Outstanding Go Education Award !

Outstanding Go Education Award !

We won a prize! 😀

Yesterday the 1st ISGS International Conference on Go Studies was held, where the finalists for the 1st Go Promotion Awards were announced. I presented it to you in a previous article, I proposed 2 projects for these prizes, the one concerning the illustrated introductory book written with Lucas Neyrinck, as well as our Student Passport system set up in the ‘go school (of which I am director this year +_+’) in Grenoble.

Among many projects, we are honored, Loic, me and the Grenoble school, to be the winners of the “Outstanding Go Education Award”! You have all discovered this Baduk passport in part: the animal level badges are part of how it works and I sell them on my store. Given the regular out of stock I know you like them a lot. I hope to soon be able to offer a complete package for teachers who would like to use it in go classes 🙂

In short, thank you to the jury who honored us with this prize, a great recognition ! Congratulations also to Artem for the prize obtained with the European Go Journal, I am still fascinated by the work he does to keep up the pace of a monthly publication 🙂

Congrats also to Theo, Colin and Doc Quentin for their presentations and thank you for the photos <3

1st Go Promotion Awards

1st Go Promotion Awards

I presented two projects at the Go Promotion Awards (ISGS) this year!

It was done quite in a hurry, because it’s a rush period for me: preparation for the 2023 congress (printing of t-shirts, new designs, orders…), and running the shop for 2 weeks while painting 20 fans for the pros… Then add the presentation of projects for a price, OUTCH!

Fortunately, my amazing partners worked on the text: Lucas (co-author) and Benoit (editor) for our book “Go, let’s play !” (an illustrated initiation book in French available on October 10 in bookstores!), as well as Loïc for our Grenoble passport and badge system, inspired by Kevin’s (Rennes Go School) system 🙂

I cross my fingers that the projects please and convince the jury, and that they will inspire other project leaders!

IGLO & Stoned on the Goban

IGLO & Stoned on the Goban

When a community of dynamic and creative players knock on the door of Stoned on the Goban, it results in a brand new t-shirt ! 🙌

A warrior under the snow, for a fight on the goban…

💡 So how does it work ?
The members of IGLO have come up with a t-shirt design with me that looks like them but will also probably appeal to any go player.

The result is this t-shirt screen-printed on a petrol blue fabric, handmade in my workshop as for all the other textiles in the shop 💪

It is available to IGLO players at a special price as well as with an additional screen-printed shoulder, but for everyone else, this t-shirt is also available !

Do you also want this kind of partnership project? Don’t hesitate to come and discuss it by message 🙂

The Orlando Go club (United States) ordered me a logo for their communication and their goodies.
You can see the progress of work during an order:

from a fairly specific request
(based on the illustration I had made for the EGC with a large map/goban)

batch of sketches to advanced sketches,

and finally possible variations before vectorization 🙂

A custom order is a team effort 😉

Good road to you, Orlando Go Club ! 👋
