Sophie's Big Adventure!

A little (portrait) illustration for my lil' sister's 25th Birthday.
A bit late though, she will be 26 very soon... a year late, shame on me!!

More TV ad concepts...

And some more, aiming more at the female attributes this time :)
Hope you guys like it.

Concepts for a TV ad

I have done those ones while I was working at MPC (Moving Picture Company) for an "Aides explore" TV ad. Don't even know if it made it onto the television but I had a good laugh doing it :)

Yuko working late

Patagonia cooking with chef Nicolas

Another sketch from my trip to Patagonia with a bit of photoshop on top.
This is Nicolas Lebugle who was skipper and cook on the boat. His cooking was great and we never ate the same dish twice in 2 weeks.
He also had a thing for cakes :)
What else do you need, great trip, great people and cakes!!

Very useful stuff this anatomy figure, glad I bought it :)

British museum

Went to the British museum yesterday with Sam (Rowan) and Simon, a fellow concept artist from Double Negative. It was during our lunch hour so didn't have much time but I could have stayed the whole day: there are so many amazing masks and artefacts in the African section that we visited. Also check out the amazing animal sculptures in "the Americas" section.

Another sketch in St James's Park

The fantastic adventures of Super PurpleGeorges!

A little update on some old sketches...

A tout prix!

Here is a promotional picture that I made for an old friend: Yann Danh. Not only a close friend of mine but also a very talented future film director. "A tout prix" is the title of his latest script so, fingers crossed for this one to make it onto the big screen ;)
Please don't mind the chosen font for the title, it's only temporary...

Check out his work on MySpace:

Messy messy...

St James's Park

Went to St James's Park yesterday with Yuko, nice and sunny... today it's raining.

Who's that guy in the mirror?!

Self portrait...

Little Yuko...

Here is a sketch of my little Yuko sleeping.

Utrillo

Someone brought a magazine on the boat with an article about the painter Utrillo: this guy had such an interesting life... and face.

A day in Patagonia

Just came back from an amazing 2 weeks sailing trip to Patagonia: we passed the Cape Horn!
The scenery was great, the crew was fantastic as well as the food (you wouldn't believe how much meat you can eat while on a boat :) Fantastic experience despite the bad weather: rain, hail, wind, cold, and sometimes a bit of sun.
I landed in Buenos Aires to spend a couple of days with Roland my old friend (who's been leaving there for one and a half year) and we took a flight to Ushuaia where the boat "Vaihere" was waiting for us.
I am thinking now about going to Antarctica next time...
Here is a picture of Eric the Captain who used to swear against the weather every morning.

In a zombie mood...

Have seen recently the latest Romero: a bit disappointing but enjoyable to watch despite the cheesy moments and sometimes lame dialogues.  probably more of a fan based movie than something which is gonna revolutionize the genre... anyway, it did put me in a zombie mood :)

Andre if you read these lines, I am looking forward to read your comic book ;)

Dom Vincenzo sent me...

...you know why I am here don't you?

J... Johnny, is that you?

Yuko + Laptop on a saturday morning in London...

My little Yuko checking out some japanese cooking blogs: in Japan, blogs are more popular and mainstream than anywhere else in the world and on these cooking blogs, a few of these amateur chefs have already published a book. Another guy had his life (blogged with force details) made into a TV drama. Oh my god, I sound like a tourist guide...
