24h Comic 2016

This year I decided to take part in the 24h Comic held at the French Comic Book Festival of Angoulême.
The challenge is to create a 24-page comic using three constraints being unveiled during the event: the first one on Tuesday 26 at 3pm, the second one at 11pm, and the last one on Wednesday at 7am. I had to imagine a story in which: Character A is telling a story to some other characters, then Character B contradicts Character A’s story and at last Character C brings the story to a conclusion.


I had a story in mind and I asked people on Facebook to share their funniest / quirkiest / saddest love story with me so I could incorporate it in mine. I focused a lot on building the story rather than rushing to finish it, so I only managed to make 9 pages! Hopefully you'll enjoy reading it, and let me know what you think :)

workaholic


... but it was worth it, because I am now part of the 100 artists who will be exhibited at the London Transport Museum from May 15th til September 9th.
See the illustration below, and here:

Leadenhall Market - AOI Prize for Illustration 2015

Here is my entry for the #PrizeForIllustration2015 organised by The Association Of Illustrators and the London Transport Museum.
This year the theme was "London Places and Spaces".
I chose to illustrate Leadenhall Market as it's one of my favourite places in this city - it's a beautiful old building, so well maintained, with lots of pubs and great restaurant that shines bright amongst all the new tall modern buildings of the City. A true London gem!

Live Drawing at Jam Sandwich, Netil House



Last week I was doing live drawing at Jam Sandwich on the Netil House rooftop, and it was great. The musicians were playing for only 20 minutes so I would have to draw them really fast, and in the times off I would draw people of the audience at random and have the wonderful Rachel Casey delivering the drawings to people in a little envelope. It was so nice to be able to see the authentic reaction and surprise on people's faces (yes some people were slightly creeped out :)). Looking forward to more gigs like that very soon!
