This year I´m working on two comic books at the same time (yes, I like the general concept of PAIN). These two are graphic researchs to develop the two projects. To make it easy lets call them "Cobra" (Drugstore) and "Aurore"(Collection Metamorphose, Soleil).

Inking...without ink :)

2009-10-08T11:50:00.002+02:00

Too much time without posting new stuff...:(

Here´s a page entirely penciled, inked and colored on Cintiq (the lovely 12" one) and my good friend Painter X. You should try the "liquid inks" if you haven´t already!

The page is the first of four of a story for a collective artist´s book in France. I´ll tell more about it in the future. :)

Sketchtravel ...at last!!

2009-05-22T09:32:00.004+02:00

A week ago I was in Paris on a special meeting for the Sketchtravel book:

Gerald Guerlais, one of the heads starting the project;

Marc Aguesse, the man behind the matrix Catsuka;

Aurelien Predal and Mailys, the young talented artists who bring me the book;

Ben Fiquet, another all-terrain artist ,and my friend Victor Maldonado, one of the creators/directors of the Nocturna movie, also playing the role of camera man for the event. ;)

I wouldn´t like to enter in many details, but if the event was great to meet all this people, the chance of having the book in my hands was something out of this world. It´s really impressive to see the original art of all the people involved on it, and you can bet the responsability of beign the next one to do his part gives your hand a burning shake. Unfortunately I couldn´t work on the best conditions (nearly 8 in the morning, hotel room, after 10 hours of a stomach disease ...) , but it was a pleasure to do it anyway.

All my best luck fort the next artist, the amazing Juanjo Guarnido!

(and if I could tell you who will be on the next pages you wouldn´t believe me! Plenty of big names ...)

Have a great new year everybody!:D
Here ,some storyboards from the last book of Oz, the volume 3 that is going to be released this week in France. This part of the process is where I find more fun, as it is where it´s decided almost everything after the script, and you can feel you are "creating" something.

The End?

2005-11-17T19:45:00.000+01:00

The last week I finished the volume 3 of this books of OZ. It´s a strange feeling when you have been involved on something that deep, where you have put so much of yourself, and it arrives to the end. Maybe I should say "sad but proud"...Anyway, from here I would like to say thanks to all the people who has been supporting and encouraging me during the hard work, starting with my dear friends David Chauvel and Thomas Ragon, who have been so great that have made of this work something really special ; and let me say a big thank you to all the people at the forums of "Artbox" , "Catsuka" ,"CafeSalé" and "Naimoka" for being so nice and warm. And of course to all the people visiting this blog, near 68.000 visits from the begginning until today, and from many, many countries that I´m really impressed (And when I think I wasn´t sure that this blog would be a good idea!:-D). Thank you so much!
Now is my time to have a little rest and prepare the coming projects (don´t ask! it´s a secret! ;P) . I´ll keep posting here all what I can. It´s a pleasure!

Another illustration I forgot to post, related to the "more old work" post (see June archives). A bored girl living with her cat in a cold fisherman´s village, called Yulkukany, always waiting the return of her father (the captain of the old photo and the color pencils) .
