Lemon 5ky (that’s pronounced “Sky”) is a 22 year-old Russian artist. His work, which is featured on the well-known Deviant Art website, is largely inspired by manga and fantasy in general. We were thrilled to encounter his highly stylised vision of the Little Prince. On asteroid B612, the Little Prince takes care of  his planet, while his rose is protected by a glass bell jar and surrounded by thorns. This Little Prince even has a little house of his own that we would have loved to visit…

Aficionados of fine images still remember the splendid posters and postcards once on sale at the Beaubourg Voyage par l’Image store. Applying all the same skills, publishers Editions de la Bergeronnette now offer a range of different postcards based on the world of the Little Prince.

Some of the cards feature quotes from the text, while others carry reproductions and montages of the drawings in the book. These lovely cards are an ideal way to send New Year’s greetings to those who are dear to us and sometimes far away. Please… send me a postcard.

Here are two new Little Princes from this talented young French comic strip artist.   This time we see him dressed in his finest, a picture familiar to us all, revisited by an artist with a remarkable respect for watercolour.

The drawing on the right shows a Little Prince who appears to be leaving one planet for another. He seems pensive, wondering about the grown-ups who behave in what seem to him to be such strange ways.

FedM also has his first album out on sale: Anonyman, published by Merluche Comics.

In our section on Non Profit Organisations, one of the voluntary groups we feature is Le Petit Monde. The group, based in Lyon, has been active since 1997 and one of its activities is providing accommodation for the parents of sick children. The Maison du Petit Monde “house” consists of 47 self-contained flats where parents can stay to be close to their child in hospital.

If you live in the Lyon region and have some time to spare, you could become one of the volunteers who welcome families on their arrival at the Maison du Petit Monde. Your “duties” would involve showing parents around their temporary accommodation, providing them with information and generally providing back-up during their stay.

For further details, please visit the Le Petit Monde website.

Don’t forget the “Small Prices” section, stocked with articles priced at a maximum of 2 euros.
