Salut tout le monde !

Pour le moment, seulement deux prints différents, mais la boutique s'étoffera au fur et à mesure (si ça marche)...
Allez y faire un petit tour ! [link]

Salut tout le monde !

Je poste les premières pages dans ma galerie, j'espère que vous aimerez !

I'll sign my sketchbook at the Angoulême comic convention in two days...
It's the biggest comics festival in France, I'm really happy to sign my first sketchbook there.
So if you are in the neighbourood, come say "hello" !
I'll be at the Comix Buro table, H14, at the Para-BD tent.

Petite info : je dédicace mon sketchbook d'Angoulême dans deux jours !
Je dois dire que je suis super content mais que la pression monte, c'est mon premier festival d'Angoulême !
Si vous êtes dans le coin, n'hésitez pas à passer dire un petit bonjour !
Je serai sur le stand Comix Buro, H14, espace para-BD. Horaires de dédicace ici : [link]

The sketchbook is printed !
My publisher send me some photos... Can't wait to have it in my hands !

Hey !
I totally forgot to talk you about this android app : 365 pinups.
I participated to this project with many great european artists, like Alessandro Barbucci, Mathieu Reynès, Ingrid Liman, Biboun, Grelin... (some of these artists are also on DeviantArt). Everyday you have a new beautifully drawn pinup on your phone. It's quite cool, isn't it ?
More informations here : [link]

Now, it's (almost) official. I'm really proud to announce that I will publish my first Sketchbook soon !
It will be published by Comix Buro ([link].
They have released sketchbooks from great artists like Olivier Vatine, Bill Presing, Dean Yeagle, and others...
I will sign the book at the Angouleme comic book festival (at the end of the month), in France, and it will be available online for everyone during February or March, I think. I'll talk about it later, and I'll post some excerpts soon...


Et en français, c'est plus facile...
Maintenant que c'est (presque) officiel, je suis très fier d'annoncer que je vais publier mon premier Sketchbook bientôt ! Il sera publié par Comix Buro !
Je le signerai en avant-première à Angoulême à la fin du mois, si vous êtes dans le coin, n'hésitez pas à passer me voir.
Je posterai la couv et quelques extraits très bientôt...

I want to wish you all an Happy New Year !!
I hope 2013 will be a great year for everyone.

And my new comic book will be out at the end of the month !
Like my precedent books, it will be in french, but you can take a look at the first pages here : [link]
I'll talk more about it soon...

Hey everyone !
I don't know if you know it, but I regularly post pin ups drawings on my blog, I call them the "HebdoGirls" (= WeeklyGirls). I have just posted the 100th today !
I want to make something special to celebrate it.
So I have decided to organize a small contest on my facebook page !!
Go take a look, it's very simple, just let a comment under the photo ! I'll pick a random winner in one week.
Good luck !



Salut tout le monde !
Je ne sais si vous êtes au courant, mais je poste régulièrement des pin-ups sur mon blog que j'appelle les HebdoGirls. Je viens de poster la 100ème aujourd'hui !
Pour fêter ça, j'ai décidé d'organiser un petit concours sur ma page Facebook !!
Allez y jeter un coup d'oeil, c'est très simple, il suffit de laisser un petit commentaire sous la photo ! Je choisirai un gagnant au hasard dans une semaine.
Bonne chance à tous !

As you can see, there were few updates these last months.
I was working on my comic book, I take some vacation in August, and I had not much free time for personal work.

But some (good) news :
I have (finally !) finished my comic book !! Which will be published in february 2013. In french unfortunately, but you'll be able to order it on Amazon if you are interested and if you just want to see the drawings...
I post the first page and the final cover in my DA gallery.
I'm currently working on another book (not a comic book), but I have no release date for the moment. I'll keep you posted.

I have also updated my portfolio : [link]. I'm fulltime available for jobs in animation or illustration, so feel free to contact me. Only for serious (and paid !) jobs !

And last, I'd want to thank very much for giving me a premium membership ! Thanks so much my friend !!

For the french readers :

Comme vous avez pu le constater, pas beaucoup de mise à jour ces derniers mois...
Pas mal de boulot (bouclage de ma bd), quelques vacances en août, et un gros manque d'inspiration ont fait que je n'ai pas pu poster grand chose sur DA.

Mais voilà quelques (bonnes) nouvelles :
J'ai (enfin !) terminé ma BD ! Sortie prévue en février 2013. Je poste la couverture finale et la première page dans ma galerie.
Je prépare aussi un autre livre (pas de la bd), mais comme je n'ai pas de date de sortie (sûrement début 2013 aussi), je préfère ne pas en dire plus pour l'instant et rester mystérieux.

J'ai aussi mis à jour mon portfolio : [link]. Je suis disponible à plein temps pour des boulots dans l'anim ou l'illus, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Seulement pour des boulots sérieux. Et payés, hein.

Enfin, je voulais juste remercier qui m'a offert un "premium membership". Merci !!

Many thanks to everyone who commented my precedent journal !!
I'm not able to answer to each of you, but all your comments were very helpful and some of them were very instructive.

Apparently, your preferred cover is the first one.
Some of you pointed out some problems on this one, I'll try to improve it thanks to all your advices.

But I haven't the last word on the choice. The publisher will decide...

Hey everyone !

Need your help and your advices !

I'm currently working on the cover of my comic book, No Limit, and I can't choose which final cover I'll use for the book.
I would like to have your opinion on these roughs... Which one do you prefer ? Why ? etc...
Let me know what you think in the comments !

      

(You can see bigger versions in my blog, here)

Thanks !

Hey everyone !

Just a small journal entry to wish you all a Happy New Year !!
Hope you'll accomplish all your dreams this year, in an artistic way or in your private life...
I take the opportunity to thank you all for all the kind messages and comments you send me last year, it's really motivating for me to read them. Thank you very much !!!

And I wanted to promote the work of my talented darling, the love of my life...
She has finally decided to post some of her drawings on her DA account.
Go let her some kind words of welcome. Her art is fantastic !!

It's here !! --- ---


For the french readers :

Ouf ! C'est plus facile d'écrire en français !
Un petit mot pour vous souhaiter à tous une Très Bonne Année !!
J'espère que tous vos souhaits se réaliseront !
J'en profite pour vous remercier pour tous vos messages, c'est vraiment très motivant pour moi, ça me permet de continuer à dessiner et de ne pas avoir l'impression de faire ça pour rien... Merci, merci merci !!!!

Je voulais aussi faire un peu de pub pour ma très talentueuse chérie, la femme de ma vie...
Elle s'est enfin décidée à poster quelques images sur son DeviantArt...
Si vous aimez son travail, allez lui laisser quelques mots de bienvenue !!

C'est par là ! --- ---

Hey !

I have the luck to participate in the big collective Pin Up Exhibition, organized by La Gallery Paris-Montreal ([link] and the super talented Maly Siri. ([link]

A year ago, I have worked on a short comic story for an anthology called Fusillade. It will be finally published this summer !

I'm so proud to be part of it, there are many great artists in this book : Antonello Dalena, Rad Sechrist, Armando M. Zanker, Régis Donsimoni, Francesco Abrignani, Lelio Bonaccorso, and Dustin Foust.

And it was a pleasure to work with the writer/creator Howard Shum (), he's really a great guy and a great artist.

You can read an interview of him and see some pages from the anthology here : [link]

And you can even preorder Fusillade at your local shop now or online, here : [link]

You can see some pages of my short story Wilde Agency in my gallery. Hope you'll like them !
