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!

Fergus

And there you have it, my final drawing of 2021, featuring Fergus, the bard from my friend mikadochaosmaker in her D&D campaign -- an OC who I'd love to see facing my own bard Lenovo in some ROCK-OFF! 🔥🎤🎸🥁

Miles Morales for the win!

My take on Chase Conley's slick new costume for Miles Morales in the current Spider-man comics! 🔥 A drawing that was on hold for the last 3 months, and that I'm glad to have finished before the end of the year 😅

I didn't post much in a long while, and one of the reasons is that I've been pretty busy with my band Unspkble (where I play guitar and digital delay, lol). We started recording our first full-length album, that will be released around the summer of 2022, and went on a short tour before the holidays. Here's a visual I made for the band, and that we started using on teeshirts!

We are currently booking many shows for next year (in France), so if you like post-punk/cold wave or rock music in general, come check us out!
