About this website

I like to say that I’m a world citizen with a notebook in hand to write, sketch, and tell stories with all senses present. Travelogue, carnet de voyage, sketchnote, commonplace book, all these concepts apply to what I trust to my pages in one way or another. Zibaldone is probably my favorite description because, like an Italian pasta dish prepared by my wife, it sounds as good as it tastes.

This website is a voyage in itself. Here I traverse through photography, sketches, and audio an online zibaldone with, probably, an unattainable destination in prospect.

Sketching I n preparation of a blogpost on Lizzie Napoli. The hamlet of Le Souleyan is just around our corner and I was told this carnettiste avant la lettre resided here. Reason enough to draw this charming Provençal corner near Oppède-le-Vieux. (link in bio)

Found this vintage stamp set on the attic. Unusable, but the letter shapes inspired some numbers & capitals in my journal. How lucky we are the French never threw their stuff away 😂

Lately, I’ve been focussing on the history and use of the zibaldone or commonplace book.
A #zibaldone is an Italian vernacular #commonplacebook. The word means "a heap of things" or "miscellany" in Italian. A commonplace book can be described as ‘a register of continuous learning’. They date back to antiquity and were kept particularly during the Renaissance and in the nineteenth century. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas … For it’s users it offers a lot of freedom in form and use.

I never cease to be amazed by how much care and detail artisans used to put in their work. Beautiful metal #typeface on an old cash register in France.

Yesterday’s #journal entry on asemic writing. The term is not exactly correct, but the idea of ~writing freed from language~ speaks to me. 🤨

The old village of #Maubec is well worth a visit. The menu du jour at the local restaurant was much less of a success. What is always going wrong with établissements where they drop off buses with Asian tourists?

A little sketch with a big story: the mythical borne d'angle by Michelin. I discovered the history of this landmark long time after sketching it. At the time it appealed to me as an interesting object, nothing more. 5 years later (!), flipping through my notebook it caught my eye again. A quick search revealed an interesting story. I wrote a blog post about it. Link in bio. ———
