Stef's Sketches.

The Art Of Urban Sketching, the book!

2012-01-25T14:17:00.000-08:00

My first time published! I'm very pleased to be part of this book put together by Gabi Campanario, a collection of sketches from his Urban Sketchers website.
My old friend and favorite Welshman Matt Jones is featured in the book too.

(You can get the book on Amazon at a great price)

Here's a better look at my work in the book.

'Jessssshhh' Papa!

2012-01-12T11:28:00.000-08:00

'Jessssh' is what Magnus says to me all the time, understand 'Yes' here. The 'Dado' sticker on his helmet refers to his favorite show 'SamSam', he calls it 'Dado', go figure.

'Fancy' video.

2012-01-04T21:29:00.000-08:00

I tried something new this evening, at least new to me. I painted first with water (not easy when you can't really see what you are doing), then dropped some ink on the marks I've made and let the ink spread naturally.
I need more practice, but I like the technic. Next time I'll let the ink dry and not remove the excess with paper towel, it gives a texture I do not like

'One Fancy a Day'

2011-12-22T20:38:00.000-08:00

I just started a blog dedicated to our dog Fancy, where i'm posting all the drawings I do of her every evenings since November 21st. Since we found out she has cancer.
Each drawing is different obviously, depending on the mood or how late in the evening i did draw her, or what tool I had on hand.
You can browse through them, a month worth so far, here.

Happy Holidays!

2011-12-16T11:13:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd share the concepts too; I wanted to do a short story first with Magnus, but the final image works on its own.

Concepts

A 'Fancy' Sketchbook.

2011-12-13T11:32:00.000-08:00

Our dog 'Fancy' has been diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago, so I decided to do a drawing of her every evening from that day onward, in a sketchbook dedicated to her. One "Fancy' a day.

This is the first drawing I did of Fancy, the day we found out she is sick.

Los Feliz.

2011-11-28T09:14:00.000-08:00

A very enjoyable sketching session with Matt in Los Feliz over the weekend. It was great to go around drawing with him again, we haven't done it for a very long time, it's very inspiring. He's currently painting some superb gouache of California in his little sketchbook, they are beautiful!

Magnus vs. Sam Sam.

2011-11-03T11:51:00.000-07:00

Magnus LOVES Sam Sam! Thanks to my friend Sylvain (Deboissy), Magnus and I got introduced to Sam Sam, and now it became a morning ritual to watch an episode; Magnus goes through a full array of expressions while watching it, so cute!

He always says "Mine!" when he sees Sam Sam in his little spaceship, hence the short story below.

Here is an episode of Sam Sam.

Hollywood Bowl-Tribute to Serge Gainsbourg

2011-08-30T21:36:00.000-07:00

French composer, arranger and longtime Serge Gainsbourg collaborator Jean Claude Vannier, was playing the legendary concept album Histoire de Melody Nelson live, in full with orchestra and guests, at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday evening.

Jean Claude kindly invited me to join him for the day, at the Hollywood Bowl, to sketch the Artists and the musicians backstage, and on stage, during rehearsal and during the concert in the evening.

It was an amazing experience; this was my first time at the Hollywood Bowl, and to enter this venue, through the Artist entrance at the back and go straight on stage facing the sea of empty seats, it was very impressive to say the least. The stage was filled with a full orchestra, a choir and many very talented and famous artists rehearsing the songs. Needless to say that when I started to sketch I was very nervous. It took me a while to realize I was on stage at the Hollywood Bowl.

I met Jean Claude again Monday evening at the CineFamily (the silent movie theatre) in Hollywood, for a retrospective of his work, presented on stage by Andy Votel; this gave me the opportunity to finish the sketchbook I started Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl and cover his 2 days in L.A.

Thanks to Jean Claude Vannier for this unforgettable experience!

Full list of Artists here. ('M'-Matthieu Chedid, was also performing on stage).

I also sketched Jean Claude Vannier's performance at The Barbican in London in 2006, you can check it here. This is how we first got in touch.

Petite Maison.

2011-08-12T14:37:00.000-07:00

This is a little house on my Mum's property in France. She is going to sell it soon as it needs a lot of work inside, it is very old and charming, but she decided to part with it. I drew it whilst i visited her last month; it is nothing really, but i do like this house.

I will probably color it later, traditionally or digitally, at different time of the day and night, as an exercise.

