Magnitude 9

Today I received a copy of the book 'Magnitude 9'

The book containing all the works of the CFSL graphic designers dedicated to the victims of the Tsunami is on pre-order on Ankama Shop. LINK
Find in this artbook all illustrations of the CFSL French Collective artists to help the Tsunami victims. All profits will go to Give2Asia.
Also, you can purchase one of the originals during the auction to will take place on April 30th at 6pm at the Arludik gallery, in Paris. Again, all the profits will be donated to Give2Asia.

Kees van Kooten

When I create caricatures for magazines, often I hand in my work, get paid and that's that. Sometimes, the depicted personality contacts me to tell me what they think about my drawing. In this case, Kees van Kooten published his thoughts on my drawing in 'Hollands Diep' magazine.
For all of you who do not speak dutch; let's say he has a very kind way of saying he likes the drawing.
Thank you very much, Kees!

Graphite powder

Recently I bumped into the great work of Niklas Andersen LINK
He allowed me to share some of his advice on the use of graphite powder on my tutorial blog LINK. This drawing is the result of some playtime with pencil and graphite powder.
