The Blue Girl.

Watch her slurp her soup LIVE here.

By Adrien Merigeau who sez:

It’s an angry woman eating her soup. It was done all on paper, with a pencil and coloured inks, on 17 drawings playing on a loop. Some bits and bobs were added later on Photoshop. I don’t know where the idea comes from, I like random thoughts.

I grew up in France and moved in Ireland a few years ago because there’s really nice work to do in the field of animation and filmmaking. I mainly work for Cartoon Saloon, a really great little studio based in Kilkenny, as concept designer/art director. and some short films, and music video projects sometimes.

The “stealing” was in particular related to the Vatican Bank, IOR, whilst the sexual offences were related to the influence of an active gay lobby within the Vatican.

Truth About Kerry (2010)

A young American woman is found dead on a beach in Ireland under mysterious circumstances. Her best friend, refusing to believe it was an accident, travels to the remote fishing village to investigate what really happened to her.
