    rodolphe Dogniaux is the real name. It's certainly the most creative design website you can find, full of humour and proving a clever and bright spirit. As i'm a design teacher i had the pleasure to have rodolphe as guest for a design workshop during two days with my students in " lycée Camille Claudel de Blois" ( center of France near "les Châteaux de la Loire") it was a great experiment full of energy.
    Cheers to frogsmoke my dayly pleasure!
