After Tardi, after Frémiet

Emmanuel Frémiet was a sculptor from the 19th century who did work often depicting wild animals. Gorillas were only discovered in 1901. He did one piece which was most likely the direct inspiration for King Kong. Jacques Tardi used it as reference and now I do the same.

Tintina remix

Page 4 (out of 4) of my contribution to Tintina and the Bilderberg Shitbox, remixed for a different purpose. It's kind of fun to 'remix' your work like that, as if to leave it to readers to figure out what was the real story and what the fake news. Musicians do it. And painters in the premodern age did it. (causing a major headache for art historians) It is also a theme: often, my characters clash over their worldviews. No-one knows the complete truth. They fall for myths and half-truths. It makes them more human (as bizar they might look). A hero who knows everything and does everything right, is boring anyway.

Behold the daughters of the firmament

From my latest sketchbook. Found a chest with Ecoline watercolours again that was gethering dust in a corner. I used to use those in the past. They're too bright to my current taste, but in a sketchbook you don't set any rules for yourself and I kind of like the purple sky that came out of this.
