Inherited from my recent holidays at Griffon Forest in the Yorkshire, here is the Griffonster, a weird forest beast spending most of his time eating squirrels, feeding rabbits and trying new haircuts.

This is a Sunday evening’ Videotron, second attempt. Again I started naked – not litteraly – and build up “something”. Oh and yes, this one is in my mothertongue: la France!

During last week’ Bobby McFerrin gig – amazing by the way – I got an idea, and a name for this idea: Videotron. I can’t really sort out why I choose this name but I liked it.
The idea of recording some kind of improvised performances – whatever it is: music, drawing, dance, singing, speaking, … – was there for a long time. So watching Bobby being so natural, free, happy (and he didn’t worry) in front of hundreds of people certainly make the connection in my mind to do something with these “happenings” that I generally share only with people in the same room as me.
For this first attempt I started with not much in mind, just my guitar in hands, until I saw Paul Arden’s best seller “Whatever you think, think the opposite“. So I really started from there and you might find that bad or not bad. Anyway, it just happened!

Here’s a colorized version of my last attempt to sketch my partner. It happened on the way back from our last Easter holidays in France and even if it’s still not 100% respectful of the original model, it’s quite a big improvment from my first ever try (yes, it’s the same person!).

First drawing attempt since I’ve finished my recent illustration course, I’ve started this from last week Illustration Friday theme: poist. But I also decided to follow my instinct and go for something which wouldn’t be under control. So I can’t give more explanation than that and just move on to the next one, hopefully soon!

J’ai le plaisir d’annoncer que ma trés chère moitié Aurore vient de donner naissance à son nouvel espace de liberté: www.auroremary.org.
Contrairement à moi elle est plutôt douée pour utiliser la langue de Shakespeare à son avantage. Mais Molière ne lui fait pas beaucoup plus peur 
Enjoy!

An illustration I’ve done few weeks ago for an Illustration Friday theme but forgot to post in time. I think I’ve been influenced by my children illustration course but wanted to do something a bit darker than the usual “happy child/happy world” parents are looking for their childrens.

Here’s my instant interpretation of this week Illustration Friday: Intricate. I tried my new eco-friendly wax pastels from Caran D’Ache for the first time and get impressed by how easy is it to mix colours together and fill up large amount of the spread very quickly.
It Might sounds silly but among my current illustration course, I’m just rediscovering how good it is to draw traditionnaly rather than digitally. The variety of drawing tools, papers, colours is a fantastic sources of inspiration and beat my old pixels friends. Well, I still like digital but I’ve just forget a bit too much about simplicity of paper!

The last two classes have been mainly dedicated to develop a character. I’ve ended up with dust…
