Here is another page from the book. I have been very disciplined to stay away from the PS3 over the Holidays so far, and have done 4 pages. This one is straight out of the oven. I hope to do a couple more at least before heading back to work. I have a blast doing that book, and never tire of it.

Cat Girl

Here is a little commission i have done yesterday. It had been a while since i drew a girl last.

"Cocoricooooooooooo!"

Preparing for the upcoming signing and exhibition/sale next friday (see card up there), i stumbled upon those couple of sketches. I admit not really remembering when i did those, (one of those drink/draw night i guess, with one drink too many). But judging from the chosen colours, i guess i must have been feeling somewhat patriotic then.....

PLUGGING TIME !!

Me and my friend Christophe will be at booth T0 5 at the CTN Expo, in Burbank.
I'll also have copies of my 2 previous sketchbooks "Diz Dat Doz" and "Diz Dat Doz Deux".

Christophe will have copies of his "Moonshine" Book , and buckets of prints from his own illustrations.

See you there.

another page

....this week's page... I need to find a way to be faster though...

Little session between Chris and i the other night. Everybody else was scared away by Chris' swift brushes and too tight "Marcel"....

I took the opportunity to carry on roughing out thumbnails for my graphic novel, "Ma Reverence", written masterfully by Wilfrid Lupano.

......and here is a little sneak peek at my forthcoming new sketchbook, published by my favorite comic book store "House of Secrets", in Burbank.

.....Brushes are getting a kick out of slumber.....

Hey guys!

After having been to San Diego Comicon for (only) one day, and picking up some cool books, i was motivated to draw for fun.

Here is another "Dear John" doodle, trying to be more illustrative than i have been in the past.

I want my drawings to convey a story first, and try to put more care on composition.

I think the "blacks" are very random and unbalanced here. The black pants/boots attract the eyes too much. I should have tried a few variations first. But hey....

I was kinda happy with the crossing diagonal lines, and the last minute "tags" on that sign though, for explicit mood from that poor guy.

I am inspired to draw some tender scenes of lovers too, and have a bit of fun with brushes and paper, since i mostly draw on Cintiq nowadays.

Tomorrow, tuesday 26th, the gang and i will finally have another sketching session, which we had to put aside for waaaayyyyy too long. I (or we) will share the moment.

:)

Another page from the French BD i am working on during my

(too little) spare time...

Amazing script from Wilfrid Lupano.

Cool little session last night.... It felt like we were back on the saddle. :)

I wanted here to do a little "style " exercise, minimizing the designs.

Chris' doodles, here. Of course.

Another little strip "out of the oven" from tonight...

........."Dear John".........

I have grown veeeeeeery tired of drawing chicks without context, like this kind bellow.

I am putting together another sketchbook and ran through drawings inspired by the DB's (http://www.drawingboard.org/) monthly threads for the past few years, and found myself

very sad of having lost that storytelling "drive", which was necessary for those back then.

So i decided to give a go at context once more, and called this sketch bellow "Dear John",

illustrating separation, obviously........
