Long time no see...

Everything is fine, thanks for asking...
Can't really talk about what I'm working on at the moment, but will try to show some new stuff soon... For now, some zombie (of course, I'm such a poser)

3CH Speedpainting

2010-03-25T12:24:00.000-07:00

Something a little bit different than usually. Had to get back in the move after a crazy 24H trip so I tried a little warm up doing something fast (45min in this case) with the help of the 3CH (a random subject generator). In this case, the subject was : "a farmer dancing with a scarecrown in an air area".

the B#@#& is back !!!

Happy New Year 2009 !!!

2009-01-09T04:09:00.002-08:00

First, Happy New Year to everybody, and since posting without pictures is bad, let's put somes from an old project that might come back from its grave somedays...

The lyrics on the wall on the cover are coming from "I want a Monster to be my Friend" from Sesame Street. They come from the original version which has been banned from TV for beeing too creepy
("If I make friends with a friendly monster
I'll let him bounce me on his knee
I'll let him do whatever he wants to
Especially if he's bigger than me ")

Teaser #2

2008-12-15T16:00:00.001-08:00

Fan-art

2008-12-15T15:51:00.000-08:00

I was surprised to find this one since I lost most of my old work after my computer crashed last summer...

"Ain't it Cool News" Salvador review

2007-05-27T10:02:00.000-07:00

"Possibly the most beautiful comic I have read this year and most definitely the most visually pleasing book BOOM! has ever published.", this is how it's starting... Doesn't even match a hug from my daughters, but still a nice start for a day to read some stuff like that ;)
The rest of the review here

"Probablement le plus beau comic que j'ai lu cette année et sans aucun doute le plus plaisant visuellement jamais publié par Boom !". Voilà comment commence la critique du premier numéro de Salvador sur Ain't it Cool News, le plus célèbre site US de critiques de films et BD. Rien de comparable avec le bonheur de prendre mes filles dans les bras, mais c'est quand même sympa de lire ça de bon matin ;)

Go to have a look at the Salvador Myspace page here
Sebastian Jones himself is in charge of it and he's doing a really good job.

Allez faire un tour sur la page Myspace de Salvador ici
C'est Sebastian Jones qui s'en occupe et il y fait du très bon boulot.

Updates 2

2007-05-06T12:27:00.000-07:00

Almost forgot the stuff I'm working on at the moment... The covers for the issues 4 & 5 of Left On Mision, for Boom ! Studios. Check the official website for updates on this great project LeftOnMission.com
You'll even be able to see in the Team section my portrait by the Great Francesco Francavilla...

No connection with work except that I listen to this song something like 10 000 times a day this last week while I work :

J'en suis même à oublier ce sur quoi je suis en train de bosser ce soir, c'est à dire les couv 4 et 5 de la serie Left On Mission chez Boom ! Studios. Allez faire un tour sur le site officiel de la serie LeftOnMission.com Vous pourrez même y avoir la "chance" de voir mon portrait dans la section Team, dessiné par le Grand Francesco Francavilla...

Malgré que je ne comprenne rien en politique, que je n'ai jamais voté (je sais, c'est pas bien) et que je ne suis même pas en France, la pensée du moment, en ce dimanche 6 Mai à 21H sera : "...et merde !... "

Updates

2007-05-06T11:42:00.000-07:00

Long time no news, so here we go... Still working on the second issue of Salvador. I'm a little bit late on it, but I hope that the waiting will be worth it. The F(r)iend project still going fine (but still more than 100 pages to draw before November !). Did a 11 pages story with the Great Chris Ryall on the first issue of the Gene Simmons House of Horrors (for the ones who lived in a cave for the last 50 years, Gene Simmons is the singer and co-founder of the band KISS, amoung a thousand other things). I'm really happy that I finally had the chance to work on a Chris Ryall script.

Je n'avais pas donné de nouvelles depuis un petit moment, donc c'est parti : Je suis sur le deuxième episode de Salvador. Le premier doit être sorti ces jours-ci, ce qui veut donc dire que je suis un peu à la bourre... Le projet F(r)iend avec le grand Antoine Ozanam chez KSTR suit toujours son cour. J'ai aussi dessiné, sur un scenario de Chris Ryall, une histoire de 11 pages pour le premier numero de House of Horrors de Gene Simmons (co-createur et chanteur du groupe KISS... Excusez du peu...). Très content d'avoir eu la chance de finalement travailler avec Chris en tant que scenariste (qui est déjà, à mon sens, un des, sinon le meilleur editeur avec qui j'ai pu travailler).

Sebastian Jones interview

Happy New Year

2007-01-03T19:12:00.000-08:00

I finally did it !!! It was already one of the resolutions I had for the last New Year, but you know how it is with resolutions... However, it seems like this year a lot of things are finally happening... So here is my blog.
The new year starts like the previous one ended for me... A huge amount of work.
The big difference this year, is that I don't do colour jobs anymore, except on my own drawings of course. I'm gonna work on more interesting projects (even if I had some really nice ones last year too, like all the stuff on the -Angel- universe).
So a lot of new stuff is coming up (books, covers...), from the both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, some interviews and other things -nothing that I'm allowed to show yet-.
So Happy New Year, and soon, an update with pictures for all my fans (my mom and the baker)

Comme ça pète et qu'on est là pour ça, mon blog est donc bilingue. Comme je l'ai dit plus haut, je me suis finalement bougé pour créer mon blog après de nombreuses demandes (une ou deux en fait).
La nouvelle année s'annonce très chargée niveaux boulot, mais il semblerait que j'ai réussi a finalement avoir une majorité de projets funs et motivants (ce qui s'explique entre autre par mon arrêt des couleurs pour les autres).
Plusieurs projets bien sympas donc, aux US comme en Europe. Bientôt plus d'infos (quand j'aurai le droit) et des visuels (si j'y arrive, saleté d'internet)
Donc Bonne Année aux 3 internautes qui me liront, et à bientôt...
