Photos of Raptus Comic Convention 2024 in Bergen
Hey, I safely made my trip back to the south of France after a couple of day in Bergen, Norway, for the Raptus Comic book convention where I was a guest.
I had a very good time and signed many Pepper&Carrot books and drew almost non stop, meeting many of you.
Again a big thank you to the one who also traveled to Raptus to meet me. 💜
Sadly, I forgot to shoot the drawings I made and I don't have a lot of photos to share here but here is a small sample I can share with you.
First, I was super happy to find Pepar & Gulrot at the book store, it's always impressive to me to see the books there, ready to browse, especially in another country like that.
I also took a touristic morning, walking on the port of Bergen and I tried to make a watercolor. I couldn't detail this one as I wanted because it sudently started to rain right after I painted in overlay the gray cloud in the top-left corner. Bergen is a lovely city, I totally would recommend it to anybody looking for a nice city to visit (big bonus for the funicular and its amazing top view on the city).
Here is a montage of photos sent by the Raptus festival, You can see Thierry Capezzone, Miguel Diaz Vizoso, Paolo Mottura ; it was super nice to meet them and share the festival with them. Also, a big thanks to the team of volunteers who made this convention possible, I had super interesting discussions with them.
I also could meet in real life Karl Ove Hufthammer, one of the two translators of Pepper&Carrot in Nynorsk and beta readers of episodes since years. I also met Kazima Sjøvoll , my publisher at Outland Forlag. Here is a photo of Kazima, Karl and me:
Finally, I want to thanks a lot Susilune and Elisabeth who gave me fan-arts of Pepper&Carrot. I love them!
All in all, I really hope I'll be able to return to this comic convention in the future. I had a really good time. 🙂

a few months ago I asked in my local comic store if they could order your comic for me. They said no, sadly it does not get shipped anymore, BUT they already had a copy lying around, so I could get that one.
davidrevoy
@kuchenmampfer Oh, good to know and thank you for purchasing it. I'm glad they still had a book around for you.

That's amazing.

L'as-tu dédicacé à la future personne qui l'achètera puis remis en place discrètement ?
J'ai vu que @unpied faisait ça en mettant des BD dans des boîtes à livres, et je trouve l'idée géniale ❤️
davidrevoy
@gub @unpied L'idée est géniale !
Mais là, non, j'imagine que si je me faisait choper à gribouiller un truc dans un livre en magasin , je finirai au poste de police. 😺
En tout cas, j'ai laissé à l'éditrice 3 livres dédicacés d'avance à sa requête: je crois qu'il s'agira de prix pour des concours de BD.

Oof, visited that store, Outland in Bergen, it's amazing..! If I am not wrong, this is the section with the translated comics, so it would be in Norwegian, not just import..? Cheers!
davidrevoy
@PotMetPetunias Yes! an amazing shop (I love that they have a full section for board games).
★yes, Pepar and Gulrot is fully translated in Nynorsk . It's also possible to read it on the website: https://www.peppercarrot.com/nn/webcomics/index.html

reminds me of Thomas Kinkade (non-derogatory).
Have you considered adding a drop of blood? Might increase the powah from a chaos magic perspective

@cykonot Interesting! (and also a bit extreme 🙃 🦇 )
cykonot@mas.to
that's uh definitely one word for it lol 🤪
★Nanard_Groubiche@piaille.fr
Et traduit en Viking, en plus!
Sinon, ils lisent quoi comme BD en Norvège?
davidrevoy
@Nanard_Groubiche 🤣 he he!
Je crois qu'en générale, ils lisent un peu de tout comme par chez nous; du franco belge, du US comic et du Manga.
En grosse découverte perso, c'est pour moi l'autrice fantasy Norvégienne Cha Sandmæl , sa série l'Oeil du Dragon arrive cette année en France chez Albin Michel : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Sandmael-Oeil-de-dragon-tome-1--LExil/1667715 , un talent dingue et une belle personne.
2 ★Nanard_Groubiche@piaille.fr
J'aimais bien Stand Still, Stay Silent, mais l'autrice a sabordé la fin de la série et ne fait plus que dans l'édification gnan-gnan depuis qu'elle est entrée en religion.
Et c'est vraiment du gâchis 😐
