Jazz and draw takes another week of vacation

I am taking another week of vacation this coming week and again will not be able to post. As I did last time, I post now a few images all done by the same person. He is French originally but lives in Belgium for some time now, he will be exhibiting his work together with Yves Budin and Blaise Dehon very soon and he's got some very funny pictures. His name is Jampur Fraize and he's got an unusual outlook on jazz.
Enjoy, and see you in a week,

Philippe.
