King of the place, here is the mighty lion (If you wish, you can view some details, the sketch in progress and the paper I'm using at this link: http://bit.ly/wiJVs9).

I left the drawing unfinished on purpose, I wanted to attract the attention on the lion's face mainly. I took this picture in Tunisia and I also made the drawing. This is part of "Pencil Vs Camera Beta Version" (colored sketches on black paper).

We should all try to have a romantic attitude... Model: Jessica De Boeck (If you wish, you can view the sketch in progress at this link: http://bit.ly/LfbR9q).

Jessica was sitting on this bench and looking a bit lonely. Now she is in better company with this mysterious man. I took this photo in Anderlecht, Belgium, not so long ago... I also made the drawing as usual. This is part of "Pencil Vs Camera Beta Version" (colored drawings on black paper). Drawing on black is a bit more difficult as it is the opposite process of the way I've been drawing since many years.

Eat, sleep, work... no way. No more routine! Escape the madness, escape the system. The character is a mix of James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, Tintin and King Kong, lol!!! I took this photo recently in Barcelona subway. I also made the illustration in colors. This is part of "Pencil Vs Camera Beta Version" (colored sketches on black paper).

Music, music, music... Here is a bird with some electronic power I took the pic and made the sketch as usual. I was sitting outside of a restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal. Several birds came and moved from one chair to another hoping to draw my attention to receive some food (I gave them all my bread).

Steve Jobs - Digital Circlism

uploaders comment:
For a visionary man who changed the way we live and communicate... RIP

This portrait is only made with flat circles on a black background. Every circle has a single color, a single tone and a single size. I placed each circle one by one. It's a time consuming method.

Jesus loves us =D

This portrait is only made with "flat circles" on a black background. Every circle has a single color, a single tone and a single size. I placed each circle one by one. It's a time consuming method.

You can also view this making of my portrait of Elvis Presley (video) to understand how I'm exploiting this technique with circles : http://youtu.be/xyJ0dQZ7Xsk

Don’t cry baby, you were born in a scary world, you’d better get used to it. Don't cry, little man.

Every life has its own little dramas and we're all scary in some ways. Also I wanted to show that drawing or taking photos of flowers isn't always "cute" but can be powerful and meaningful too... :)

The beauty and the prisoner... doomed to disappear sooner or later because unable to really express their feeling. I took this photo in Brussels not so lond ago and made the sketch as usual. The composition may look a bit tricky and unusual, because the model was actually standing in front of a large mirror… Model: Coralie Nelly

Sometimes, you find the key to your problems in the dark moment. There is always a magic door and a key near you. The light and the solution aren't far. Sad events can be a source of enrichment too. The bird I drew isn't an eagle or a parrot, it's a crow. Model : Caroline Madison.

No matter the reasons or the circumstances, I love you today more than yesterday! A quick sketch I made while I was in Spain some time ago. That dog was standing there, alone, looking at me. So cute. I thought he needed some good company...

Which one do you think is the predator? Ok, to be honest, this is somehow a metaphor and a parody of "capitalism". I have been willing to do something like this since some time… Everything is connected in this image (the smallest fish at the top is asking for help). I took the photo near Sousse in Tunisia not too long ago, I also made the drawing. I'm not a biologist or a fish expert, I just drew these animals intuitively.

The other woman walking in the distance is an important element in the composition of this picture. The guy on the rocks is attracted by a beautiful but fake holy creature. In my view, the person with the red backpack symbolizes the real and genuine LOVE... but it is actually going away from him. Hopefully he will take the right decision before it's too late (it's just my own interpretation, I nnderstand you might see something completely different, I encourage this).

This is a photo I took during my trip in Spain, while I was walking the "Camino de Santiago de Compostela" (some 700 hundreds kilometers in a few weeks). I met some amazing pilgrims during this journey. I also made the drawing as usual.

No more violence! This work is dedicated to the 5 killed and 125 wounded people in the gun and grenade attack in Liège (Belgium). Weapons are useless. I ripped the paper and held it in a different way so that it works with my drawing...

Street Art in Florence, Italy. I recently took this picture and also made the drawing. Originally, the mother and child were holding grapes. I had several ideas to replace the grapes with something more funny. I chose a camera because I think it's nice to connect modern painting, photography and traditional drawing...

Freedom is not far. I intended to represent a girl walking above clouds from one pyramid's top to another. This is a picture I took from a plane a few weeks ago when I traveled to Italy. I also made the quick sketch.

This is an old woman I met in a street of Venice, Italy. She was walking alone and looking very sad. I hope that person feels better now (I took the photo and also made the quick drawing).

Tetris feeling today... This is my last creation for "Art Official Concept"(an art gallery in the Republic of Cape Verde). The crazy architecture of this village reminded me so much of Tetris! By the way, the little man in the middle won't get crushed if he escapes... hopefully... :)
