Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Thank you ☀️ The map has folded shut. Copy after copy, it left toward walls in countries I've never been to. That was the point: a map is made to travel. Back to the quiet work now. Watercolour, gold, pressed petals. Something small, for those who opened their door. September, on your walls. 17511

Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Last day to get the Labyrinth map. Tonight, this edition closes for good. One year drawn by hand, gilded by hand. After tonight, no other gilded, numbered copies will ever exist. www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma... 0294
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Two days left... One year of drawing by hand, gilded by hand. Mercator never kept his maps. He drew them so others could cross. Sunday night, the map folds shut. No other gilded, numbered copies will ever exist. www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma... 0334
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 04/07/2026A year inside one map. Drawn by hand, gilded by hand. Mercator never kept his maps. He drew them so others could cross. Now it's a print, finished by hand. Pre-order until July 12: www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma... 05711
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Uou watched this map take shape for months. Now it exists in the room: pressed into paper, edged in gold, stamped by hand, numbered. Mercator never kept his maps. He drew them so others could cross. Pre-order in bio. Until July 12. www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma... 2429

Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 28/06/2026For months you watched me draw it. It's finished. And now it can leave. Mercator never kept his maps. He drew them so others could cross. A map, for him, is how you resist. Hand-finished. Arches paper. Gold hot-foil. Limited, then closed for good. Pre-order: www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma... 111937
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 24/06/2026A map kept by one hand is a leash. So I won't keep this one. One year of work. A map of a world that won't hold still. They call the Tower the centre; I found none. Drawn at its foot, with my back to it. Made to move. 🧵 531070
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Fragments of the Labyrinth — note 14 One year. The last line of gold. The map is finished. It happened on the longest day. The light climbed as far as it could, then stopped. The map. The year. Me. All holding still at once. Soon, you'll see it too. #fantasyart #darkfantasy #worldbuilding 08026
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I put gold around everything I've seen. Including this one. Especially this one. The border holds. Periwinkle. Perseverance. Someone chose that word before I did. Fragments of the Labyrinth — note 13 #fantasyart #darkfantasy #worldbuilding 28814

Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I found this in the margins of an old archive. Three figures. Three scythes. Something watching from above. Everything seems to be falling. Nothing falls. Les Fleurs du Mal — oil, gold leaf and hydrangea petals on Arches paper, 2014. #fantasyart #darkfantasy #worldbuilding 642681
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Late. The map looks different at night. I'm not sure it's the light. Fragments of the Labyrinth — note 12 #labyrinth #fantasyart #worldbuilding 0384
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Cartographer’s note 11: Cartographer maps what he's seen. Three places remain empty on this map. Not forgotten : unreachable. Some doors don't open until you're ready. I don't know if I'll ever be. Now, the gold. 0344
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Some days, it feels less like drawing a map and more like listening to one. The Labyrinth is too vast to reveal itself all at once. So I work slowly. Photo by Psyché Ophiuchus IX — #labyrinth #fantasy 0435
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 27/05/2026This world has a center on the maps. I don't know if that's a cartographer's habit or a fact. Eight directions on a compass rose. Each pointing to an era. None fixed. One leads home. — Cartographer's note 10 1413
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Before the Labyrinth, I painted thresholds that smiled before closing. The Morrigan. She invites. White birds. Purple silk like blood. You walk toward the goddess, past the flowers. Later, you notice the red at your feet. A door identical to your dream. An exit that is a test. 318848
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Fragments of the Labyrinth — Note IX Some routes were erased from official maps. I marked them anyway. The crossings between eras still exist. 012726
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Before the Labyrinth, there was Diane. Hunter and hunted. Neither mortal. Condemned to replay the same scene forever. A world where the cycle has no moral. Only a rhythm. Diane - 2013 314320
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 16/05/2026The map moved while I wasn't looking. The red mark is mine. I think. #labyrinth #darkfantasy #worldbuilding 1604
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Before the Labyrinth, there was Thanatos. 2013. Graphite, gold leaf and hydrangea petals on Arches paper. Looking back at this piece now, I realize I was already circling the same threshold: the moment when identity loosens, when something crosses, and the masks no longer hold. 013423
Reposted by Yoann LosselYoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Cartographer’s note: At first, I was just painting around the map. Trying to keep things contained. But the edges don’t hold. Each circle shifts the balance. Not enough to see it. Enough to feel it. The Labyrinth isn’t drawn. It reacts. How would you map something that refuses to stay still? 315429
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Fragments of the Labyrinth — Cartographer's note 7 I stopped mapping what I see. I started mapping what recognizes you. *(it knew your name before you arrived)* #labyrinth #darkfantasy #worldbuilding #fantasyart #arg 0539

Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Before the Labyrinth, there was Beowulf. Made in 2018 for Easton Press. Mixed media on Arches paper. I was already asking: Does the hero seek the legend, or is he called by it? I still don’t have an answer. 116245
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Fragments of the Labyrinth — Cartographer's note 6 It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't warn you. You only notice after. #labyrinth #darkfantasy #fantasyart #worldbuilding 1494
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Albâtre — now part of the Labyrinth Some figures were already there. Waiting to be found. I didn't know it then, but this wasn't just a painting. It was a crossing point. Not a symbol. Not a creature. A threshold. Albâtre. You don't look for him. You see him. Or you don't. 113527
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Fragments of the Labyrinth — Cartographer's note: I didn't draw these paths. Not like the others. They appeared in the gaps. Where the map wasn't supposed to exist. I tried to follow them. I'm not sure that was a good idea. #labyrinth #darkfantasy #fantasyart #worldbuilding 05912
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Mapping the edges. Some towers don’t belong to the center… but they still hold something. 110922
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 18/04/2026The Labyrinth will have a voice. Stéphane Paut (Neige, Alcest) will compose its music. Some collaborations don't end. They find a new threshold. Les Chants de l'Aurore — this cover I painted for Alcest two years ago. (Photo 2: Neige by Yohan Terraza) 310116
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 16/04/2026I thought the edges would hold. But the closer I got to the center, the less it behaved like a map. It doesn’t collapse. It shifts. 0424
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Before Labyrinth had a name, it already existed. Les Jardins de Nuit Mixed media and gold leaf on paper, 2020 0504
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Labyrinth — Cartographer’s note I wasn’t supposed to paint this one. It wasn’t just a refuge. It held something. We found it. We stayed there, for a while. Maybe too long. High in the trees, it was already changing. We saw it begin to slip away. So I kept it here. Not as a place, as a memory. 1594

Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Fragments of the Labyrinth. You don’t find them. You arrive as they emerge. Each circle reveals a place. Each place shifts as you look at it. The map is unfinished. Because the world keeps moving. 09418
Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I’m drawing a map of the Labyrinth. The problem is no one has ever mapped it completely. Every path changes. Every map is only an attempt. This is mine. #labyrinth #mapmaking #darkfantasy #worldbuilding #artprocess 010517

Yoann Lossel @yoannlossel.bsky.social · 04/02/2026The improvised cartographer I am. A photo of the map, inside a photo, inside the map. At this point, I’m not sure who’s mapping whom. 27210
