IF – fluid

pdebongnie — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:06:51 +0000

Thinking about the word, I did not see many ways to draw anything fluid in itself. And so I decided to work on the process of creation, these drawings were therefore done in a fluid manner, meaning quick and easy. And I think the end result still shows some of the essence of fluidity.

zero2illo interview

I am proud and happy to be featured on the excellent blog of Jonathan Woodward : zero2illo. I have been following this blog for some time now and I have to say it helped me a lot on the way to becoming an (almost) full-time illustrator and educator.

This post comes along with three illos I did, a full-length interview and you can find it here.

No comment on this one.

Illustration Friday – suspense

pdebongnie — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:15:26 +0000

I did not have much of an idea for the suspense theme and so I decided to go with what came first, a Hitchcock portrait. After all he is the one master of suspense movies.

Covered blog series

I have been a big fan of Robert Goodin’s covered blog for some time now. And over the last couple of years I did send him a few covers of my own making. Here is a series I particularly like. I keep thinking I’ll add to the series, I just haven’t gotten down to it yet. One day, maybe.

To see all the covers I sent him, go here

Duvel glass contest – I made it to the final

pdebongnie — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:20:58 +0000

Last october, I took part in a contest for the design of a new Duvel glass. The first part of the contest was open to public votes. I was so happy with my design I harassed all of my friends and contacts to go and vote for me, hoping to finish among the 20 first glasses. The second part was to get chosen by a jury to be part of the 12 lucky finalists who would go to Paris for the announcement of the result. And, well, the title says it all, I am part of the 12 lucky finalists!

Here is a pciture of the design I did and of the 11 other designs that made it to the final.

Illustration Friday – prepare

Thinking about this week’s word, I was wondering what was really worth being prepared lately. And the end of the world seemed like one of those things you’d want to be ready for…

Over the course of last year, I participated a few times at the “illustration friday” challenge. Here is a selection of my submissions.

For those of you that do not know the “illustration friday” blog, here is the description you can find on their about page:
“Illustration Friday is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation.”
