This is a painting under painter I did originally as a demo in Paris at the Japan Expo - This is becoming the stating point for a little fold up square format comic book - a mere pretext really - I am working on right now.

This one is an illustration I did to celebrate the coming of a long awaited collective illustration book I contributed to - Café Slalé's first Art Book - which featureed at the Japan Expo in Paris in July 2007.

I was so pleased with the result and so happy about the week end of signing that I made an hour long video of the making of the illustration - if you want to see it you can find it on my blog Here:

A little warm up picture I did in January, I hadn't painted for a little while and doing it restarted the engine so to speak... I haven't stopped since then

hope you like it.]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 18:18:50 +0000 http://theblackfrog.cgsociety.org/gallery/522172

This is a little painting I did while talking to Marko at Massive Black... I was high on Red Bull and really excited about meeting the guys for the first time... I didn't sleep, i just talked and drew all night... I changed this one over and over and that's what came up at the end... the composition is crap and the colors a bit garish but I thought the thing fun enough to keep it from the trash can.

Hope you like it.

Take care

This one was a research on some grim/sad/poetic mood for one of the cities featuring in an eventual graphic novel
done in an evening under Photoshop CS
Maybe London, maybe Chicago... more a visual metaphore than any specific city.

Crits welcome.
Take care

An afternoon Photoshop job.
City mood concept for a Robot movie pitch.
For this one I scaned a pencil sketch underneath.
I don't do that very often.
Hope you like it

A day worth of work on this... done under painter"5" (I know it's now a dinosaure but I still like the brushes)

Always loved the character and thought that I could start to make a serie of illustrations on the subjet for fun.
hope you like it.
take care
crits welcome
