Another cat I found in a park near Sousse in Tunisia... I didn't change the colors, it's an albinos kitty with 2 different eye colors. It's very rare. I'll post more pictures of this sweet creepy thing soon.

This is a quick Flesh and Acrylic demo I made for the Catalan public television "TV3" (in Spain). The work in progress was filmed and the video report was broadcasted the 25th of November 2011 along with a short documentary about Art and Surrealism in Belgium. As always in "Flesh and Acrylic", I worked in a wild and intuitive way. Model: Julia. She is a journalist and a model in her spare time...I left the newspapers in the background on purpose.

A crazy and contrasted duo.
Black and white, wild and quite.

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... If you wish, you can view a detail below and the full series here. The above picture has been shot with the Samsung NX11.

I took this photo in a forest near Brussels.
Model: Marta. She was so colorful.


Somehow a mutation of Digital Circlism. Instead of placing perfect circles on a black background, this is made with thousands of irregular shapes. You can view some details and the work in progress here below.

Details - A Little Girl Dreaming (Ben Heine)

Pencil Vs Camera - 57

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. See the entire Pencil Vs Camera album. The above picture is dedicated to Tina, a special person, a friend and a solution finder.

Other angle (sort of backstage picture, while I was
testing which pose was the best for Caroline):


This is a long exposure photo. This picture is the result of an improvised collaboration with my long time friend Stoff. Model: Caroline Madison. I first "flashed" her then took a 30 seconds picture, while stoff was doing the magic orb in the middle of the composition. This photo is dedicated to my friend Marcel De Munnynck, who passed away a few days ago...

Ghost

This is another long exposure photo. I love how scary Caroline looks... (see a detail here below). This picture is the result of an improvised collaboration with my long time friend Stoff (make sure to check out his page , there are some amazing creations to view).

The silhouette on the left is me using Stoff's camera to "flash" the model while my own camera (placed on another tripod just behind me) was capturing the moment =D

Stoff makes incredible "orbs" by playing with home made light sources. Luckily, Caroline Madison was there with us... I first "flashed" her, while stoff was doing the magic orb in the middle of the composition.

I recently took this photo by night at the seaside in Hastings, while I was travelling to the UK for an exhibition in London (Battersea Affordable Art Fair). I lived in Hastings from 2002 to 2003, it was so nice to be there again!

A radio interview I gave for "Drive Time Surprise/Show" (TBS FM, Seoul, South Korea). It was broadcasted a few days ago. I was interviewed by Sam and Annabelle (it's in English with a big French accent from me, lol). In this conversation, I'm talking about my recent art series, my sources of inspiration, my friend Peter S. Quinn and my exhibitions.
