'Super Petit Coq' Pattern

This is my submission for Illustration Rally's Pattern Rally. Actually, I am not done with Super Petit Coq, as the latter will see itself dressed in colours, and it will be the first illustration for my new cards series. I am also thinking of having that pattern printed on canvas tote bags - it may turns out to be lovely. So See you soon Super Petit Coq, with your garment full of colours!

Give way to the blog's first Giveaway!

Today was the first day of my Summer Holidays - at last! Exams are done, and from now on, I can devote my time to doing what I like the most: drawing, writing, reading, and taking photos (and of course sleeping).

Over the next few days, I am going to make new illustrations. I would like to give away a card from the former series, in order to celebrate the first sell I made a few months ago (I managed to sell eight of my cards to a shop near Paris), and to thank you for being interested in my works.

I hope that many of you will take part in the giveaway. To that end, you only have to post a comment under that post. Do not forget to give your first name (or your nickname), and your e-mail address - so that I can get in touch with you if you are the winner.

The deadline is July 1st 2011.

A mosquito trapped in a colour wheel

Last year, during summer, I remember that I was sitting on the sofa, in the living room, reading a book about colours. It was a very hot evening, windows were wide open. A dauntless mosquito got into the room, and sought to have a taste of my sweet scarlet blood. I was quite defenceless against my foe. As a last resort, my book came to be used as a shield. When the mosquito drew closer to me, I merely closed the book. It got squashed, and the colour wheel captured it.
Now, a portrait of the vanquished mosquito is to be found on my desktop, as a hunting trophy.
