My first thought about the last Illustration Friday topic was that it will be quite inspirational but, finally, I went a bit further in the concept than expected and choose to sketch a guy who, after pretending too much, see his face on a mirror and don’t recognize himself… so he get surprised or even scared.
Here’s an illustration of how television can become a daily collective drug. Me and my partner used to fall on it before we realised how much time we spent watching crap programs one after another on a daily basis.
Here is an illustration done for the release of Little Big Bouche‘s first demo, the French Gypsy jazz trio I have been playing with for a few months now. As the artwork shows above, Aurore does the vocals, Yann is the guitar soloist and I do the comping. We play in the Django Reinhardt style, but, thanks to Aurore, we have vocals for both lyrics and improvisation on top.
Here’s my feeling about the last Illustration Friday topic: Vacant, or how to get very bored and depressed because of doing nothing or having no interest in anything. It’s not fun but it can happens sometimes. That’s why it’s so important to stay busy and to do stuff!
Last time I went to the London British Museum I found more interesting to sketch living people rather than static museum pieces. I saw this quiet old woman sitting and waiting for something and, maybe because of all these rushing tourists around, I decide to give her a kind of rejuvenation cure.
3 ans et demi que je suis professionnellement développeur web à plein temps après 6 ans d’études pour le devenir. Soit environ 10 ans de pseudo-réflexion sur mon avenir professionnel sans vraiment avoir fait le “choix” d’en être là ou j’en suis aujourd’hui professionnellement.
Il y a 2 mois, Aurore (mon indispensable moitié), m’a conseillé d’essayer la méthode de Nick Williams pour – littéralement – “devenir un entrepreneur inspiré”. Traduction: trouver le boulot pour lequel on est fait. Passé le côté business-oriented/cheesy/chaotique du site qui m’a d’abord repoussé, j’ai commencé à suivre le programme régulièrement (établi sur 9 jours/étapes) et à moins de m’être fait laver le cerveau j’ai trouvé les arguments et la façon d’aborder le problème de Nick Williams très pertinente et honnête.
