The Retreat

This style of painting is out of my comfort zone but I wanted to try something different, moodier, with a more adventurous theme and set of techniques. Definitively a place I'd like to explore more in the future :)

Alternative Press Expo this week end!

If you happen to be in San Francisco this week end (Oct 12-13), don't forget to stop by the Alternative Press Expo at the Concourse! I'll be there at table 103 amongst other fantastic artists and friends, come by and say hi! :)

Bad Squids 2

Here is more brainstorming for that personal project I've been working on (which, once again, I will reveal when the time is right). Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think :)

Free Hugs

Halloween is around the corner! So let's draw zombies and other funny undead things!

Squids & Stuff

Sorry if I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been utterly busy preparing for the my expo in October. I've also produced by own little art book. I got a new printer (which cost me an arm and a leg) and decided to print the little bugger myself - and well, I'm quite happy with the result and glad that I stuck with it! As the title implies, the end result is nearly 40 pages of squids and stuff!

Alternative Press Expo 2013 !

I'm delighted to announce that I'll be exhibiting at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco on October 12th & 13th. I'm really excited about this upcoming opportunity! Please come by and visit me (and the expo) if you are in the area :)

I've started working on a personal project (which I'll reveal when the time is right) and I've been brainstorming ideas for the main character. Here is (temporary name) Zak! Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think, all of this is still a work in progress!!! Hayya!

Tilting at Windmills

Here is a recent pencil drawing I completed. I may give this one some colors soon. I started by drawing the demon like creature and I had a flash of inspiration, and though about Don Quixote, a classic novel that has always had some resonance for me... of course I had to add my own twist to the story.

By The Sea

This paintings has been on the back burner for a crazy long time. And when I say a long time, I mean a freaky long time. Two years! It started as a small pencil sketch and I thought it would deserve to be a painting. So, after two years, here it is!!

Please, don't hesitate to let me know what you think, comments are most welcome :)

The Teddy Bear

I tried to make time to work on my traditional painting techniques and experiment with various media. This painting was done in watercolor, some acrylic and ink. I still have a long way to go, but this was fun. That is definitively something I'll do more often in the future.

Ta-Daaa!

I started by drawing the little doggies, and I thought it'd be cool to have them do a doggie wall. Then I threw a ball in the mix, and added their cheerful owner. I had to, we all know that a good dog show must always have someone shouting "Ta-Daaa!" to be considered a success.

The Jaded King

If I were King, I would order pizza from my throne, I would wear flip-flops, I would make croissants a hard currency, I would legalize teleportation, I would wear my crown over my eyes to hide my frequent daytime naps and I would decree a no-light-night so that I could see the stars once more.
