Studio Peyo: Diaz Vizoso. Original work in felt pen and gouache, exclusively in aid of the "Une tente une vie" operation, on cardboard. Signed. Wooden frame with Plexiglas glass included: 155 x 125 cm From 1989 onwards, Miguel Diaz Vizoso (1969) worked for ten years as an educator in a medical-pedagogical institute in La Louvière. In 1996, he went to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Châtelet, Belgium, where Vittorio Leonardo was giving a course in comics, with a view to enrolling. Vittorio took an interest in his drawings and suggested that he take a break from his career as an educator to assist him in his studio with various projects, including drawing Rantanplan. He assists him for a year and then returns to his work as an educator. A few months later, Vittorio calls him back and advises him to go to the Peyo studio to show his drawings. The Peyo studio's comics team supplied the German magazine Smurf with games, posters, gags, stories and comics every month. However, the studio was short of available artists to create new drawings for potential licensees. In 1999, the studio offered him a continuing collaboration with Diaz, who had drawn on his experience as an educator to enrich the collection of Smurf albums. This influence led to the script for Un enfant chez les Schtroumpfs, in which the blue elves are confronted with a difficult child. In 2007, alongside his work for the Peyo studio with Ludo Borecki, he proposed that Le Lombard create a sequel to the adventures of Robin Dubois, with the support of their creators, Bob de Groot and Turk. In 2022, he signed the drawings for his seventh Smurfs album: The Smurfs and the Lost Children. The ORIG-AMI is a cardboard shelter measuring 117 x 235 x 150 cm. It is insulating, structurally protective, foldable like an accordion, transportable like a backpack and recyclable. The homeless shelter was designed on the principle of origami, a Japanese paper-folding technique.
