“Une nouvelle mélodie progresse, froide et perforante en surface ; mais fugace pour les entrailles, elle s’incorpore à la chaleur humaine, l’entrave comme un virus. Le corps se disloque à nouveau : les dents s’enragent (bientôt), les veines pulsent à foison et rougissent, la peau s’écaille, se coupe, les sangs virevoltent et chagrinent les mémoires… puis rebroussent chemin, pour laisser un terrain dérangé, à aplanir, sur lequel on cherche à reconstruire, des choses auxquelles on est fatigué de croire.”
Drawing on-going, a piece which will be part of a future art show

Extraits de la première Session modèle vivant organisée par la team CFSL, qui a eu lieu hier dans leur locaux partagés. 2 modèles, 3 heures de poses chacune, la seconde était particulièrement inspirante et inventive ; on la voit dans la majorité des sketches ici :). Chaque pose durait 5 ou 10min. J’utilisais des crayons aquarellables et un peu d’acrylique diluée.
Ça faisait des années que je n’avais pas fait de vrai session comme ça, et ça m’a un peu réconciliée avec les crayons (l’ambiance était particulièrement studieuse d’ailleurs o_o). Un grand merci à l’orga ! / Info

Extracts of the first live model session organized by the CFSL team, 2 models, 3 hours of poses each, the second model was particularly inspiring and inventive, she’s present in the most sketches here :). Each pose lasted 5 or 10min. I used watercolor pencils and a bit of acrylic painting.
It had been years since I had not attended a session like this, which has reconciled myself with the pencils. The mood was particularly studious over there ! / Info

Extraits d’une nouvelle session de la semaine dernière, avec Ciia, Arthur de Pins, Thierry Rivière, HPX, Alexandra Petracchi, Boz, Thomas et moi (j’espère oublier personne :3). C’est très dark, désolée. Une vidéo japonaise a fortement influencé cette séance, attention c’est pas trop pour les enfants
New drawing session done last week, with Ciia, Arthur de Pins, Thierry Rivière, HPX, Alexandra Petracchi, Boz, Thomas and myself. A japanese video has strongly inspired this session, not really suitable for children

Description
While creating a new piece, a lot of trained artists already have a precise idea of what they are after. The picture they want to create is like a set destination, and they work rigorously until this destination is reached. While technique and academic training are necessary in the creation of any piece of artwork, some artists feel they are sometimes trapped by these and feel a need to free themselves. This often manifests with an artist being bored by his own work, feeling that he lacks imagination.
One can reasonably ask themselves if for such artists, these academic methods discriminate against the most unconventional ideas. And yet, these are the ideas I want to embrace and develop.
Rather than working with a set destination in mind, I like my personal works to take me wherever they want to go. Thus the destination is never set, it evolves during the making of the picture. This is the way I feel the most free, and this is the way that I feel my ideas won’t curb themselves to a limited space. To achieve this, I use a work flow based on spontaneity and instinctive feeling. Of course, a basic idea of what I want to do is necessary, or else it would be like closing my eyes and wiggling my hand at the canvas aimlessly. That starting idea can be anything, but I will use it as a starting point rather than as a goal. I won’t use construction lines. What I want is to explore the canvas in a more unpredictable way, and the key to that is to take advantage of accidents.
While my work can be described as being figurative, the path that leads me to that is a more abstract one. I feel that the more free I am, the more free the observer will be to interpret my works. Of course, such a free approach makes more sense in the context of more intimate, personal works.
Thanks NinoMojo -Romain- for helping me
to synthesize and write the concept of the video !

L’interview dont je parle n’est pas encore disponible, je travaille dessus Un teaser aussi est à venir. The interview is not yet available, I’m working on it A teaser is also coming pretty soon.
Je travaille sur une video tutorial pour Massive Black, ou je décris mon process de travail, elle comprendra 2 parties : Dessin au Pilot dans la première, illustration sur photoshop dans la seconde. La vidéo est réalisée par Aaron Fagerstrom. Il nous reste encore des choses à faire avant le bouclage, notamment les sous-titres en anglais, vu que je parlais en français :). Et il y aura un bonus… j’en dirai plus bientôt. Je peux cependant vous révéler les images, et annoncer que Clo aka Aurelie Neret a également une video tuto sur le feu
I’m working on a tutorial video for Massive Black (realized by Aaron Fagerstrom) in which I explain my work process. There will be two parts : an ink pen drawing and an illustration made in photoshop. We still have some work to do like the english subtitles, since I speak french. There will be also a bonus… I’ll tell you more soon And I can announce that Clo aka Aurelie Neret has done a tutorial video as well, available soon.
