I heard that there was some possibility of a job with something related to Tripping The Rift, the cartoon show on Teletoon, here in Quebec. So, to show the client and also for fun, I did a pin-up of Six, just to show them what I could do with it. *** Also, I'll be at the next Montreal Comic Con. It's April 27, 2008. Here are the direction since it's no longer at the same location: Place

I've made some update and improvement to the webcomic page in the last month, trying to find a way to make it look a bit more lively. One of the thing that were there, then removed because the company went out of business, and then but back in was the chatterbox. You may have noticed it. I hope you like the possibility of commenting on the webcomic. But maybe people will "chatter" a bit more once

Yes, I'm getting into the facebook thing like everyone else ! I've had a Facebook page since last year, but mostly I use it with my friends and want to keep it personal. But I used the Group function to create a page about John Star. It can help gather readers from the Facebook network and keep them posted about new work being published on the webcomic. So if you are on Facebook, it's an

Yes, that's my current job. I'm working on a schoolbook where comics are used to help teenagers to understand hot topics like gangs, religious activities like shamanism or civil rights. In this case the topic is the dangers of cults or "religious" sects. The particular cult they are covering is the OTS, the Order of The Solar Temple, very active in Quebec and other french speaking countries

I have added a new "chatterbox" on the Veena webcomic page. The old one was gone because the Chatterbox company that made it, somehow went kaput. I haven't really ressearched the reasons and simply decided to remove it. It made the webpage look defective... Months have gone by. I was too busy with illustrations and paying comic work, the Veena webcomic went into re-runs. The John Star story left

Kurt Beaulieu et moi continuons de faire la chronique illustrée des Stats. Depuis 3 mois déja, Kurt m'écrit le scénario et j'illustre à la ligne avec tons de gris. Comme le nom l'indique, c'est une série de gags basés sur les statistiques venant de Léger et Léger, Ipsos et autres irritants des sondages téléphoniques... Malgré mes peurs, l'humour de Kurt passe assez bien la transition à la

The drawing in this post is a special "commission". I was asked to give some art for a charity. I must admit that I did not understand all the details, the original message was in Italian but I did get that they were trying to sell artwork to help fund an african charity, in Tanzania. An italian penpal gave my name and I wound up in the company of Milo Manara, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Gabriel of the

If your reading this news from the Veena webcomics page, you can look right next to this news box and you'll see a Chatterbox. Right now it doesn't look like much because it seems that Flooble, the company that manage the code, lost something to make it work...I have no idea how to fix this. I might have to install a new account, or simply to forget about the whole thing. If you think it's

I always forget to mention those things... I talk about my trip to Toronto but never mention it when it's a convention from home... I've been invited to the Montréal Comic Con next Sunday. Other guests will include David Finch, Serge Lapointe, Clément Sauvé and Sirkowski. The details: Sunday 22nd April From 10am to 5pm DIRECTIONS: PALAIS DES CONGRES By Metro: Take the metro (subway) to the

Somewhere in the late 80's, there was a band called Deja Voodoo. I was a huge fan of their sludgeabilly swamp music. Every time they played in Montreal, I was there. They were Gerard Van Herk and Tony Dewald and played a very stripped down type of rockabilly.They dressed very simply; short hair, suits and bow ties or maybe a plastic spider instead of a tie ? At some point Van Herk decided to

That's the name of a very short story I did for Femforce #138. That happened unexpectedly: a pen pal from Italy was supposed to have a 2 page story we did published in an Italian magazine. That could not be done, so he sent it to AC Comics for use in Femzine. That's how I got in touch with them, just to get my artist comp copies. They liked my art, and were in a rush to finish

I'd like to make an invitation to everyone who can read french to read an interview that Eric Lamiot did with me last summer on the Bedeka web site, but has only recently been posted on the site. I'm pointing it because, em..it's an interview with me, but also because the updates on the news section of that site are pretty irregular these days and maybe nobody see them anymore. It's here.

While surfing, I found a page on the Montreal Mirror site that had art I did nearly 8 years ago ! That was when 1999 was synonymous with the end of the world, or at least with the Millenium Bug. It's here. Once a year, the Montreal Mirror asked editor Rupert Bottenberg to built a whole issue full of cartoons, so that the journalists could take a vacation during the Christmas time. That was a

By now everyone has a My Space page. I'm not sure what's the use really...I did not care about it very much until I was invited by the OnlineComic administrator (where you can subscribe to get updates about the veena webcomic) to a sort of My Space dedicated to comic creators. I registered, so now I have a ComicSpace page under my name. And, why the hell not, I made one for Veena on My Space.

On Comicgenesis message board here, I recently made an offer to trade guest art for a link and some good word of mouth in the news section. The only requirement is that it be about Veena or any character or situation from the webcomic. I was happy with the result. 4 very good artists answered the call and a few more made promises. You may already have noticed that the last 2 weeks of strips were

Last year, I was interviewed by Sebastien Dumesnil for his new movie Adventures Into Digital Comics. It took a while to be ready, but the movie is now finished and has begun to travel to cinema festival worldwide. The interview is not actually in the movie but served to frame some informations about comics. It's now online here. This is how their website describe the movie: "What is a comic book

I need your input on what to do. The story going on right now in the Veena webcomic has about 15 pages to go before the end of the John Star adventure. But since I'm working on a lot of other stuff, I won't really be able to put a lot of time on it.As I've said before, i'm now working on a 7 pages Turtle story and will soon begin to do more schoolbook illustrations. Would you be pissed off if I

I have now finished working on the pitch for the French publishers. The 5 pages are done and lettered. After little tweaks here and there, my writer will be able to go and meet the publishers personally (he's in Paris). I'm crossing my finger that this is my next project. In the meantime, i've got more to do: a 7 pages Turtle story to be published in Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ! I

I'’m back from the Toronto comic con (whose official name is Fan Expo Canada 2006). I was there for the 3 days and I traveled with Sirkowski (artist on Miss Dynamite). It was my 3rd year there and it will be my last. Unless something really drastic change. I usually go there with copies of my Veena comic book and some of my art hoping to make some sales and get in touch with some readers.

I just re-did the index page of this site. So now, instead of a photography of me that does nothing to inform that it's a site about my art, you get a cool tiki. I like tiki, that, i'm sure you could guess...It remind me of those old Elvis movies where he sang on a beach with cute girls and a dune buggy. Anyone know which movie it is? It also remind me of old Kirby monsters stories. Go figure...

As the title says, yes, it's back on. For a while, this forum that I share with Steve Requin's The Eight got locked to everyone not registered because some robots were posting junk and nonsense...That was the only way to stop that for a while. Then Steve had "life" get in the way of his involvement with his webcomic and things stuck at that point. Now he's back, the forum is now unlocked to all.
