Few pictures of my work in progress, extract from
my first personnal edition project.
It takes place during the industrial revolution, and
shows a surrealism world, based on the work of
the DADA movement, at the beginning of the 20th
century.

I'm back!

Hi everybody!

I'm back for a new year of drawing, sketching, painting,
scratching, scribbling, and, I hope so, enjoying yourselves.
I swear I'm gonna regularly update the blog with news and
especially images of my recent work.

My website will also be update soon.

In the next days, I'll put some photos of my first publishing
I've done this summer, based on a typographic work, called
the "Typokit". I'm very proud of it, and I'll also try to show you
the fabulous place where I've done this.

Now I'm working on my first personal big project of this year,
and it will normally be release in june or july.
Some art coming soon.

First, there are 2 posters I made for 2 events about children books.

bye.

The book is done.
I'm gonna make some new illustrations,
and redo some others.
The whole must be more uniform.
Some pictures:

I d'like to show you the book cover my girlfriend Carolyn
made for the book she's writing.
She's doing architecture, and she's making an illustrated
book about works from Théo Van Doesburg and Le Corbusier,
between painting and architecture.
It should be great and very interesting.
Thanks to her for helping me in my work...

The cover (unfold):

Hi!

The painting is finish, I'll take some photos

Still working on Etgar Keret's book, and it goes
not so bad.
The layout is done, just few illustrations to
finish.

Here I post the unfold cover (back cover on the left)
I've just made few minutes ago.

Don't forget to comment it.
Thanks

sketches

2006-03-12T13:23:00.000-08:00

Have started painting a brand new illustration
for KERET's novel. For now it's just a quick oil sketch.

The portrait of the aikido man is almost done.

I post some sketches I've done this week end.

stand up 2

2006-03-10T05:25:00.001-08:00

The face is almost done, just have to correct the mouth a little bit.
The background is in position, with the bottom of the suit.
The top of the kimono may be retouch with the hands.
Finaly, I'll put the jo (wooden saber) in his definitive position.

Close up on the face.

Stand up portrait

2006-03-09T01:28:00.000-08:00

A portrait of a friend in his hakama traditionnal suit.
Just the begining, about one hour work, painting a quick acrylic undercoat on board.
But the result I'm loocking for not very far from that step.
I'd like to do something very pure, formal and graphic.
I'm gonna work a lil bit more the shadows and the folds of the top suit, and do the face, cause here is just a sketch.
I'm gonna do that with oil.
the bottom wil stay mixed with the background.

Here is a detail of the top of the kimono.

the red light...

2006-03-06T12:43:00.000-08:00

Just a photo I did with my digital camera, then Phtoshop.
I think digital photography is a great tool to work with, but will never match with traditionnal, like an old single lens camera, a good room, working in the red light with developer...so good.

Until the day I could go back to a processing room, I just take pictures of my girl on the sofa with my poor little digital camera.

Painting Fish

2006-03-06T02:32:00.000-08:00

Here is a new image I'm working on.
It's oil on board.
This is one of the 10 illustrations I'm doing
for ETGAR KERET's "Man without head" collection.
This fish is for a news called "le Flétan" (halibut in english).
Go read KERET's stuff, it rocks!!
(Actes Sud publisher for the french edition.)

Put the painting in Photoshop.
It's just a test, based on a photo, not scanned yet.
More work will be done.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
