I'm an illustrator since about I knew how to hold a pencil. Sure, I branched out in digital art and 3D, but I still love to draw with the good old pencil and paper !

Biography

I'm an artist, specialized in 2D art, illustration and character design, but with knowledge of 2D animation, story board, story telling, so a bit of a jack err Jane of all trade. I'm passionate about fantasy art, myths and legends, as well as monsters, creatures and others weird things crawling in the dark.

I have a background in fine art and design, but I like to keep myself on my technological and artistic toes with self learning, currently on Moho and Blender! Learning never end !

I worked for different studios in video games, especially Prizee.com, Beemoov and Zigzag Island, on game as varied as browser games (Fast & Furax, Wafwaf.com), phone game (under NDA, sorry) and console game (Repetto: Naissance d'une Etoile, Garden Party, etc...), mainly as a 2D artist, but also in animation, with the dearly departed Flash.

( I also got lost in a few years in visual communication, which gave me skills in webdesign and desktop publishing, but my first love is still illustration and drawing. )

As a freelance artist, I did art for board games ( Nicolas Flamel's school, Hyde Park, for Jyde Games), but also paint over and illustrations touch up for animated trailer in the comic publishing industry, character design for indie game and a 8 years long webcomics, Here be Voodoo.

Nowadays, I'm trying to go back to the video game industry, for I believe it's the right place for me, my skills and my wish to create art who tell stories !
