EBook Boulet's notessimo Boulet s Notes comics are full of delightful observational humour and that usual autobio comics thing of a romanticised version of the artist s life And importantly he s an incredible artist so there are frequent gorgeous flights of fancy I have all the volumes in French but it s a bit of a slog to try and read them that waySo now they better follow through with the rest in English Hardcover I ve seen excerpts of Serbian edition of Boulet s comics greatest hits and it seemed to be something I would like to read So when I got the chance to read this collection volume one I guess I embraced the opportunity. Boulet's notes science fiction fantasy novels Boulet to this day draws these vignettes for his blog Since the rule is to draw without sketches and pencils the art changes from situation to situation But I liked it since it s fairly interesting to have someone s diary in a way layed out in front of you as interesting comic pages Stories are short but sometimes connected There are recurring jokes and characters Boulet s friends Even when you re thrown inside of his life abruptly it s okay it is easy to connect the dots. Book Boulet's notessimo To be as meta as possible those vignettes are sometimes connected with his dialogue with a friend in present time Boulet that way gives a commentary on his early works his intentions and his hopes that it will resonate with today s audience He is a really strong character and sometimes he can make himself unlovable But it is important to be said that it s his perception of himself In real life maybe it s better or maybe it s worse What we get is real life adventures in artistic form with all the self censoring that goes with it So when the author gives you TMI it is always intentional even if it doesn t look that way. Boulet's notespire I would recommend this collection to every fan of web comics to fans of autobiographies to art lovers and comic book aficionados I let it be a slow burn for myself I read it slowly and savored it It could be a book you ll come back to for inspiration It creates that feeling of if he can do it maybe I can In terms of creativity this could be that one push for you as much it was for me. Boulet's notesy firmowe I d really like to thank NetGalley for a copy of this wonderful book Reading this was a very nice experience Hardcover Dare I say I think that this is the best drawing I ve ever seen by a cartoonist Thanks NetGalley for this ARC I can t wait to get this one in print when it s published in July because it s a master class in the art I was unfamiliar with Boulet before this Apparently he s a well respected French webcomic artist whose work has also been translated into English although when i searched for it online I got 404s Anyway can t wait til July Great stuff Hardcover I know I m prejudiced because this is my sense of humor but I absolutely loved this It s a comic but it felt like a collection of day in the life stories and I identified with almost everything I laughed out loud several times and felt a little second hand embarrassment when I identified too much I think my favorite story was about how much trouble Boulet had getting train tickets I had similar problems in France and I swear they did it to me on purpose I m definitely going to go back and read this again and I m sure I will find to enjoy Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this Hardcover This graphic novel is a collection of sketches from the artist Boulet jotting down passing thoughts experiences and everyday moments of his life It s a genuine look into a French illustrator s life bitter sweet with some fun punchlines and a fair dose of nostalgia I had a good laugh seeing the references to Craig Thompson as the intellectual aspiration of graphic novelists It s so tough to always being compared and it s a rather steep dichotomy to be sandwiched between Thompson and Zep I hadn t known about the webcomic before so I can t compare to the online version but there is a nice continuity in this volume which was remastered and given a conductive thread with new strips drawn up to join it all together I had expected something disjointed like a diary of passing thoughts but this is like going to a comedy show sure there are some quick punchlines but there is a really good use of recurring themes and reminders and world building into a satisfying volume The thoughts on the condition of being an artist are obviously central to this work and the interview at the end is a very nice touch.
