Flash forward to the now.

Here it is folks.
This is what i am up to these days. I have been fortunate enough to be working on my projects all year. Here are some sketches and colour renderings of characters from my book. And as a treat, i have added the teaser poster for this particular project.
My search for publishers will soon follow. I've never been this far off in a personal project. Hopefully, this will generate interest and get my foot in the door.
Comments are more than welcome.

Intensive rehab !!

Drawing on and off for the past ten years really left my hand to be stiff and uncoordinated. Last summer I submitted myself to an intensive regime of comic books and everything else I could get my hands on to get inspired and get back to the comic frame of mind.

In my search, I found myself obsessed with the works of Alex Ross. I bought "Mythology. The DC comics art of Alex Ross" and stood in awe of his technique and body of work. WAW!! I would surely like to shake this man's hand and knock back a couple of pints and share "war stories".

I had spent a lot of time writing and the time finally came to see if I could get my hand back. These pics are a first attempt at characters from my book. Many more came after that, but I would like to show you the progression of my work as I go along with this blog.

Comments are always welcome.

A new beginning.

I went recently to the Montreal bookfair and the Montreal Comic Con and had my first contact with editors and artists in the field. What a rush it was to be finally be talking to some fellow artists. I have been waiting for 10 years now to start this journey.

In the last decade, I found myself working as lead designer and as an Artistic Director for many Design firms throughout Montreal and for 10 years I have put aside my love for illustration. I have now decided to re-invent myself artistically and throw myself in this world that I have been dreaming about for so long.

Take notice people. I am here and ready for some action !!
