Chassez le naturel...

Caught in the middle

It's Friday I'm in... the mood for making a sketchless drawing of Hayley Williams in a cool outfit from the "After Laughter" era, while my computer renders some audio clips. Enjoy and have a nice weekend 😌✨

Summertime drama

An illustration that came out of the blue, over the weekend! I enjoy drawing kinda random-but-real-life-looking characters these days.

I couldn't resist participating in the #drawthisinyourstyle challenge by ungfio, which is one of my favorite artists to follow on Instagram 🌱

I am not posting much these days, and I am sorry ❤
My band Unspkble is going on tour for the next 10 days, starting this Friday! We'll be touring France and Belgium. Come and say hi!

Love is Love.

I thought this day of May 17th would be appropriate to explore poses and more sensual themes that I've never really drawn before (and without reference, lol). Should I draw more of these? Let me know 😊

My band

And now for something different: this is my band Unspkble! Please follow us here and there, or check out our website 🖤
We play post-punk / cold wave / goth rock like it was still 1985, with a bit more overdrive and delay. And we'll be touring all around France in June and beyond. We'd be delighted to have you ✨

Witch Fever

Two years ago I discovered this band with the song "Toothless", that instantly got me on fire! Earlier this month, they played in Nîmes so we went to see them-- and it was fucking awesome. I've been listening to their songs on repeat since then, and felt a need to draw something that would be reminiscent of this energy I felt during their show... a mix of excitement, danger, and well, bewitching? lol
Anyways here's my humble-but-flammable tribute to them! 🔥🤘

Told you I needed to get back on track and practice again, so I'm going to do that using my favorite character. This was made on Procreate, because we have an iPad pro at home and I've almost never used it.

Didn't practice for a little while, and I think it shows, but tomorrow is another day. Need to get back on track and draw stuff I like...

Spectral Foxy

I got a custom-made guitar by Atelier Bontemps, partially designed by me! 🔥



Last year, I realized that in spite of my years of writing/recording music and playing in bands, I didn't have any really good quality instrument. Not that owning some was mandatory to make music, of course, but I thought that maybe it was time to invest in one.
I discovered the work of Aurélien Bontemps via my good friend Jizuss, and decided to visit his workshop. After testing out a few Foxy models, and being totally convinced of their qualities, I started thinking about what I could ask for, and make a little photo mockup, based on one of the existing models... And Aurélien agreed to make it!
The idea was to have a straightforward and built-for-rock high quality guitar, that could be similar to the old Fender Esquire or Gibson's Melody Maker, with minimum frills.
Last weekend, I finally got my hands on this guitar and it's hard for me to describe how good it feels to play on it-- it goes even beyond my expectations. I've been a fan of single-pickup guitars for years, so finally owning one, with my own specifications, is like a child dream coming true, really. It even has my Soul-Reaver-inspired G spiral on the twelveth fret!! Can't wait to play Unspkble concerts with it!

It goes without saying that I warmly recommend that you contact Aurélien for any custom guitar/bass project, or any lutherie operation in the Montpellier area! His work is impeccable and he is a super-cool and passionate professional! 😄

We named that baby the "Spectral Foxy" 👻 Here are some of its specs!
Body: Mahogany (Acajou)
Neck: Mahogany/Maple (Erable)
Fretboard: Rosewood (Palissandre)
Pickup: Seymour Duncan P-Rails
Controls: Volume knob, 3-Way Toggle Switch
Radius compensated bridge, Hipshot tuning machines
Color: Arctic White

Princess Post-punk

I made the poster for a show that Unspkble is playing in March, alongside the great Princess Thailand from Toulouse!

When designing stuff for Unspkble, since we're influenced by the 80's post-punk scene, I like to think more in terms of abstract minimalism, textures, geometric composition, but here I wanted to have a proper FACE to catch people's eye... so I ended up drawing this Siouxsie-inspired person! I hope you enjoy 🤩

Unspkble: Live at The Black Sheep

This week, my band Unspkble released four songs recorded live during our last concert at The Black Sheep, in our hometown of Montpellier! These videos were filmed, edited and mixed by yours truly 😊

Feel free to subscribe to the Unspkble Youtube channel, and why not, share your favorite song from these live videos! It'd be a huge support 🖤 Thanks!
