Hello everyone,

I've been working hard these past weeks and I just wanted to share with you the subjects of the illustrations and portraits I'm going to publish on my blog in the coming days...

There will be portraits of the Cocorosie Sisters, Richie Hawtin (Canadian DJ also known as Plastikman), Nina Simone, the controversial boxer Mike Tyson and 3 new caricatures of Barack Obama.

There will also be 1 new political drawing on Swine Flu, 2 illustrations on Censorship, one painting on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), 2 paintings on Africa, 2 illustrations on Love/Sex and 2 abstract works.

Most of that is already finished and everything will soon be available in highres here (Just need to scan each work and fix a few things).

As always, thanks to all for your much appreciated support!

Cheers
