When I was 19, I was spending my nights pasting small posters framed with paint in the streets of paris. I got an email from a student of Ecole du Louvre, his name was Emile and he told me that he noticed my work and that he was writing an essay on the bridge between art in the streets and Museums.. Even if I was afraid it could be some police trying to frame me, I met him in the middle of the night on a bench in paris .. At this point in my life I was doing everything by myself and never thought that artist could be a job.. I now realize how naive about art I was and maybe thats what gave me the freedom to do whatever I wanted. As I didnt know how to write (I still dont and Marco helps me), every time I had a text to do, I would ask Emile, so he wrote the foreword of my first book ... He then interviewed my friends from Clichy Montfermeil for the book we were doing with @ladjly One day he came to me and said, I think you need an assistant to help you, even more so if you are going to travel... I didnt know if I could pay a salary. I was 22 and I didnt need much but Emile had 2 kids and it was a big commitment on both sides. And thats how its started ... when I traveled for the first time to the Middle East he backed us up from Paris.. and then we traveled to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Kenya, Sudan, India, Cambodia , Brazil ... For the first 3 years, we planned every single project together and slowly built a team .. we survived a few gunshots and Ill always remember his mother driving him to the airport asking me to bring him back alive ! mile became one of my closest friend and he will always be.. last week was his last project at the Louvre as he decided to try to challenge himself and live a new adventure. Even if I am sad to see Emile leaving the team, I know that well always be here for each other. Anything anytime ! Long live Emile and Merci

Bon voyage camarade
En Franais car elle naimait pas que je fasse lamricain... Agns tait prs de la tombe de Jacques Demy, elle faisait semblant de dormir, ou de mourir. Elle avait plant le grand arbre il y a trs longtemps et fait installer un banc pour pouvoir s asseoir prs de lui. Elle m a dit, un jour j irais rejoindre Jacques ici et a semblait lui faire plaisir. Agns croyait en l amour, au couple, aux couples, elle disait que faire les choses deux c est beau, que savoir qu on peut compter sur l autre, c est merveilleux. Aujourd hui, Agns a t rejoindre Jacques pour l ternit au terme d une belle et longue vie. Agns, je sourirai toujours en pensant toi.
