Julien's

So I like curly stuff, rounded shapes, faces and fishes. And I’m back to colours.

Let’s pretend this is an octopus that meet an elephant while doing a round trip over another world. But I might be wrong.

I think I’m officially obsessed by clouds but this one is cool: it’s a chill cloud.

And this is another bizarre experimentation I started on a tube, developed during an interesting airport night, and concluded in the same hot tube.

…and don’t look around you might get excited.

A green thought that came during my last Eurostar trip to Paris, watching an infinity of identical character-shaped pylons in the middle of a beautiful land. Surprisingly inspiring.

I’ve been too busy to feed my blog during the past few weeks so, to keep the flow going, here is another free sketch experimentation from the (hot!) London underground. More to come soon!

Another mash-up of feelings I had while commuting. I can’t explain much but maybe I should try fishing again.

After a nice Sunday my mind turned into Videotron mode. Au menu, an other attempt of Complaint song (ex-Camper song for the fan – yes only one) and something I’ve decided to call Sweet song because it worths it. And err.. this is quite free.

Sometime, life can be challenging. The trick is to focus on the positive aspect of things. Use an hair-brush.

One day as I was working late, I turned my head to the right and saw the Oli’s machine in action. It made me think. But it’s cool I love this music :)

This mouth can’t speak.

If it does he will crunch the beauty inside.

This ear can’t hear.

If it does he will swallow the beauty outside.

This head can’t think.

And I can’t write.

After months Videotron is back but can’t do it too loud because there is a baby upstairs, I think.

I’m still wondering what’s going on in this black box.

A bit of style experimentation this week, it’s been hard work to retain from adding shades but very enjoyable to focus on shapes. As previously it happened in the (inspiring?) London underground…

Here is the latest of my commute time compressing sessions.

Well, I fooled myself on this one: it was late and I mix up the french idiomatic expression “faire un paté” (means to vomit) with “faire un flan” which means making a big deal out of something insignificant. So this guy’s been a bit sick and generate a proper “Flamby“… I know, it doesn’t make any sense, but it’s been another reason to draw something and there might be some hidden meaning in there… who knows…

After I had fun drawing faces from biscuits’ fat stains on my note book, I draw several random shapes and let me inspired by them to get the result above.

For adding the colours I experimented the use of vectors instead of my standard bitmap approach. I don’t understand why I haven’t done this before as it’s fast, clean, flexible and fun to play with.

Of course this is still a weirdo illustration of nothing in particular but it’s cool to me, I love exprimentation!
