A new collaboration with Board N Stones for this new book by Dai Junfu 🙂
The cover went through a lot of work so that it faithfully represents Dai’s thoughts, I hope it will convince you to read this book.
The book will be released during the 2024 Paris tournament
You can find out more about the behind-the-scenes design of this cover on patreon 😉
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
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!
The publisher board n stones had already proposed a reissue of the famous “Le Go Cosmique” by Takemiya Masaki in French, and I had the pleasure and honor of making the cover.
It is now available in English!
You can order it here: http://www.boardnstones.com/03-Go_Books-03-Pro_Games.php
I did my first book cover, for the great “Le Go Cosmique” by Takemiya Masaki, a reprint by Board N’Stones! (Thank You Gunnar for your work!)
I hope that the rediscovery (in French for the moment) of this great classic will please you! ❤️
Le « Le Go Cosmique », de Takemiya Masaki, est sans aucun doute le meilleur livre de go que j’ai lu jusqu’à ce jour. Je l’ai déjà dévoré à d’incalculables reprises, et plus je le relis, plus je ressens la nécessité de le rendre accessible en d’autres langues que le japonais. En effet, ce livre suscite en moi une émotion telle que je voulais absolument la faire partager au plus grand nombre possible de joueurs de go. Je suis certain que ce livre vous permettra de découvrir une nouvelle approche du jeu de go, un autre univers, peut-être plus poétique et plus philosophique.
