Cesse de bouder



My friends are all dead (or almost) but i still cary them with me.
Mes insomnies me font faire des choses parfois que je ne saurais expliquer. Voici une étude de drapée sur une chaise. Encore une chaise, cachée cette fois-ci. Bien hâte de la redécouvrir.
Still life from my insomnia. A draper’s study on a chair. Maybe it’s time for me to go to bed after all, my day is not over yet. I will come back on this kind of study. I like to do it. I will try in daytime to see what I come up with.
As you could guest from my title it’s the famous scene in the Shining from Stanley Kubrick with Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall in the bathroom. Concept design for Birdhouse.
Nice to meet you !
Une recherche de concepts pour des cabanes à oiseaux.

J’imagine bien des oiseaux s’y nicher le temps d’un été pour fonder la famille.
Ici j’imagine une tête de lézard ou de dinosaure cartoon.
I thought that by adding small characters close to the tree a story began. what would that story be ? It’s up to us to create our story. I have no ideas why but it inspired me to create a forest of ghostly characters, hunting a forest.

My friends, my inspirational Artist from movies to littératures. Ghostly images in my memory coming alive in a forest. Don’t know yet if this will be part of a painting or stay as a drawing. Let’s see.

Hommage to one of my favourite film director M. Stanley Kubrick.
2001 space odyssey, Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon (best cinematography and the way he inspired himself from renaissance painters), Full metal Jacket, the Shinning and Eyes wide Shot. thank you for these great moments and memories.
