Going back to life drawing...rusty...Life drawing is always hard and challenging, no matter what. You always feel like on the edge and back to square one again and again. At least, I do...

Cleaning my files, I found some early development sketches from back in 2007-2008, when I was helping developing this amazing show with Mr. Bocquelet and the development studio team. I also did some storyboard on the pilot, but couldn't find any of it. I thought it'd be interesting for the fans out there. Some early Gumball doodles: When Gumball almost became a black cat. Some Miss Simian. When Richard was thought of as a blue dog: Hereafter are character ideas and concepts from different styles that could live in Gumball's world. Ben then chose his favourites. Some made it into the show some where left over. I'm giving them some public time here, so they don't remain forgot. This guy actually made it in the show, as an office worker. The original drawing of what became Principal Brown. Yes, Purple...don't ask why. Some more CN development posts to come soon, people!

L'ouvrage NEUFUNDLAND est disponible à la commande ici: neufundlandmag.bigcartel.com . C'est un projet collectif de bd auquel j'ai été invité à participer avec vingts autres dessinateurs.

Je tiens à remercier Jakob, Uwe, Sandra et Sebastian pour m'avoir invité. Je me suis bien amusé. NEUFUNDLAND is now available for order here: neufundlandmag.bigcartel.com .

For those who won't be lucky to get one, he...

Ma cop's Marion Montaigne , (alias l’hilarant professeur moustache) m'a fait l'honneur de me demander d'illustrer une carte postale du deuxième tome de son livre "Tu mourras moins bête" à paraître cette année chez Ankama. La phrase était imposée, et ce barbu m'a semblé idéal pour l'avoir posée. Elle illustrera cette note . I did this picture for the upcoming book of my good friend Marion Montaigne , famous in France for a drawn blog she does about science, which is hilarious. Each time, a fake reader sends a question on a postcard and she answers it it the most funny and unpredictable way, based on real scientific facts but speaking in the name of her avatar, the mustached professor.  She asked me to draw on of those cards. And it was fun! The text on the right says:"Why do all some women are a pain is the ass a bit complicated? BlueBeard"

Un strip extrait d'une bd de quatre pages que je réalise actuellement pour un ouvrage collectif qui sera publié en Allemagne. Here's a strip from a four pages comic that I'm currently doing for a collective book that will be published in Germany.

Je suis désolé de toujours laisser ce blog à l'abandon mais je travaille beaucoup sur de choses que je ne peux pas encore montrer. Mais j'ai tout de même trouvé un peu de temps pour faire cette petite lino gravure pour l'exposition collective "L'étrange Noël de Mr. Jack " à la galerie Arludik , à partir du 22 février prochain. J'ai l'habitude d'imprimer sur presse et j'ai donc un peu galérer pour le faire à la main avec des encres à l'eau mais après quelques ratés et beaucoup de persévérance, je suis finalement arrivé à quelque chose de pas trop mal. Et ça m'a aussi prouvé que c'était possible. I'm sorry I've been neglecting this blog so much lately, but I'm working a lot on things I can't show yet and it doesn't let me a lot of spare time to do other things. But here is a little something I nonetheless managed to squeeze in...   This is a linocut "homemade" print I did for the upcoming collective homma...
