The ink-sketches further below are my research drawings for this little project I worked on with Dale Hayward. - The clip was made for stereoscopic cinemas. So you don't really see the the full effect of this camera move.

Elements for A World In Sepia

I draw these illustrations with sepia ink on arches smooth paper. Then the scanned drawing is cut out in Photoshop (thanks to Shannon for his help and patience :0) ), and then exported to After Effects. Each element is placed along the camera track that my buddy Dale creates in AE. The technical process to make everything work nicely for the stereoscopic screening is complicated.
- I don't think this has been done before using After Effect. But what can I say Dale is a wiz!










If you happen to drop by Quebec City you'll have a chance to see this little part of a short film called "Facing Champlain" in the Museum of Civilization. It'll show there for ten years.

Portraits

During my stay in Berlin and Munich I drew hundreds of faces
I observed in the train. Many were just studies.
But sometimes I witnessed very personal and touching
situations. Like the young woman above:
She talked about her friend's deadly car accident.
After she hung up she stared outside the window...
feeling 'empty'.

But most of the time people were just tired.
Either because they were in the state of waking up
or exhausted from a full day of work.

The Three Graces

200cm X 150cm




Preliminary sketch.
Pen/Ink/Pencil

The Three Graces Aglaea, Euphrosyne
and Thalia are the personifications of beauty,
harmony and grace in greek myhtology.
Most of us are familiar with the hundreds of paintings
and sculptures depicting this myth of eternal youth and harmony.
With my version I took out this myth.

Looking at these images that are hundreds of years old
I came to think.
How would they look like aged?
What would really happen if these three women
were staying together all their lives?
Being in a gentle embrace and holding hands every day,
naked, dancing, singing, reciting poetry ...
At one point they have to get on eachothers' nerves.

KOLOSS

SOLD



This painting was inspired by a fight I witnessed
on the street in Berlin.
An angry guy (on crutches) grabbed somebody into his face.
The contrast of proportions between the two
turn the scene into the grotesque.

To add more weight and movement I lifted the
legs of the Koloss in the preparation drawing
(mixed media on mezz. 5 X 4 feet)

The pen and ink drawing I did a few years ago.

It's not too obvious in this little pic. But I used bright orange as an underpainting.
The white snow becomes more vibrant that way.
