    Latest comment by Yull : "I've got your mail, thank you :P " | READ MORE »

    One year from now, same day and almost same time, I was launching this blog. Like I said in my first post, I’m not very comfortable talking about me, my personal life… But I really enjoy talking about my work, my projects, my thoughts, my sources of inspiration. And I did in near 50 posts since April last year. Waow! I impress myself, I never thought I could write so many posts (although I’m surely not the most productive on the Web, I can easily concede that). But most of all, I want to thank you all for your interest and your curiosity about my work. Almost 840 comments, more than 120 registered users and many regulars (not to mention the one time only misleaded visitors) stopping by this blog everyday and coming from the four corners of the earth. I hope you’ll keep reading my posts and enjoy this place for what it is: a small part of the World Of Sama, sparingly shared, and kinda hidden amidst an always expanding world wide web nebula.

    Enought for the speech, let’s get down to serious talks. To mark this first anniversary, some of you suggested I could answer questions you’re supposed to be dying to ask me (sic). So for once let’s do it, you can send your question(s) using the form on this page. Even if I’ll read them all, I can not guarantee I’ll answer to every single one of them but I’ll do my best. I’ll publish the answers in a post next week, so let’s get carried away! ^_^

    Hey Max, I just sent you a question, I’m curious to read your answer :)

    I may not comment often, but I always read and enjoy your posts. I wish you all the best.

    Yeepee, you will answer any question? Even the personal ones? Because I have many to ask :P It’s great to read your posts and to know more about your work. It’s not that usual an artist shares so much and I’m glad you do. I must say I was surprised when you launched this blog because what I know from you is that you really don’t like to talk about yourself but this blog is exactly what you are. You’re committed, inspired and you like to share. So thank you for giving us the opportinity to know more about your work, and also about you ;)

    Happy anniversary from Russia. It’s good to read you and I hope maybe I will be able to see one of your exhibition and appreciate your drawing in front of me.

    Blog’s birthday is a good occasion to post my first comment. I’m an artist myself (former singer and now a sculptor) and your blog is a true inspiration. I have so many questions to ask you I hope you’ll answer at least one of them.

    Looking forward to many more birthdays on this blog ;)

    Thomas says: April 18th, 2008 at 01:10 am

    Happy blog birthday too! :)

    I’ve been a long time reader before I post my first comment, back in november 2007 if I remember well. I read many interesting posts, about many different topics : your work, about funny things and deep thoughts about serious topics. Like the others already said and I agree with Arnold, maybe you don’t talk about your personal and private life but this blog kind of tell us a lot about you and that’s great for those who like your work and everything you do. You’re one of our best artist, I really mean it.

    I just sent my question, in fact there are 3, one more personal than the others. I hope you’ll pick one of mine (remember when Joe Carnahan picked my question on his blog but in fact I took it from one of your post? This time the questions I asked came all from me) ;)

    Longue vie à ce blog et à cette fabuleuse artiste ^^^

    Well, my english is still not very good, so sorry in advance for the faults. I can’t thank enough Vanessa for telling me about your exhibition last year. So I was invited and I discover your work at your exhibition. It was so amazing I still think of it today :)

    Like Thomas I’m very proud as a french people that you’re such a great artist. Excuse my bad english, donc je vais finir comme Arnold en français pour vous dire que j’espère que votre succès continuera encore longtemps parce que vous le méritez vraiment !

    ¡Hola Max! ¡Muy feliz cumpleaños por tu blog! :)

    I read your blog for months before I sent my first comment, I was like shy I think. Since then I visit it everyday and I wish you could post everyday (maybe you will this year? ;)). What I will say will maybe surprise some people but since I came to Paris to see your exhibition, a lot of things changed for me. I met you and other people from this blog (Moshuo, PtitJean and maybe others with different nicknames) and I love your world of Sama. You are very talented and a wonderful person with convictions. Thank you for everything you do, long life to you Max :)

    Take care as always!

    I can’t believe that one year have already past! :cool:

    Everything I have read of yours has been interesting.

    And please, answer my question :mrgreen:

    Agathen says: April 19th, 2008 at 04:07 am

    I may not always comment but you are always a great read. I have so many questions for you about Darfur, The Twilight Zone, Tati and so on………

    Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing, you’re a great artist and your style is unique.

    Happy first blog anniversary!

    Happy anniversary to this excellent blog !

    Same like everybody else, nothing to add. I can’t wait for the new exhibition and to know more about your projects. That’s a good idea to answer our questions apparently we have many to ask you, good luck reading and answering them :P

    PS : Hola Pilar, nice to see you didn’t forget me ;)

    Hi Max, congrats for this first blog anniversary.

    I’ve got a question for you: when will you come to New Orleans? Our jazz band is ready, there are many art galleries in the city and we all speak french (well kinda). What more do you need? :)

    Seeya!

    BettyKohn says: April 20th, 2008 at 02:13 am

    I’m late but happy blog anniversary! You’re a great artist and definitely a great person with a very open mind. The content on your site is always superb and I’ve enjoyed each and every one of your posts since I discovered you. Keep on bloggin’ ;)

    Moshuo says: April 20th, 2008 at 16:29 pm

    Sorry Max I didn’t check your blog for a week, I’ve been very busy :( So happy birthday blog ! :) I can see many already congratulated you, it looks like I’m among the last ones :oops:

    I’m very honored to know you in person and to have worked with you, I wish I could work with you again one day. But I still have many questions to ask you, both professional and personal (but not too much) because you’re still a very secret person and it’s hard to really know you personally. So be prepared for my questions :P

    Bises
    Moshuo

    Thomas says: April 24th, 2008 at 20:44 pm

    Hi Max, I just sent another question, the fourth. I may send a question per day until you answer them, I have many you know :P


    21.
    Lissa says: April 28th, 2008 at 14:52 pm

    I’m late but hopefully you didn’t answer the questions already. So I can still send mine and I have many. About your commitment, your work, your inspiration, I want to know everything! ;)

    Nouni says: May 3rd, 2008 at 22:40 pm

    Oops, a very late happy blog anniversary!

    Any news about your book? See, I don’t suffer any memory loss ;)


    23.
    Arnold says: May 4th, 2008 at 12:04 pm

    I’m sure Max will give us a clue about her book. I know it because one of my questions was also about it :P


    24.
    Moshuo says: May 8th, 2008 at 17:13 pm

    I love your black and white steampunk style Max. A little out of the subject but I wanted to let you know ;)

    Moshuo, what do you mean by ’steampunk style’? Max, are you really into steampunk?
