an interesting topic and a fine way to honour the late master joisel! i fear i'm not skilled enough yet to produce a worthy contribution ...

Dear friends:

As a way to estimulate your participation and creativity in the new Jousting dedicated to Eric Joisel, I will upload in flickr some images and small parts of the book the The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo (1802-1885) the famous french writter: http://www.flickr.com/groups/la_justa_de_las_gargolas that tell a story of the fight of internal values compared with spiritual values. Quasimodo, a deformed young man with a kindness soul is considered by the society as a devil man and injustice appears. The novel also show the richness of the Middle Age architecture and culture. Designing origami is also a way to show the expression of the soul, so, learning more about the subject will help to the creativity process.

Best Regards,

Eric Madrigal
