At the Root of the Stars



At the root of the stars


My submission for the Amelia's Magazine 10th Anniversary open brief, 'That Which We Do Not Understand', is at last finished and is entitled At The Root Of The Stars. Fingers crossed.

I have always been fascinated by storytelling and superstitions, the fertile imagination people have when they try to explain the world surrounding them. My illustration is somewhat a celebration of that imagination. To add my contribution to the great tapestry of tales - as I like to call it -, I came up with my personal explanation of the origin of the stars, how they were created.

It all began in a far off forest, at night, a very long time ago. A witch and her unicorn were weaving stars while crows hung them up in the sky. The witch cut her beautiful red hair and let it spin into golden stars with the help of the unicorn's corn. There are references made to the spinning wheel, the idea of weaving, spinning - a beautiful allegory for storytelling.

Amelia Gregory, the creator of the magazine, has launched a KICKSTARTER campaign to fund the publishing of a limited edition book and fine art prints (beautiful prints with real gold leaf!). Many very talented illustrators have taken part in this beautiful and exciting project - Anna Jane Searle, Daria Hlazatova, among other amazing artists! Your help in spreading the word and supporting the project would be very much appreciated.

Librairie


I barely got home after my Summer holiday in Poland and I am already back at work, inspiration filling my brain more than ever.

Librairie is my submission for the Mail Art Exhibition set up by Squame and the Slow Galerie. The theme was 'Make a wish'. I will let you figure out what my wish is :)

The original artwork will be available for sale, should it be selected for the exhibition at the Slow Galerie in Paris.

I was very much looking forward to showing you this. Last February I took part - for the very first time - in the annual event famously known as Secret7". My submission was not selected in the end but it was worth the effort! Click on the animation in order to see the sleeve. For those who are interested in seeing the submissions that were selected: Secret 7" Gallery.




The song I illustrated is Grounds for divorce by Elbow - inspiring song!

'Super Petit Coq' Pattern



This is my submission for Illustration Rally's Pattern Rally. Actually, I am not done with Super Petit Coq, as the latter will see itself dressed in colours, and it will be the first illustration for my new cards series. I am also thinking of having that pattern printed on canvas tote bags - it may turns out to be lovely. So See you soon Super Petit Coq, with your garment full of colours!

Droping down dead actually



Nine days have passed since my last article – a quite boring article for those who hate pigeons – and I am dying to hang myself, but I am too tired – or too fearful. No sooner have I started the second year of my studies (Anglo-Saxon Litterature and Civilization) than I am already weighed down by work and things to settle. I cannot find the time to update my beloved blog, keep on doing my illustrations and start a new series of photographs. This is so frustrating! Every time I get back home from university, I plan to pull myself together in order to draw and take new photographs, and in the end I fall asleep. When I wake up, I just have time to do my homework, to eat dinner and to take a bath. It is infuriating not to have time and willpower – I always fall asleep, is it because I am really tired or because I am lazy? – to make the things I have the urge to do.

I have to get used to my new timetable, then everything is going to be just fine! I have to get fit again.

To put it clearly, what happened during these past nine days? I have discovered that even if I succeeded in moving up to the second year of my studies, I will have to pass the exams of History of Art again! I have had it! Teachers are planning to go on strike again, we will know in November. They also love to give loads of work to do at home and to tell us we should bring ourselves up to the required standard; is it our fault we did not have class for six months, last year?

The pigeons are fatter than ever and do gain strength, this is great!

I am getting weak, could someone slap me in the face?

My willpower is telling you, I will keep on drawing and making photos!! I can do it!

About the photo contest organized by the Hauts-de-Seine (see the article), I just wanted to inform you that I lost :) – I am too tired to feel something. If you are interested in seeing the six winners, here the link: http://www.hauts-de-seine.net/loisirs/visite-touristique/ete-92-concours-photo-

Photo Contests



I do not remember if I have told you about the two photo contests I took part in, a few months ago. The first one was organized by the Museum of Art and History in Colombes, the subject was : Colombes, to the very heart of the areas – “Colombes, au Coeur des quartiers”. It was not the first time I took part in their contest - every year they do organize a photo contest. Last year it was Water in Colombes – I was 8th. They always ask to make black and white photos, without any photomontage. This year, the subject – to the very heart of the areas – was a bit problematic as I do not know by heart this town – Colombes. I did not have time to wander the streets. Unfortunately, I lost that contest; I think there was a lack of motivation.

The second photo contest was organized by the Haut-de-Seine department. People had to make photos of their Summer in the department. We still do not know the results. I think I do not stand a chance but we will see. I took 5 photos. You can vote for my photos on their website (page 39). You have to give a mark between 0 (awful) and 10 (gorgeous):

The photos are not amazing, I know, I did not do my best as we lose our copyrights in this contest. But, I really love Le chat qui voulait être sauvage.

I'll show you later the photos of the contest Colombes, to the very heart of the areas, as I do not have them for the moment - I feel ashamed - I'm sorry.

About The DeviantArt Contest



Do you remember the contest I talked about earlier on this blog ? Good vs. Evil! Wacom and DeviantArt chose today, the 50 semi-finalists and I'm not one of them. If you want to see them, here you have a link >> http://news.deviantart.com/article/81431/ I think that my works were a bit too nonconformist...

Contemplation



Today, I submitted a new photo for the DeviantArt contest. The contest deals with the theme "Good vs. Evil". I worked hard on that photo and I tried to avoid Manicheism and naivety. I hope you'll like it. I worked above all on the colours and the setting. Not so many textures as I do usually ;) a change for the better?

Have a nice weekend Folks!
