Juanjo Guarnido is a French cartoonist. He is the author of the famous BLACKSAD series (with Juan Diaz Canales). “When I agreed to create for Amiens Métropole the drawing that was to close the prestigious series of illustrations on the theme” The Cathedral of Amiens: the colors of the world “, I did not imagine that the experience was going to me. to offer, as a bonus, one of the most beautiful gifts that an author can receive: a character. During the guided tour of the Cathedral which was to be used to define my angle of approach for drawing, and while I was about to refuse to find a subject different from those already used by previous authors, a A marvelous canvas of the nineteenth drew me into a small side chapel, first by the beauty of its colors and composition. And then Xavier Bailly, my exceptional guide, explained to me the legend of Saint Ulphe, the young hermit who had imposed silence on the frogs who, preventing him from sleeping, had made him miss the mastiffs … This was the immediate favorite. There was in the anecdote almost (or frankly) comic, in this personal relationship of the man-woman-God to the animal, which is not unlike Saint Francis of Assisi, in the sweetness and the tenderness (despite the punishment) of Ulphe’s gesture on the painting, of the material to be exploited. At least I felt the vibration. The drawing, in which Picon blue dressed in pin-up, made a shiver of multicolored exotic tree-frogs, followed almost on his own. I later had the desire to take the character, with the excuse of an ex-libris in the context of meetings of the comic strip of Amiens. This illustration inspired the statuette. But Ulphe continues to talk to me and inspire me. A comic book on Sainte Ulphe? Maybe someday…” Juanjo G
