Wow, what an Incredible week I just had!
Lot's of cool stuff happened to me, starting with ARION ANTICIPATION's lounge night.
I drew a Live painting (with photoshop, projected on screen) and it was awesome!
I had 20 mins to do a pic inspired by the anticipation universe...wich can be pretty abstract, while the autors where reading parts of their books. A D.J. was also spinning records. The show went so great that It made me want to to it again, maybe assosiated with a dj or something, but next time I would like to do it on a longer time period.
So if any of you read this and know a dj that would be interested just e-mail me, it could be great fun! here's the speedy that I did:
Oh, and while we were testing the projector I just messed around and did a girly face, wich stayed on screen for a while before I did the real one!

Later during the weekend, One of my friends that works over at CONTROL (skateboards company) gave me the 4 boards that I designed last year, it's awesome to look at and made me want to do more of them! I'llpost some picture later, the battery on my camera are dead.

Right now I'm working on a logo for a great band not related to indica.
I hope it works out well, I'd be really proud.

I saw THE FOUNTAIN for the 2nd time yesterday. It is without a doubt my favorite film this year. also got the soundtrack, all of you should experience both!

later

ARION ANTICIPATION (again...)

I will be there and do a live CG painting projected on screen.
It will be cool!

VENEZ VOIR CA!!!

ARION ANTICIPATION

This is a MEssage that was sent to me By Maxime R. Desruisseaux the Guy behind ARION ANTICIPATION!:

Bonjour à tous,

Je vous écris aujourd’hui pour vous annoncer que, ce vendredi, 24 novembre
2006, Steven et moi organisons le lancement de notre collection Arion
Anticipation, au Boudoir Lounge de Québec. Plusieurs d’entre vous sont déjà
au courant de l’évènement (et vous viendrez) et, pour les autres, je sais
que je suis un peu à la dernière minute, mais je suis persuadé que vous
trouverez un moyen pour venir nous voir et participer à la belle soirée que
nous vous avons préparé.

Donc, ce vendredi, nous lancerons les quatre premiers tomes de la collection
Arion Anticipation, qui publie romans et nouvelles traitant de l’avenir de
notre société. Pour l’occasion, les quatre auteurs seront présents et vous
feront découvrir leurs livres via un concept très original que vous pourrez
admirer de vos propres yeux.

Également, il y aura un défilé de la collection automne-hiver de Hugo Boss,
de très bons prix sur les consommations (pour ceux d’entre vous qui ont des
enfants, c’est un établissement réservé aux 18 ans et plus, alors vous
devrez vous trouver une gardienne ) et de très beaux prix de

I'm at a friends apartment and I just woke up.
Yesterday I went to the "lancement" (?) of Grimskunk's new album.
It was pretty sweet, they made HUGE banners with my art so yeah I was stoked.
I was even asked to sign a poster...NICE!

you can check out some of the art here: http://www.grimskunk.com/

also, LECTEURS.ca wrote a little thing about me and my CAZE here!

and I cant post new art here, sorry.

later!

CAZE

Hey I jsut added my weekly strip in the links named C A Z E
check it out and leave me a comment!

Here are some sketches n' ideas...

Based on a true story...

Done after photos...

...Not real Life.@__@
They were given to me by my friend Sam , a cartoonist that posts strips on Lecteurs.ca, like me!!
you can check out his "RAGOÛT" here
or here!

One angry Smurf

This is a sketch I made a couple of weeks ago while I was invited by the fine folks over at Lecteurs.ca . It was actually In St-lambert, I was hungover and didn't eat that day. I had to draw one of my comic strips "C A Z E" LIVE N FRONT OF EVERUBODY!!! So just to get me a bit in shape I asked someone in the (very small) crowd if they'd like me to draw something...anything!
"UN SHTROUMPH!!" (or smurf) someone cried out.
well that's what he got.

Lupin the IV!

hey.
I did a little painting for my cat.
Other that that, The work I did for Tokkun turned out great. Unfortunately I can't show anything...I signed a contract for that n' all, but it's sweet!It's all about pixels again so I'm happy.

Playing Slinter cell Chaos Theory cause I don't have a x-box 360...
And tomorow, I will start to cook seriously again, yeah I'm really taliking about food here.
I also watched Narnia Chronicles, and I really didn't like it..It strted out great but then everything became cheap LOTR. Sometimes I really hate medieval stuff.
I need to watch more interesting movies again...so many of them out there!
I will post some of the nude models I've been drawing for a couple of weeks now.
soon.

we are blind...

just a little digi painting...

more stuff from meeee!

ARION ANTICIPATIONS books came out!
I'll post a link where to buy them soon...

presentlry working with TOKKUN Studios...more of that soon too

300

This movie looks amazing!
I really enjoyed the comic, and It seems very respectful of the original.
Made a little fanart to show the Luuuv!

I realised that I suck...

That's the reason why I'm gonna take some life drawing classes, starting tonight.
I learned a whole lot of things in that last 3 years...but I didnt progress in drawing!!!
here's the proof of my lazyness:

*the rules were simple; one brush, one layer, no tricks!

This is what happens...

When you make bad jokes...

speed paintings...

about 20/30 mins each...

no meaning

Made this before going to bed...
It has no meaning at all by the way, exept perhaps that comics never really paid me.
be back with more stuff soon!

CRAZY WEEK

Indeed, I have passed one crazy week in Montreal.
Thanks to JC, MArie-P, Mika and Doomas for leting me sleep in their home.

I met some very interesting people in very bizare circumstances...
Not much I can talk about, But I will be able to show the artwork I've been doing for Grimskunk real soon!
In the meantime you can check out GrimSkunk's website to see the cover.

Oh and here's a little sumthing to keep you guys guessing...

violently happened

whoah...so much stuff has happened since my last post..
I finally had my operation, I'm a woman now!
yeah It feels really good to know that It's okay to be a lesbian with my girlfriend now...
hunh...

KickAss show violently happened last saturday.
It was awesome and brutal.
lot'S of really great bands were rocking and I met the guys from BIGWIG.
the Only little bad thing was...well actually it's a big thing...is thatIf any
It rained most of the day, and since this is an exterior show, well alot of people didin't show up.
Usually the kickass holds between 2000 and 4000 people.
So this year was fucking tragic for the organisators...(my cousin is the founder).
I spent all day thinking that if I was millionaire I'd help him out.
If any of you happen to be rich or just really generous give some money to KICK ASS
This is kinda important cause the staff really put all their energy and heart into this, they are really professional and it would be a shame that a show that encourages Quebec's hardcore/punk/metal bands fail just because of a rainy day.

...
