I haven’t picked up a rabbit but a super rabbit to inaugurate my first personal project of 2012.

Parrabit (because he’s not a real rabbit > not a rabbit > “pas un” rabbit > parrabit) says, “don’t be scared to grow up your vegetables or you’ll become one of them”. Growing fruits is cool too. But carrots are the serious stuff.

As new year, new technique, or at least an improvement: no more black lines but (dark) coloured ones to keep colours bright and sexy.

The traditional carousel:

No matter how hairy, cold, lonely, poor or greedy you might be, the best present you can give to someone is your fluffy arms and (hairy) chest.

In one word, hug.

In two words, hug, love.

Improvised evening “song” about December, squirrels, nuts, guinea pigs, and childhood!

Crazy alien bear by juliendecaudin

New song! New song! New song!

As shown in the picture it’s about a bear, a crazy crazy bear, a “different” bear, and has been made for and through very positive life vibrations.

The outrageous lyrics

The first ever Ukulele Videotron goes deep inside but will keep it quiet outside.

Eat vegetables, eat fruit, and have a good day!

Following a uninterrupted flow of request letters from Videotron fans, I had no choice but to un-kill Videotron. As ever, it’s free of preparation, interpretation, qualification or consultation, and full of emotion.

Pimp on, Videotron.

This summer I walked behind a waterfall. And it was pretty damn good. So good that it became the theme of my next personal illustration project, named “fall” as summer should go retreat.

After a serie of competition-related illustrations (with some very nice surprises like this, this and that), I felt in need of going back to good old-school improvisation with a very little brief (“my experience of waterfalls”) and potential time to develop-it-as-it-goes.

As the following first steps show up, it’s been everything but obvious to start with, but it ended up somewhere I connect with and I vibrate for (it’s ok to vibrate). WTF man? Waterfall man.

Peace up.

Unsolicited + illustration = Ullustration: the latest entry in my imaginary dictionary.

So here is an ullustration based on an old New Scientist’s article, and illustrating how full access to amazing technology tends to make people unhappy. So it’s better not to forget that, the elephant, is very important (this is metaphorical and deep so I’m sure it makes sense).

The hacked article

Here is the latest bit of my summer competition frenzy: an illustration of the word “space” for the Space Exhibition which will be part of the Cardiff Design Festival 2011 this October.

It might be obvious but, in case it isn’t, the idea is to illustrate the constant need of urbanisation to take over space and potentially over our beautiful nature. As a result many happy mountain sheep ended up drunk in the big smoke. One interpretation out of many I hope (hint: keep mind wide open).
