Another design for my new book.
I officially fail at updating. But here are a few new things. I might be fiddling with the site over the next few weeks, hopefully I won’t break anything too bad and it’ll stay up.
A lot of stuff has happened to me in the last 6 months. I have been doing a fair amount of freelance that has been holding up my fantasy comic. Did some work with Blur Studios on a Heavy Metal movie pitch they were putting together which was a great experience.
I also broke up with my long time girlfriend and have been trying to center my life again. More or less successfully at this point in time. Thinking a lot about how little all the crap I own matters. Trying for a more minimalist lifestyle. And stuff like that.
Somehow I got conned into joining Facebook. I mainly use it for personal friends. But if anyone I know out there is interested:
Anyway, more soon, I promise 
My trip to France went well. Despite the 22 hour flight, getting sick half way through, and realising that signing books is actual work :)) fun was had.
Shoutouts to everyone I met over there. It was nice to catch up with all the people at (and around) Editions Delcourt who I have been working with remotely for so long .
I probably sketched-in/dedicated about 200 books by the end of the trip. Constantly reminded how much of a newbie I was at it by my signing buddy Jerome (Artist of 7 Voleurs and storyboarder for 7 Pirates) who continued to draw and ink large pictures of people fighting dragons and riding horses etc in 10 minutes…
Anyway, the above pic is another character design for my planned untitled fantasy comic. (I have mostly abandoned the idea of flat color for now)
I am off to France this week to sign copies of 7 Pirates. If anyone wants to check the adgenda for where I am going I think the Delcourt Site has locations and dates. The first one is on the 29th (at a Virgin store in Paris), and the last one on 9th of November (at a store called Brüsel in Bruxelles). With lots more sprinkled in between.
The first time I have done anything like this and I am looking forward to it
Here is another small thumbnail creature design I did last week:
Some more designs for my next project.
I have been doing concept design for other people over the last few weeks so no chance to do more on this.
I got my copies of 7 Pirates in the mail today though :)) kind of scary and fun at the same time…I still can’t wipe the stupid grin off my face every time I look at it.
