"The Wait – A Nod to Dali – Aloe 141 "

In a previous post, I spoke about the relaunch of my YouTube channel with the sculpture Cézanne TV, installed facing the Sainte-Victoire mountain — an invitation to look at the world with fresh eyes, without filters.

Today, the scenery changes.

Aloe 141 returns… motionless. He waits.In a desert where time softens, watches melt, and staircases lead nowhere.

“The Wait – A Tribute to Dali” was born from this surreal atmosphere.

This painting — which you can discover step by step in an immersive video on my YouTube channel — invites you to dive into the poetic drift of its creation.

It’s available now in the shop, for those who’d like to adopt an original piece and bring a little Aloe into their home.

As for the illustrated book, the journey is taking shape.I have two pages left to complete, then a full proofreading, and if all goes well… off it goes to Amazon KDP for publication. The finish line is in sight.

Meanwhile, I’ve started the "Aloe Cosplay" series.

In it, Aloe dresses up as iconic pop culture characters: Superman, the Fantastic Four, Wednesday Addams, Angus Young… and many more to come.

These drawings will be available very soon on the site.

-And on the musical side?Aloe’s universe is expanding through sound as well — on the Aloe141 YouTube music channel.

• The third album, No Way Home, is already available.

• The fourth, titled Australia, is finished and will be released in early September.

• The fifth album is currently in the works — and for the first time, it will be entirely in French.

-For those who have supported me for a long time (or who are just discovering the Aloe universe), the 25% discount on figurines is still available.

Use code ALOE25 at checkout.

And a big thank-you to the latest adopters of Aloe:

— one figurine in France

— two in the Netherlands

— one in Belgium

— and one in Singapore!

Each adoption is a piece of my studio that sets off to travel, live elsewhere, and continue the story.

The journey goes on.

Thank you for making it real with me.
