Ancient Paris

Buried in the doors of the Ancient Paris, the rescued Graviton's pilot left his vehicle there, in front of the 2400 ft tall Eiffel tower. The team decided to leave the 30,000 lbs Graviton to age lonely due to a hostile environment...

Space Ship

My latest space ship sketch. I tried for this one to put my brain on the side and paint as I felt like it little by little. I still have too many layers but I feel like it's coming...





Syd Mead Lecture

Down in the "Progressions" exhibition in Detroit last week was happening a very welcoming cocktail with Syd and Roger. Having a glass of wine with them was definitely something I was looking forward for a long time. After a very interesting conversation with Roger, and after he signed my Sentury II book, I asked Syd Mead to sign it, as well as my "Graviton" print. The cocktail was followed by a lecture by Syd Mead in the auditorium, about his career, his challenges in the movie industry, his drawing techniques and also his wide inspiration sources.

Military? Maybe, I don't know

U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy or U.S. Air Force... I don't know. Just having fun with the model.

Green wind


Nothing fancy, just a rigid-wing-based speed vehicle featuring narrow wheels and a low car clearance.

Syd Mead exhibition in Detroit

- "Syd Mead Progressions" -
A one-of-a-kind exhibition featuring more than 50 original paintings from the master. A great event where I could enjoy his work from very close... Wow, it was just staggering.

Graviton "Syd Mead's style"

Wow, trying to sketch using Syd Mead style is really hard! I knew this was going to be a hell of a challenge, but the work of reflections, lights and atmosphere depth is highly exhausting. I learned a lot doing this sketch, as much as I had fun I guess. I could continue forever and ever adding details and stuff, but at some point, I had to stop.
