1. Posters design:
Montreux Jazz Festival 2021: This illustration was created for the poster contest of that year on the theme "Restart".
Fondation de la Mer: Another poster illustration on the importance of protecting the oceans. This contest was unfortunately cancelled but I definitely enjoyed drawing this!
2. Children's illustrations:
I created these first illustrations for a short Christmas story called "The chimney" that I wrote a few years ago for my daughters.
The following character illustrations were made for another short story that I wrote called "The shell", about the unlikely friendship of two special animals: Camille, the tortoise born without a shell and Arhur, the clumsy flamingo that loves collecting human objects, making him an outcast amongst his pairs.
3. Illustration for "Celle qui attends":
I wrote this story in 2014 for the short crime story contest organized every year by the “Toulouse Polars du Sud” festival. The theme for that year was “One month late”.
I was awarded the first price and my story was published in the “Toulouse Mag” magazine of November 2014.
More recently I decided it needed some illustrations: I thus made one for the cover and one for each of the four parts of the story. I chose to give it a charcoal and ink drawn look (although they are digitally drawn), keeping the illustrations very dark to reflect the atmosphere of the story and using only red touches with a smoother finish to give it some contrast.
The short story, written in french, can be found on my blog macabanemagique.com
4. End of the year greeting's cards:
These last two years I had some fun creating digital cards to send at the end of the year. Another opportunity do create some new illustrations and test out different styles. It also allowed me to practise my animation skills...
Thanks for watching!
