Guardian Feature.

This is an illustration I've done for the "Guardian Weekend", published yesterday morning. Very exciting to have my first full page in the Guardian!



And 3 small drawings that were used in the columns to illustrate the article.

- Thanks Anita, next time I'll post the illustrations before they're published, you can then buy the Guardian on the day.

- Thanks Cooked Art.

- I was on my own in a dark room in L.A when I drew this, actually the first version I did was too dark, funny being in a very sunny place, but the apartment was a bit uninspiring.

Great illustrations! The kids and older folks is really nice. It makes me think of a life-long relationship full of love. Wonderful design and color combo. The others have a nice energy to them and very unique style.

Joe Karg said...

Hi! This is my first time seeing your stuff and I'm really blown away. I am doing some very similar things with my own work here in the states. You are the first artist I've stumbled across that I connect with so much. I really love artists like Klimt and Hugo Pratt and you have that flavor. I would be honored if you would visit my site and give me some feedback.

Thanks,
Joe Karg

Christophe"ZEBE" Lourdelet said...

- Thanks Shawn.

- Hi Joe,

I'll visit your blog as soon as possible, I'm very busy at the moment, moving to a new life.

- He! Bonjour Marguerite, merci!
Ton travail est vraiment super, peut etre que nous nous rencontrerons quand je repasserais a Paris.

- Thanks Paul.

- Ben ouais, on va essayer Sylvain, c'est pas evident, avec tous ces papelars a faire avant de partir. J'espere que tu vas bien!

- Aaaah Zebe, c'est vrai que c'est pas facile apres elle, mais tu te debrouille bien, ajoute un ou deux "coolio".

- Thanks Wynne, please do.

- Oui Matt, dans la toute derniere scene, ca dure 5 secondes, il faut etre rapide, mais elle y est!

- Hey Andrei! Hope you're doing well, thank you.

- Thanks pRaKaSh.

- He Zebe, je n'en ai fais que 3, les autres on ete faites par un designer a L.A, c'est peut etre celles la que tu as vu a la FNAC.
J'espere te rencontrer un de ces 4 lorsque je passerais a Paris voir Alexis et Constance. J'ai adore ton illustration avec la 4L.

Christophe"ZEBE" Lourdelet said...

On pourrait aller se saouler au "ricles"...(n'est-ce pas monsieur Alexis)

I like the way it tells a story without words. The first illustration is just awesome! Congratulations.

Unknown said...

I just wanted to tell you that I cut the full page illustration out and put it on my binder. It was not until today that I thought to look up the artist! Amazing work.

Unknown said...

- Oh thank you very much Alison! and thanks for looking at my work, I really appreciate, it means a lot to me when someone liked my work in the Guardian. I really enjoy doing this piece last summer. I'm hoping to get the opportunity to do a full page for them again someday.
Thanks!
