acestor calatorii. De la ratacirea prin Paris si Barcelona intre evenimente, pana la navigarea pe pietele din Fez si fugirea capcanelor turistice din Marrakesh, vedem bucati de fiecare loc, redate in linia de cerneala rafinata a lui Thompson. In timp ce curg peisaje din desert si scene de strada aglomerate, in primul rand cu oamenii - alti calatori care trec, prieteni si indragostiti pe care ii intalneste de-a lungul drumului si vechi prieteni si alti desene animate care tes in si din viata lui Thompson. doua lucrari seminale - Paturi si Habibi.
