Exploring Azeroth !

Hop, I had the chance to participate in the illustrations of this new book on World of Warcraft: « Exploring Azeroth »!

After having boldly desired it and never entirely lootted (as a war dps, I had to be satisfied with the crumbs left by the tanks) I had the chance to draw the Tier 1 armor sets ! The french version will be released on december 30th.

Hop, j’ai eu la chance de participer aux illustrations de ce nouveaux livre sur World of Warcraft: « Exploring Azeroth » !

Après l’avoir hardemment désirée et jamais entièrement lootée (en tant que war dps, je devais me contenter des miettes laisser par les tanks) j’ai eu la chance de pouvoir dessiner les ensembles d’armures Tier 1 !! La version française paraîtra le 30 decembre.

A Journey in New York !

Hey, I finaly had the time (and the internet connection) to do a review about the fantastic trip my wife and I made in New york this fall !

Of course the city was great ! But most of all I wanted to speak about the amazing artists that I have meet there.

I have work a lot with Doug Gregory for the last years and FINALY had the joy of meet him !! And all time that we shared was good time, thanks a lot, Doug !

He is the man (Art director) behing a lot of Blizzard’s publishing projets ! So he was for the Book of Tyrael and on this incredible short animation serie: The Burdens of Shaohao.
