COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Grand «Lucky Luke» Exhibition!

Right tomorrow, there will be the grand opening of the most comprehensive - on a world-wide scale - Lucky Luke exhibition at the caricature museum in Krems, Austria.
My buddy Achdé (successor of Lucky Luke creator Morris) is the artist behind this European comic book legend. I'm so much looking forward to it! Here's BTW a pencilly little hommage I did the other day, 'have to clean that up sometime soon for him...

New York City, 1979

Colour references
The last four pics here are from 1959, 1965, 1969 and 1971 (all images via Vintage NY).

Ferrari 250GT «Breadvan»

To me, one of the most exceptional sportscars every built. Its shape is BTW one of the main references for the final design of John Starduck's rocket-ship.
