Car-burning seems to be a traditional French past-time! During the World Cup I ended up in the eye hospital after getting too close to the smoke of a burning vehicle & a fragment of something lodged itself on my retina! In February I had a bike accident on the Promenade & my shoulder hasn't been the same since. For some reason my doctor sent me to a Gynaecological clinic to get x-rayed!
Here's a photo collage of some sights I came across in Paris.
These pics are from the Cote d'Azur.
France really is a marvellous country & I've only seen a tiny part of it. I hope to stay as long as possible & discover more.

hi matt,
who is that girl in the mibble of the second collage?!! ;)
see you soon
Yo Sylvain, that's my girlfriend Raja-she's the reason I came to France but she never believes me, she says I'm here for the wine, cheese & fine living!! You'll meet her if you come for B's anniversaire. Looking forward to seeing you again.
A bientot mon amie.
I have really enjoyed your posts about your year. We are going to France again on holls this year, I know I will not want to come back!
I think with a jacket like that you can stay anywhere you please.
Wonderful sketches and pics- your enthusiasm and skill are a joy to behold.
Aaah ben voila! jolis jolis jolis.
Maintenant t'arrete de boire tout notre vin.
Hope to see you soon, before I become all tanned and fake.
Hope the shoulder recovers... the pix are all extremely entertaining... :)
Cheers! A & J
Wow!!! The good life Mr.Jones...wanna swap snottingham for france??...
when you visit uk next ill hook up with ya...i would love to get over there for a weekend, saving the pennies for my world trip at the mo.
A weekend in skeggie is all i can stretch to at the time.
Anyway you look well...getting those rays huh?
man, you've gotten so damn GOOD.
Wonderful drawings and funny moments. It looks like France is a land of loonies- great place!
I hope France is doing well for you. I really enjoyed those pen-based doodles of, I think, Annecy (judging by the mountain you have in the backdrop in one picture). I actually studied them in depth and wondered how you compiled the darn thing. I have a hunch that you did plain-by-plain, from immediate foreground to background. This is truly inspiring!!
ouaaaw that dog tomb!!! where is it? I want to see "A mon bibi" too.
"For some reason my doctor sent me to a Gynaecological clinic to get x-rayed!"
It was because he thought you were cunt.
One year already? Time flies way too fast. Hope to see you soon again.
Magic moments! I worked in Marseille for a year, do you know the Action Synthese lads? It is a fantastic country .Great post dude.
Thnx 4 the comments all!
Paul- Enjoy & DON'T go back!
M@-thanx & compliments right back at ya !!
Stef-you'll be an authentic Frenchman in California
Doodlers-shoulder still aches but swimming helps.
Andy- France is SWEET but no beef curry!
Boris-thanks pal!
Richard-I kinda start in the middle of the page & work my way out.
Marco-good to hear from you, the Cimitiére de chiens is at the end of the Clichy bridge in Asnières-sur-Seine. It's very funny!!
Christian- I was just in Marseille for the first time last weekend, but only on the beach at the western end, near Michelangelo's David. We spent the day at Cassis & took a boat trip around the Calanques-you know it?
I'm not familiar with the outfit you worked for but I'll look them up.
I really like the sequence on the first page of the large fellow coming out of the crowd to bust a move.
Looking forward to more from France with Jones.
He's the biggest street-sweeper I've ever seen! I saw him one day watching the breakdance kids performing in the main square in Nice & I imagined him pulling some sweet freestyle moves-
wahoooow.....i slept too long.
(i haven't been on your blog since Annecy)
so many good & funny things.
bravo monsieur Matt.
j'espere que tout va bien chez mr Bibo.
la bise

Hé Zébé! je suis trés content a chez Bibo! Le bulo va bien et le bronzé aussi! Tu toujours travaille a NEBULO?
I think the little break-dancing fat man, in the top corner, is a brilliant sequence of drawings. Very funny! :D
