Last thursday, I went to a job interview as they were looking for a "visual art teacher" in college.
It was not the first time I applied for this kind of job in Hong Kong, so I diden't worried.
When I arrived, I felt ready and decided to ask for more money.
(30 minutes in the waiting room break my enthusiasm)
Finally, someone came to get me.
...mister..."charmes"
Thank you for coming, so as you already know we are looking for a candidate for the job of "headmaster" of the Artistic Department of all the University's Campus. So, we'll let you introduce yourself and then we will all ask you a few questions...
Headmaster?
-well-shaved cheeks (look very young)
-Cannibal Corpse T-Shirt sticking out from the shirt
-Old geek pant
...and?
and? Well, I answered their questions, they answered mines, and it was done.
You know, this "headmaster job", it's 10% sketching classes and 90% of administrative work. Not really the kind of student's relationship that you like.
Hmm... yeah, I guess so.
I also think it's time for me to stop wearing my lucky shirt for job interviewes...

I've been tagged a few times (more recently by MickeyJoe, and Zythom, asking me to tell stuff about me. I've played this game before, but this time, I'd like to change the rules (artist's mind, you know...)

So I take 2 bloggers, on the links the right part of this blog and I sketch them as I imagine them; both of them are french, I never saw their faces
EOLAS (lawyer/attorney, I never know the difference)
and Zythom (judiciary computer specialist expert)

en français:
Cela fait un moment que je me fais joyeusement tagguer, tout dernièrement par MickeyJoe, par Zythom, par plein de monde, m'enjoignant de tout révéler de ma vie intime et pas intéressante du tout.
Je me suis essayé à cette pratique onaniste il y a quelques temps, ce coup-ci, je relance de deux pots de miel:

Hop, je prends 2 bloggueurs en liens ici à droite et je me (vous) les représente, sans n'avoir jamais vu leur visage:

EOLAS, Instantanés de la justice et du droit


et Zythom, Informaticien expert judiciaire


hop aux suivants-avec ou sans coup de crayon-je taggue sans aucune décence Auré, Pif, et Fab', qu'ils agonisent dans d'atroces souffrances dans l'indifférence générale de ce monde où les autres gagnent plus-pourtant-je-comprends-pas-ce-que-je-fais-mal s'ils ne relèvent pas le défi.

To be continued...to part4.

english translation:
Allright, let's go.
I should defragment the Hard Disk more often...

To be continued...to part2.

english translation:

"Lakota Sioux Indians Declare Sovereign Nation Status

(Independent Media Center) -- (...)Lakota Sioux Indian representatives declared sovereign nation status on Wednesday, December 19th in Washington D.C. following Monday’s withdrawal from all previously signed treaties with the United States Government. The withdrawal, hand delivered to Daniel Turner, Deputy Director of Public Liaison at the State Department, immediately and irrevocably ends all agreements between the Lakota Sioux Nation of Indians and the United States Government outlined in the 1851 and 1868 Treaties at Fort Laramie, Wyoming.

“This is an historic day for our Lakota people,” declared Russell Means, Itacan of Lakota. “United States colonial rule is at its end!”
“Today is a historic day and our forefathers speak through us. Our Forefathers made the treaties in good faith with the sacred Canupa and with the knowledge of the Great Spirit,” shared Garry Rowland from Wounded Knee. “They never honored the treaties, that’s the reason we are here today.”

The four member Lakota delegation traveled to Washington D.C. culminating years of internal discussion among treaty representatives of the various Lakota communities. Delegation members included well known activist and actor Russell Means, Women of All Red Nations (WARN) founder Phyllis Young, Oglala Lakota Strong Heart Society leader Duane Martin Sr., and Garry Rowland, Leader Chief Big Foot Riders. Means, Rowland, Martin Sr. were all members of the 1973 Wounded Knee takeover.

Property ownership in the five state area of Lakota now takes center stage. Parts of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana have been illegally homesteaded for years despite knowledge of Lakota as predecessor sovereign [historic owner]. Lakota representatives say if the United States does not enter into immediate diplomatic negotiations, liens will be filed on real estate transactions in the five state region, clouding title over literally thousands of square miles of land and property.

Following Monday’s withdrawal at the State Department, the four Lakota Itacan representatives have been meeting with foreign embassy officials in order to hasten their official return to the Family of Nations.

The Lakota reservations are among the most impoverished areas in North America, a shameful legacy of broken treaties and apartheid policies. Lakota has the highest death rate in the United States and Lakota men have the lowest life expectancy of any nation on earth, excluding AIDS, at approximately 44 years. Lakota infant mortality rate is five times the United States average and teen suicide rates 150% more than national average . 97% of Lakota people live below the poverty line and unemployment hovers near 85%(...)"

Finally! It happens! The Awakening of the first tribes of the Earth! My brother's long march!
Nothing could muzzle the wisdom of Native Americans anymore!
Soon, many will join our cause.
Yet the Lakotas, and then, the World! Together, to victory!

...t-too cold... g-get there t-tomorrow...

I'm still on my moron-mood, the most futile makes me angry. I'm really in a bad mood. The 2 women of my life has to pay the price of my attitude. Fortunately, one of them knows how to pretend not to understand me, the other one is bouddhist.
"what the? Where is my black pencil brush?"
"She...? But it smells..? She peed on my tax return..?"

At the same time, I read "Caravan" from Sfar, an astonishing paper-blog/diary.
"fuck!"
"fuck!"
"Say, kwailo, wasen't it YOUR turn to wash the dishes?"
("fuck")

Finally, I end drinkin' in a pub, complaining about myself and "redoing" the world
"See... I'm missssing a friend to t-talk about comics to... a sketching f-friend... Hips!"
"But in Hong Kong, there's NOTHING!"
"I'm just a f-fuckin' lonely Ass!"

Before I get completely drunk, I try to sketch the musicians, jamming on old blues/rock themes.
They told me they work in an ambassy in Barcelona, and went in Asia for vacations. I spend the night with them.

(He looks even more depressed as I am)

I sketch, I don't think anymore. I empty my head and my glass as well. I observe and re-create the universe in my sketchbook. I am God, do not mess with me.
I become misanthrope, and want to smoke.
Finally, the spectator's faces fascinate me. I drip my brush in my Guinness glass for the wash tint; the bartender laught and suggest a glass of Bayleys for drawing the shadows.

The last discussion, Tim tell us he spent 70 days in jail in South-Est Asia for drug dealing. We look at him just like he survived Midnight Express. He has such a strong accent, I can only understand 1 word on 20...

I finally go home at 1:00 AM, I diden't hear Waiyim's phone calls, she was about to ask the cops.
I really feel a moron.
