That's Bal de têtes, above.

A few weeks back I was pleased to discover that a beloved childhood comic I once had was free to read online here, which includes info about Claveloux' other Grabote comics. Later, I discovered more of her fine arts work, and have been just blown away.


L: Coup de vent, R: La mer noire.

Painter Hieronymus Bosch' work certainly comes to mind(!)


L: Les images, R: Les 12 Moi

What's with all the baby heads and masks? After a good bit of searching, I'm... still not sure. Still, her site helpfully reveals:

She's always loved drawing and looking at imagery, for example: illustrated books, tarot cards, illuminations, posters, advertisements, pious images and erotic images, laughing cows, comics, bookplates, culs-de-lampe, rebuses…

Nicole loves images teeming with details, jumbles of characters (schizo-style), interior landscapes, metamorphoses, symbolic figures, caricatures, parodies, enactments of dreams, childhood memories, legged-fantasies and funny robots, and picture games.


These are evidently closeups from a huge wheel-like piece named Les Vepres des grenouilles ("The Vespers of the Frogs")


St. Anthony, is that you?

What I also greatly admire about Claveloux is her utter versatility. For example, one might look at her cartoons, her illustrations, her paintings, and never get a whiff that they were created by the same person.

Loads more of her work here:
