If you live in France, there is no way you could not know Les aventures extraordinaires d’Adele Blanc-Sec opens today.

A few months ago, it’s Sama Reader Lissa who commented on Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough? about the great work this organization was doing.

We follow many artists on Twitter. Artists we of course appreciate but sometimes their tweets are not as interesting as their work (and no, we won’t give names!). Pete Fowler‘s tweets @themonsterist prove the contrary. The artist lives in Monsterism Island and here is his Twitter Bio: ‘drawer, illustratorer, scrabble loser, sound explorer and yacht rock lover.

Whether you are into religious celebrations or not, Easter is fun (eating chocolate -milk, dark, semisweet, bittersweet, unsweetened…). Easter egg Sama hunt even more. So we decided to hide an Easter Sama on the Sama Gazette.

Dear Sama ...

  We are very concerned by environmental issues at the Sama Gazette. Everyday, each member of the Sama Team tries to reduce his/her impact on the environment.
