Artists Must Do...


I quickly made this graph (personal interpretation) to show all the things I have to deal with on a daily basis as a solo artist... And I think it can be useful for those who want to learn how the system works. It usually goes from step 1 to 9. Definitely it's the art production I like the most. Some companies have a bunch of people for each of these tasks. Artists should try to manage their own business. Get a print of the above graph at this link.

A recent project I made in my new studio. Was I having a dissociative identity disorder or is this just an optical illusion or maybe an invisible 3D mirror? Who will be the winner? You can view the sketch in progress here below (4 steps) and the complete Pencil Vs Camera series at this link. New: Buy the above artwork as a print!

Less is More

A nice project I made recently in my new studio. I covered the model Zhuzhu and the white background with hundreds of small black stickers. That made her look almost invisible at the end. I wanted to title this artwork "Chaos" or "Big Bang" but I finally chose "Less is More". Please, view the work in progress here below. New: Buy this artwork as a print!

Don't forget me

Don't forget me, because I'll never forget you. I took this photo in my garden in Rochefort, Belgium. This is a real hut with divine proportions. Model: Zhuzhu. You can view a detail of the above photo at this link and my other photos with Zhuzhu here. New: This photo is available for sale.

This is a digital work but totally handmade.
I painted each circle individually on a black surface.
Let's call this "circlism". Quite a time consuming technique.

The original version of the above portrait is
huge (10 000 pixels wide). If you wish to download
and own it, please contact info@theartistery.com

I have always loved Bob Marley. Jah bless!
Below is the "making of", just click to enlarge.

Crocuses
.
.
I captured this a few days ago in Lille, France. These crocuses were really tiny, a few centimeters may be. I used a simple 70 mm lens but enhanced the whole image in Photoshop CS4. Several hours of work to get the results I wanted. The picture is not reframed, it actually is a montage of several photos I took when I was there...

The main thing I wanted to express here is the way fragile little things can appear big and strong sometimes, and beautiful of course. But your own interpretation is more important.

Give Me Some Fresh Air !

I took this photo in Portugal some
time ago and just edited it today
