(French below – français plus bas) The last two months have been pretty busy – I feel like I keep repeating this as if it was some sort of excuse. It is not, not really. A lot of stuff happened in my life and I’m dealing with a lot of new things (adapting to my…
(French below – français plus bas) October has been a long, busy month. Two exhibitions, my mom’s visit, change of work, Halloween preparations, BofA preparations, evening classes AND Inktober. At times I was so tired that I couldn’t draw anything – it happened several times that I had to catch up on missed days! But…
(French below – Français plus bas) I just had a wonderful week of non-work that enabled me to get ready for the BofA contemporary art festival (so much packing, signing and little stuff to do that takes so much time!) and to (finally!) sew my halloween costume. I am so happy I own a table…
(French below – Français plus bas) It’s this time of the year again! 31 days = 31 ink drawings. I’ll do all of mine on A6 card and they’ll be for sale at the BofA festival (7th of November) £5 each – or the opportunity for people to grab super-cheap originals! So if you’d like a…
(French below – français plus bas) Didn’t you see? When you were commonly despicable, after they’d all been, the shadow growing under my narrowing eyes, my teeth clenching and my breath deepening. It was suddenly so cold and the silence was so heavy. I changed forever. My empty words, my dead stare, all the worlds…
(French below – français plus bas) I didn’t want to bother you with this series more than necessary as they are cheap small fun stuff that will look better all together, but as we are the 1st of September and as I’ve never been this close to Hogwarts (Scotland rocks)… Well, let me show you…
(French below – Français plus bas) Second of theses curiosities, a tribute to my favourite series of books of all times: Harry Potter. With Fluffy from the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, here as a three headed wolf rather than dog, also presenting the Three Ages: childhood with the puppy skull on the left, adulthood with the middle…
(French below – Français plus bas) As I already said, I am a former art historian. I specialised in the history of collecting, which includes the collection of oddities and more particularly these cabinets of curiosities, most of them showing a bric a brac of exotic animals taxidermy, fossils, pictures and engravings, and in more…
(French below – Français plus bas) Those who follow me on social media already know that I had a lot of fun this week. I spent five days learning the basics of screen printing with the amazing artist Diane Dawson at the GSA. We were lucky to be a class of only 6 – no…
(French below – français plus bas) Currently exhibited at Broadcast Glasgow as part of the Dreamscapes exhibition, here’s the third “Augure” (“omen”). It’s also the smallest of them (A4) and the first that isn’t a bird. Although terribly cute, bats are usually linked to horror like a lot of nocturnal creatures, especially to the vampire’s…
