Aster of Pan page 113

So recently got to know and chat with a French collector who turned me on to the works of Merwan and his book Mécanique Céleste. I enjoyed the art enough that I picked the book up on Kindle, got through it in French and then found there was a Kickstarter to translate/publish the book in English (available on Amazon Feb 1, 2021)

After digesting the material in it's original French I had to have a page! I reached out to the artist and we chatted about the book, watercolor and if he'd be willing to sell me some original artwork.

Alizče, from Huberty & Breyne was a gem to deal with and Merwan made my day by allowing me to buy the pages I really wanted!

I'm always drawn to examples of great sequential storytelling and this page hits the mark! Almost no dialogue, an action packed page, and the sequence of events told with such economy! And the watercolors! So vibrant so beautiful!

To me, his work reminds me of Bill Watterson's Sunday, color, strips and I find similarities in the way they both approach certain things like trees and snow.
