The story behind…
Last year.
I draw these four character . It was for a comic book commissioned by the Economic Swiss Magazine Bilan. the script was written by Laurent Nègre the Swiss Director ,Writer and Editor . here is a link of his last movie here.The title was » Sirocco » like the violent dry wind from the Sahara desert.
The Idea was to write a Economical Thriller and follow the investigation of a journalist .
…the project at the end was dropped.

DESCRIPTION:
This is rider-driven. With a twin-tip, center-stanced shape, these boards are designed to defy conventional style on any terrain, big or small, man-made or natural, switch or regular. New for 2005, the revolutionary 2X technology puts a whole new spin on stance versatility.
The UnInc crew sat down with Jeff’s brother Billy to create a graphic based on artwork from Jeff’s sketchbook, including the etched metal base inlay and base graphics. The top graphic features metallic and tactile matte print details. For every board sold we contribute a portion of the proceeds to Mammoth Skatepark.
JP hooked up with LA artist Hersk to create his multi-layered top graphics. If you look closely you’ll see that JP has incorporated his friends’ names and hidden messages in the top art. The diecut base design also reflects JP’s personality. The topsheet features tactile matte artwork, a subtle whitewash pearl finish and a metallic UnInc logo print.
Romain and friend JP Kalonji collaborated to produce a graphic that represents Romain’s bold personality. Maybe one of these days we’ll show the X-rated graphics that didn’t quite make it. In the meantime, check out the base graphic and diecut pig, designed to represent Romain’s rockstar status.
Gigi brought a unique concept to the table when he and artist Noah Butkus sat down to create his graphics. We gave the top a matte finish and a metallic UnInc logo print. The base features a tonal, currency symbol pattern and diecut pig, stylized to mimic Gigi’s shocking personality.
DCP took a painting created for him by friend and artist Stefan Elliot and added his own personal touches. The base graphic incorporates hidden misties about his friends and other things that are important to him. DCP’s diecut pig represents the punk side of his personality. The matte finish with gloss art and the metallic UnInc logo finish his board off in style.

Recently i’ve been commissioned by my old friend sarah she work for this big design furniture contemporary Batiplus .My job was to do during the night some giant skecthes of the designers and guests invited for the second edition « Batiplus il salone » Honnestly it was a hard task to quickly capture the faces, the poses of the people ,but it was a funny and a good exercice to dodge around people with their glass of red wine and me hanging with my brush fresh of paint ^^.
However here is the result of this night and few pics.
I would like to thanks all the people of BATIPLUS particularly Sarah Michellod , and the heads of the company who gave me this opportunity Nicolas Brunner,Pierre Jutzi , Urs Lüscher & Gabriele Rossi.
