THE BLOG AT THE CROSSROADS
Article: Marion Fayolle
Posted: July 2, 2013
Graduating from the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts, renowned for nurturing a remarkable number of highly individual illustrators and comics artists, Marion Fayolle co-founded the narrative image magazine Nyctalope (below), where she initially presented several of these pages.

Her choice of wordlessness seems naturally to suit the experience of dreaming, where purely visual reveries can unfold before our eyes. It also returns us to a child-like, pre-literate mental state where our only choice is to look attentively and read what we see. Read the rest of my Article and Marion’s new 2-page Strip here…
