It seems that every five to six years, I find myself making big changes to my blogs and such. It’s happening again. In the coming weeks, Liminal Web will “close.” It’s not actually going offline anytime soon, but I won’t be adding new content to it for the time being. I may revive it in… Read More »Moving… again… The post Moving… again… appeared first on liminal web.

The post Introducing Liminal Web’s New Critics? appeared first on liminal web.

I’m currently in France. I’ve been here for almost a week, and the heat wave has kept me inside my parents’ house for… about a week. Luckily, they installed air conditioning a while ago. I had grand plans to blog or journal about my trip to France this summer. However, it turns out that it’s… Read More »Fruits & Vegetables in France The post Fruits & Vegetables in France appeared first on liminal web.

I like it a bit less than yesterday’s drawing. For some reason, I’d like to draw with color more (abstract or not) but every time I use some color, I’m not too happy with the result. I guess the more I’ll do it, the better I’ll get, just like with the rest. The post Abstract (August 1st, 2025) appeared first on liminal web.

This is probably the best portrait of Mr. Crow I have taken so far, so I couldn’t not share it with you. The post Mr. Crow appeared first on liminal web.

I may have mentioned it before, but I find it fascinating how postcards were used at the time as “news.” Well, not exactly news but as visual historical documents. It totally makes sense when you think about it, not even newspapers had pictures at the time. Today, the street is still a residential street with… Read More »Amiens in 1918 The post Amiens in 1918 appeared first on liminal web.

Don’t eat too many chocolate eggs and… … and make sure they’re chocolate eggs and not something else before you open them. The post Happy Easter appeared first on liminal web.

Ten years is a long time. Luckily, my daughter is turning 13 this week, so this is over, right? It’ll all be smooth sailing from now on, right? Right? The post The Terrible Two… elve… appeared first on liminal web.

Today, a new memory from a new century: Here’s what the text says. It’s not impossible that I’ve made mistakes, Amélie’s handwriting is often difficult to decypher and her bad grammar doesn’t help. Dear Mr. Adrien, I am in good health. I hope this card finds you and Mr and Mrs B… Read More »What are we to make of a confession that dares not speak?

I’m often critical of the Japanese authorities (and rightly so), so I must also underline when they do the right thing. And for once, they are. Japan is officially dropping the Kunrei-shiki way of transcribing their language into the Roman alphabet in order to officially adopt the Hepburn system. Let me explain if you’re not… Read More »Hepburn for the win! The post Hepburn for the win! appeared first on liminal web.

I won’t lie. I don’t really know much about the village of Vers in the Lot department, except that it’s an amazingly cute village in between Cahors and St-Cirq-Lapopie, near the Pech Merle prehistorical cave. Just another example that shows you why I think this area… Read More »Vers in the Lot The post Vers in the Lot appeared first on liminal web.

It’s a bit early, but this is the kind of information that’s better early than late. If you’re in Paris, don’t forget to go see the Sunset right on the axis of the Arc de Triomphe, on May 10th (or around May 10th). If you miss it, no worries, it’ll do it again sometime… Read More »Sunset in the Arc de Triomphe The post Sunset in the Arc de Triomphe appeared first on liminal web.

Hey. Here is a new episode of my PlaymoStories. I know, they come at a very slow rate, but I do my best. These things take time. Especially because I’m really improvising the whole story and write it as I go. I have no “master plan” just silly ideas. Actually, if you have some yourself,… Read More »Doc Brown and Marty The post Doc Brown and Marty appeared first on liminal web.

It’s interesting to note that the caption of the postcard is bilingual, something quite unusual for the time. I assume that it was published during the war or right after and there were still quite a few Anglophone troops in the area, writing home. Amiens, July 31, 1919 My dear Adrien, I received… Read More »Amiens – Front View of the Cathedral The post Amiens – Front View of the Cathedral appeared first on liminal web.

Just a very quick note today, to tell you that if this is something you care about, I recently finished writing my first short story in years (or at least my first complete text, with a beginning, a middle and an end) and if you want to read it, just click on the logo below.… Read More »Is There Life On Mars?

So, we’re in October, which means that Inktober has started. I don’t know how many drawings I’ll be able to do this year. Probably not that many (as the list is published early September, I usually draw most in September, but I’ve only drawn five so far.) However, I’ll publish them here, just like every… Read More »Inktober 2024 – Backpack The post Inktober 2024 – Backpack appeared first on liminal web.

Author’s note: Yes, I know, I’m going to slowly with this, and the quality is probably much lower than most of what I post here. Oh well, the whole point of this blog is to have fun and to try new things, feel free to ignore the parts you have no interest in, and enjoy… Read More »After the Whoosh (PlaymoStories – part five) The post After the Whoosh (PlaymoStories – part five) appeared first on liminal web.

You’re probably not familiar with Cauterets. It’s a small town in the Hautes-Pyrénées department of France, most famous for its ski resort. I used to go there from time to time as a child. I don’t remember much about it other than the fact that to get to the slopes from the town, you… Read More »Cauterets – Grand England Hotel and the Boulevard The post Cauterets – Grand England Hotel and the Boulevard appeared first on liminal web.
