In 2018, a little while I was finishing Here Be Voodoo and preparing the crowdfunding for the last book of the French edition, I entered one of the bonkers challenge in art space, namely: 12H of comics. You have 12H to make a 12 pages comics on a theme announced a minute 1.
Bonkers I tell you.
The theme was the word VOILE, which in French, can mean a veil, a sail, an headscarf, a curtain, a buckled wheel, a protective coating, a… you get it (yeah, French is hard sometimes, even when you are born into it)
And so, the veil meaning inspired me for the very first encounter between Saint Brigit of Kilgare and the Baron Samedi, well before she became Mama Brigit and well after she was the Goddess Brigit.
Enjoy !
(Oh right: I didn’t do ALL the comics in 12H. I did just the sketches and pacing. I’m not THAT insane)

I had fun reusing my visual concepts for the loas (inspired by african art, especially the masks) but with celtic irish art!
(Ok yeah I know Cernunnos isn’t Irish, but I couldn’t pass an opportunity to draw The Boss)

I didn’t made it up by the way!
I mean, the idea that the Goddess Brigit became Saint Brigit of Kilgare and then Mama Brigit is a well known theory in voodoo studies !

I admit, there is a lot of Sir Terry Pratchett in my personal theology.
