Greetings Gorillas,

I just got back from NAB 2012 and thought I share a short I created for the Reduser 4k Portrait Competition. I was selected as one of the 10 finalists.

I wrote a huge post on the workflow with some concept art and notes describing this week long marathon. If you’re interested click the image below to watch the short and read my nonsensical dribble.

Thanks for watching. I’ll have a few doodles and paints soon. Gah. I’m such a ghost.

Photographs are still “in bounds” right? Thought these were worth posting as the lighting and the figures are interesting (to me at least). I collect masquerade masks and these three I picked up in New Orleans. They are all hand made and one of kind by different artists. Basically what I do is choose a subject and photograph them and only them in the mask and then put it back in my collection. Weird, but otherwise they just sit on the wall.









Also, in hot sexy news. I’ll be instructing at Gnomon for the Summer Semester. I’ve instructed at workshops, but this sucker is going to be a 10 week immersive course. Pretty excited about it.

I thought it was time to give the photography category some love. So here’s a quick selection of some Polaroid shots I made between France and California this year. All shots were done with a Polaroid SE Mamiya Press and using 669 type 100 expired films. Exception made from the one called “Desolation”, it was a Chocolate type 100 expired film. Click the shots for see some of them bigger, and enjoy ! ;)

I want use this opportunity to wish you, Ladies and Gentlemen, a merry Christmas.

Et paix sur terre aux hommes de bonne volonté !

Love,

J.

Hello, gang !

A modest post from me today. Just want to share the kind of stuff I do for myself, just for practice. I also want to apologies to anybody who could be shocked by the last picture.

Love on you all, folks. You guys made great art on this blog. As usual, should I say ?

Hi gang !

A four hours drive through the French country ends in a very particular place where I met this big fellah, a giant statue from medieval time dispatched all over the fields. Trust me, it’s huge ! So here’s some preliminary shots I did, for your inspiration. ;)

Hi gang !

Here’s my modest contribution to the Totoro Forest Project.  I feel very humble to be part of it. A combo of acrylic, coffee and photosho… Plus Tibetan music score [thank you, Dave, you'll know why]. ;)

And a picture made last fall, selected for the French artbook, Café-salé. Acrylic and coffee mix, plus photography and photoshop.

And for finish, some personal stuff:

Hope all is well for you guys,

from France with Love.

Julien.

first some livepaintings, then random sketches, then random sketches from random people of teh internetss, then some fotos…

a room i spend a lot of time in… (and the newest one of the livepaintings. I’m kinda proud of the curvilinear perspective):

my recent sketches are inspired a lot by the many people i met the last few months. I found a great sketchgroup here and more inspiring artists than I can handle at the moment (for example our very own Alex_D) ^^ gotta stop beeing antisocial…

Hi, Gang !

A lil’ experimentation made last afternoon, just for the fun of it. A tad more work on the font and it will be ready to be upgrade on my website… Maybe ?

Amis Gorilles, au revoir ! ^^
