Insomniac

Original poster I have designed last year for a good friend of mine Tarek Sursock's short film "Insomniac". I already previously did another poster for Tarek's other short film "The Shoes Maketh the Man" which won a few awards.

Taco Maniaco

I have designed this funny logo for a friend, Alberto Beka, very talented musician and co-member with Lori Steele of the electro-pop band Backnbloom. Alberto recently opened a taco truck in Los Angeles with two partners.

Backnbloom New Album

The second album by Backnbloom, "Music for the Modern Monkey" is available. I am really happy that two new cartoon portraits I made of the band members Alberto Beka and Lori Steele are on the CD pack. The album sounds great and leaves no doubt that this band will grow and evolve fast. Album available online and on Backnbloom's website: http://www.backnbloom.com/

Backnbloom

Cartoon portraits I made this year of a friend of mine Alberto Beka and his music partner Lori Steele.
The two of them form an electro-pop Los Angeles-based music band called Backnbloom.
Alberto is the engineer and guitarist, and Lori sings and plays the electric violin. The duo formed in 2009 and has released two albums and has performed in many clubs and events in the US. Their music is very cool alternative electro-pop of genuine quality. Check out their website: http://www.backnbloom.com/

So long, cowboy...

Jean Giraud "Gir"/"Moebius", immense dessinateur, artiste visionnaire, géant de la bande dessinée, s'est envolé hier 10 mars 2012, à l'âge de 73 ans.

Une bien triste nouvelle pour des milliers de fans, lecteurs et confrères auteurs, que ce Génie (oui, avec une majuscule) du dessin a fait tant rêver.

Giraud a été d'une influence majeure pour d'innombrables dessinateurs, moi inclus, et j'ai immédiatement voulu lui rendre hommage par ce dessin réalisé entre hier et aujourd'hui...

Jean Giraud, also known as "Gir" and "Moebius", one of the greatest illustrators ever, a visionary artist and a comic book giant, has just passed away yesterday March 10th, 2012, at age 73.

Deeply sad news for thousands of fans, readers and fellow comics authors, whom this Genius (with capital "G", yes) has so much made dream.

Giraud was of major influence on countless illustrators, me included, and I immediately wanted to pay him tribute by making this drawing this week end...
