    The Sama Online Show 2009 is a success!

    Posted on Oct 31, 2009

    Thanks to all of you who watched my online show yesterday! We have sent many invitations (registered, regulars, on request, newcomers…) and almost everyone could make it and connected to the server. The live feed went fine and I appreciate the many questions you asked me. Most of them were very specific and made me realized there are some experts concerning my work. This online show was a great experience for me and I suppose it was for you too, from the many emails I received. In the coming days, the necklace that was shown during the show will be on sale on my Official Website and one of the artwork from the Sama in the Sky New Series will be published on The World of Sama Art Website; the artwork was the one most voted by you during the show. As for the necklace, it is a very limited edition… READ MORE




    Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough?

    Posted on Oct 19, 2009

    The plights in Darfur, Congo and Burma are different on many aspects but the initiatives launched by organizations (human rights, humanitarian, etc) all have the same goal: help the people living in danger and provide them assistance when needed. As you may already know, I truly think Tall oaks from little acorns grow, nevertheless I am not naive and I know the hard work and the perseverance of people of good will offer a glimmer of hope, although the changes take at least years, decades or even centuries to be seen. On the other hand, like I said in Darfur: a World Wide Role Playing Game, willing to do the good is not always paying. It seems like without having to spell things out, activists, aid workers and volunteers are sometimes overtaken by the events and they hardly hide their growing weariness and tiredness for the situation behind their facade of… READ MORE




    Upcoming 2009 Show: Welcome to the Sama Zone!

    Posted on Oct 14, 2009

    I told you you would get information about my next show pretty soon and every reader of this Blog should have received an invitation for the event by now. So, as some of you already know, my upcoming show won’t take place anywhere, it will be an online show. This is not the first time I make a ‘virtual show’, I did it more than a decade ago and I know some you were already following me at this time (time is passing so quickly, isn’t it?). Fifteen years later, the technology has evolved and it won’t be an online show like it was the first times. The invitation already tells a lot: you will have to use a phone to see it. For my last show, some of you came from the United States, Australia, Norway, Spain and other countries just to see my one-night show in Paris. That was amazing… READ MORE
