Albert the Monkey in action!

Slowly progressing on my book.... 

And some icons I did for Stickybeak

New website/portfolio!

Tada! I have finally my own website with my name and all like a grown up.

Now, you there, yes, you, give me some work!

Crest & doodle

There's a crest I did awhile back for Lionhart! It's now printed on cushions and cards.

 And a little doodle for fun!

Avant Card + still working on my book

I am very happy to have been selected to have my artwork printed and distributed by AvantCard!

And I am making some slow progress in between projects on my book. There are some snippets, and you can see the works in progress on Facebook.

Captain Blueberry's guide to warmth and comfort.

Just having a bit of fun :P
Sorry, it's a little bit small to read on screen, it will go on a A3 prints and will be decent then!

Snippets of what I am up to.

Some news!

Hallo hallo,

I realise I have been a bit slack on the promotion side of things on this blog! It must because it's all happening there. Yes, Facebook takes over, what can I say... :-)

So anyway, I have recently opened a shop on Society 6, where you can find some of my prints, t shirts, cards, pillows, etc... It's pretty cool, and I have received two T shirts yesterday, it took only a week to arrive from the time I ordered them, not bad hey! 

I apologize for using such weird models for the picture, fortunately those evil twins  do not bite too often.

There's also what is left of the range of screen printed t shirts I have done on my Etsy shop. 

I won't be continuing these models and colors, so if you like them go for it, they are the last of the last. 

 

Another good news for me, this summer I will be at Salamanca Market, selling all my products (t shirts, prints, cards, helmets etc), but I will let you know on this blog and on facebook when it happens. Very exciting!

And a photo of my store at the Market last November.

Voila! See you soon!

animal welfare card series

Last year I was asked to do a series of illustrations for AACT in a short timeframe. I always thought I could do something more with it if I had more time. So today I went back through my old files and did series of cards about the same issues and with the same given slogans.

The idea is to represent the multitude of animals being maltreated and how we humans forget that they are individual beings and not just objects called things like livestock. Regarding wildlife, I played with the idea of individuals versus multitudes and that they are often forgotten because we don't see them. They hide!

Just having some fun :-)

care for the earth

 

A friend came up with this idea and asked me to design it for a T shirt. There it is!

Vegan! Le choix de la Vie

Je viens de recevoir ma copie du livre "Vegan! Le choix de la Vie" de Catherine Hayel, avec une illustration de moi en couverture, et des illustrations de minna-art.com a l’intérieur.

Je suis ravie d'avoir été invité a participer a ce projet et j’espère qu'il touchera beaucoup de gens! Moi, et bien juste le fait de lire quelques pages m'a rappelé des convictions que j'avais un peu mises aux oubliettes (je suis végétarienne, pas vegan, et récemment je me suis un peu laissée aller!) et j'avais bien besoin de ce petit rafraîchissement!

Si vous voulez vous procurez le livre ou en savoir plus, allez faire un tour par la--> https://www.facebook.com/events/339549142803578/

Bonne lecture ;-)

In english:

I have just received my copy of the book "Vegan! Le choix de la Vie" by Catherine Hayel, with an illustration I have done for the cover, and some illustrations by minna-art.com for each chapters. 

I am very happy to have been invited to participate to that project and I hope it will touch a lot of people. :-)

My magazine is available for reading online.

I have just finished one year of full time studies while still working as an illustrator when I had the time and opportunity. I took on that graphic design course to refine my skills as it had been quite a long time since I finished my studies back in France, and years of traveling without working much in the design area had left me feeling not quite up to date with some stuff. This year I took on web design, animation and a lot of print projects.

My last project was this magazine. I must say I had very little time to work out what would be in the mag, the content, the articles, illustrations and layout, and it was a first time for me.

Lots of the articles are just a bit of fun and not to be taken seriously, it was also an excuse for me to showcase my illustrations in a different context ;-)

I hope you’ll like it!  

 

Open publication - Free publishing - More cb mag

Cb Mag is being born

My magazine for school is nearly finished, it's been a lot of work!

There's some snippets:

And an illustration I have just finished:

Sea Cucumber

Introducing the GrrrRREeeat Sea Cucumber! I am hoping to create a new trend here, yes. Tremble cute fury things, away with the owls and the foxes, welcome your new favorite! Yes, bring on Sea Cucumber brooches!! :D

Dinner's served

 I am doing a magazine (to practice layout and Adobe Indesign) and I am doing a series of illustrations for an article.

Dinner's ready!

Playing with Adobe Illustrator!

And one done with Photoshop!

No! I am not lazy!

No no no, I am not lazy. I am just busy. And I was on a very bad connection for awhile, which has cured me of my facebook addiction, but has made my professional life a little painful. The ADSL's now back, so there's what I have been up to:

A commissioned illustration of Hobart as lots of people dream it; A city ferry, a train, solar power, a hub for research, etc... to be printed on a postcard.

I have also done a first attempt at creating a typeface, more for the exercise and discovery than ever considering that practice seriously. Typography is a big scary world, and I think reading books about it and being amazed by typographer's work is as far as I feel comfortable with it right now ;-)

There's a lot more in progress, coming this way soon.

A tree made with typefaces

I don't think I had shown that one here... well, there is it! Something different for me, all made with type, time and Adobe Illustrator. 

Last Tree

For an upcoming exhibition.. I'll talk more about it later :-)

Giant Lion Turtle

Inspired by the giant lion turtle in the cartoon series The Last Air Bender.

Batman for fun!

Tada! There he is!

 I have been playing a bit.... Not sure if I call this one finished yet; Probalby not and I will touch it up again sometimes soon.

Did you guys find Batman's mouth hilarious when he talks (in the dark knight rises) or is it just me?
