Summary:

In Diary of a Ghost, Nicolas de Crécy takes us on a journey. Multiple trips actually. Traveling beyond national borders for starters. Although Nicolas de Crécy is not really a homebody, he does not like to travel very much, because you have to fly, and Nicolas hates to fly! In Diary of a Ghost the author mainly describes the journey of the creative process. How can you reconcile artistic creativity and commercial assignments? How do you go about it if you are a cartoonist who enjoys a certain solitude and still wants to go out and sketch the world and expose yourself to the curious eyes of others? If that situation is difficult for a draftsman, imagine how difficult it is for the drawing itself. Well, not even a drawing, more of a draft. A setup that most resembles a large potato. And that, moreover, he is forced to appear in public with a manager who is only busy patting himself on the back… With his personal humor, Nicolas de Crécy asks some painful questions about the status of the image in our world and even more, about that of its creator.
