Rough Digital Sketch
I started working on a new take on the CTN eXpo's duck, again strongly inspired by The New Yorker Magazine's corporate character Eustace Tilly. This time btw, the yellow eye patches are folded up...

Adobe Duck
John Starduck meets Adobe? Frankly, this is a piece I completely forgot about until last Monday. I was travelling back from Tigobo's Meet Ze Artists event in Angoulême to Paris by train together with Adobe's Stéphane Baril (super nice guy btw) talking about this and that in connection with drawing in Photoshop etc. Anyways, this very chat reminded me on this rough piece here below which I did for a live demo for my students in Salzburg. Trying to show how my digital rough sketching process proceeds. The detail with the Adobe logo was just added to make the piece sort of more significant.

Ze Team
Tigobo Animation Studios: Ze team, complete, at least for the most part. Arthur Fong was at that moment already on his way to Paris and Casey Maxwell Clair and Christopher Beaumont took the air.
Here are some impressions of the character design workshop Stéphane Chung and I were giving @ Meet Ze Artists. We were btw using one of Carl Spitzweg's famous postman paintings as reference/inspiration, here.

One, Two, Three, Four... Angoulême!
Here's a clean-up process break down in 4 steps. I branded this very piece with one of the Meet Ze Artists (April 19-21, 2013) event sponsors Caran d'Ache because it dovetails so nicely with the idea of the tree which grows blue col-erase pencils.

Motorbirdized Viking
My duck-buddy Jay Fosgitt ("Dead Duck") asked me to do a pin-up rendition of one of his Bodie Troll characters. I picked the viking and motorbirdized him a little. Here's the rough artwork and some process pieces, the finished thingy will be part of Bodie Troll issue #4.
