The first morning in Lyon, my friend Jean-Christophe Defline and I went to Place des Terreaux to draw the Fontaine Bartholdi. It was pretty empty except for the artist, super touffe. He’s a guy who live streams himself while he sketches. He’s got cameras around his neck that are filming, microphones, ear buds in, sketchbook in hand, pens, and watercolors. He’s a one man documentary crew. Very quickly we were involved with him and he was live streaming us as we drew. It’s surrel to be interviewed and filmed while trying to draw this very elobarate fountain. I had to multi-task. It was fun though because he’s a hilariously creative dude. It’s impossible to say no to Super Touffe. I did manage a good drawing in the short amount of time we were there.
