You started off as a graphic designer, what inspired the transition into illustration ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started drawing in 2007, It was instinctive, not really a conscious decision.
\nDrawing was a necessity, a mission…
\nI’ve never really questioned myself at that time and still don’t.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose pens over a more \u00ab traditional \u00bb medium ? <\/strong><\/p>\n

A few years ago, I was really fond of oil painting. I’m more into pens now.
\nWorking with pens has strong limitations. Sometimes I add felt tip pens or pencils.
\nNot really being able to do corrections on the original creates a tension, you find yourself on the verge of failure during all the process… It’s like walking on a tightrope. Either you stay focused and walk straight or you fall!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who are these people you choose to draw ? Are they friends, acquaintances or simply strangers ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I draw the things that surround me. I always try to imprison a little part of my present life in each drawing. I like graceful girls and boys… Friends or strangers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who are some visual artists that influenced your work ? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I really like ancient greek sculptors, Italian Renaissance artists, Jean Cocteau drawings…<\/p>\n

Music and literature seem to play an important role in your work. Any bands or books you\u2019re really into right now ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ariel Pink<\/a> is a great musician.
\nMusic is a companion, not really an inspiration.
\nBooks are more important to me. French litterature. Sagan, Cocteau, Mauriac are my favorites at the moment.<\/p>\n

What was your inspiration for the Kitsun\u00e9 collaboration ? <\/strong><\/p>\n

As I was looking for an idea related to music,
\nI instantly thought about music equipment – I love to draw audio gear!<\/p>\n
