Bonjour !
Here is my last finished thing… trying a slicker rendering, trying to modernize my designs and to fill the gaps in my folio for my actual inhouse job hunting … woohoo !

Take good care,

Bonjour et bonne annee a tous !

A fantastic and totally unreal beginning of the year for me. After watching the fireworks on rooftop of a friend’s building, and by randomly following friendly people in the street, I ended up partying in a penthouse on 3 levels on top of another building with a hidden jacuzzi watching over the whole sydney harbour and equiped with lots of bubbles and intoxicated creatures ( i can still hardly believe it myself). After such a good time and good energies exchanged… I decided to go and welcome back our divine goddess the Sun on the cliffs of Bondi Beach and create my first artwork of the year. My partner in crime Adam joined me moments after I arrived at 4.30am, we sat in the twilight zone and started jamming with a good wine and marshmallows while a little crowd gathered behind us… Life is good… Salute !

Me drawing, taken by a friendly drunken girl ( who could have guessed )

5h47 a.m. Adam painting, the crowd chatting, the sun just rising over the horizon
and that bloody skilled fisherman taking a fish every 2 minutes and shouting !!!
Am really happy with how this shot turned out. To me, it really captures the energy
of that moment :)

at 9 am, artwork finished, sun already burning, time for a swim…

Title : Sleep Now In a Fire.

Happy new year spacemonkeys !

Bonjour,
As we all know sometimes a painting takes 2 hours to be achieved some take 2 months, well I started this illustration last year and added the final touches today. A long and slow digestive process. Am still not happy with certain things but I’ve decided it was time to let it be and move on.

It’s about searching for a place to call home… hope you like what you see. click for bigger version

Hey fellas,

Here is one of my latest work for the card game Warlord CCG : the Daemon of Lies. It’s actually 4 cards in one illustration ( the daemon, the illusion-girl, the spell, the minion). It has been quite a challenge to balance out the composition and avoid overcrowding the scene while still keep everything readable. I’m still trying to get better with colors but it’s still a big struggle for me and am still very far from it I find. Oh well… :)

Salut les gorilles !

I ve been recently asked to design a futuristic-yet-classical-in-its-architecture city for an animated serie pitch, in 10 days… Maybe it would be more than enough time for most of you but it was an insane challenge for me, knowing that I had never done that before and I had no idea how I would do. So of course, I accepted. It’s my first proper environment piece ever. I ‘m already not satisfied anymore. There is a lot of mistakes and things I d do differently but yea, playing at apprentice god-architect was just mind blowing.

Big thanks to Adam for his advices along the way. Really helpful stoot eye as usual!