2011 San Diego Comicon-part 2.

2011-07-25T15:06:00.001-07:00

San Diego Comicon 2011

2011-07-24T15:00:00.000-07:00

I was kindly invited this year by MacLife magazine, to sketch live at their booth on an iPad, the crowd passing by at Comicon. It was exciting and also stressful as the iPad i used was connected to a giant screen, between WB and G4; every mistakes i would made would be seen from far say. But I had fun, I did two 2 hours sessions, and some of the people passing by were very surprised to see themselves being drawn on the screen as they were watching.

Thanks a lot to Florence Ion from MacLife who invited me to be part of Comicon this year.

Work in progress shot one of the drawing I made live.

A photo from underneath the massive screen!

And the final piece.

Few more sketches below from the 2 live sessions.

A Very Nice Time Off.

2011-07-07T14:41:00.000-07:00

I was away for almost 3 weeks In England and France; apart from 2 days of work in London, I did nothing but enjoying life, catching up with old friends, and a bit of drawing in the lovely French countryside.

At The Genius Bar.

2011-06-13T14:31:00.000-07:00

I was drawing on an Apple device at the Apple Store this morning while this guy was fixing other people Apple devices.

Pixar Podcast.

2011-05-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

Derrick Clements at "The Pixar Podcast" interviewed me last week. If you would like to know a bit more about my day job and have 1 hour to kill, head to The Pixar Podcast website!

Below a short clip of the interview.

Thanks DisneyLiving for the video!

Here are some of the Cars 2 character art I'm talking about during the interview.

I'm very fortunate to work with fantastic artists in my team that would make my concepts and roughs look so good in the final artwork.

Lycklig Mors Dag!

2011-05-08T09:52:00.000-07:00

Here is the card I made, for my son to offer to my lovely wife today for Mother's Day.

I thought I'd also share the different stages from concept/rough to final as I never really do this.

(Top left drawing - pen and paper, all the rest digital)

Final artwork

The final cut out card on the gift box!

A lovely weekend.

2011-05-02T16:21:00.000-07:00

Out at the beautiful Huntington Gardens, gorgeous day!

'Art In The Streets'

2011-04-25T20:02:00.000-07:00

Great street art exhibition at The Geffen Contemporary At Moca. The show spans over 40 years of street art history: graffiti, street art, the emergence of the surf and skate culture in Venice Beach and Santa Monica in the early 1970's, graffiti artists' sketchbooks, installations... really good.

And this is my one sketch report from the show!

Newport Beach.

2011-04-18T10:33:00.000-07:00

A wonderful day by the beach, filled with joy for my little boy: Seagulls, blueberries, rain, playing in the freezing cold sea and creme brulée.

Cars 2 Posters!

2011-04-16T11:10:00.000-07:00

I had the amazing opportunity to work on the upcoming 'Cars 2' movie posters with my friend Eric Tan. The last time we worked together on some movie posters was on 'Ratatouille'.

It's always very inspirational to work with the creatives at Pixar Animation, we learn a lot from these guys, and great things come out from our collaboration.

Huge thank to Eric who did the layout/design on the poster below, I only drew and painted the cars for him while he was designing 12 more posters! Please check all the superb posters that he designed for the movie on his blog! Here, here and here.

(and below an early poster concept)

Adobe Eazel, Color Lava and Nav.

2011-04-15T22:18:00.000-07:00

Few months ago, I've been asked by Adobe to join their Prerelease Team for testing several IPad apps they were developing. I was honored to be part of such an incredible team of people from different background.
The 3 apps are a lot of fun to use; they're called "Adobe Eazel", "Adobe Color Lava" and "Adobe Nav".

I've done the images below using "Eazel"; it's a fun unique five finger touch interface, and the paint/brushes are like painting with watercolors. The paint dries and depending on how fast you are applying the next color, the paint bleed, very interesting and have a lot of potential.

You can also transmit your images directly to Photoshop, and your image will appear on a layer, very nice feature.

I had a lot of fun too with "Color Lava", you can mix your colors on a palette, there's even a water bucket to clean your brushes!

All 3 apps connect with Photoshop.

They will be available early May 2011 in the ITunes App Store.

"Eazel" promotional video demo here. And more about the 3 apps here.

I've painted the bottom 2 images from models, "live", to test how spontaneous I could be with "Eazel".

The other ones are to test how the paints reacts, transparency, how detailed I could be...

Schön! Magazine.

2011-03-31T09:26:00.000-07:00

Schön! Magazine interviewed me this month for their new issue. You can flick through the magazine here. You'll learn a bit more about my job at Disney.
Thanks to Raoul Keil and Andre Da Silva for giving me the opportunity to be featured in their magazine!

"Art Blocks For Ghana" and Other Things.

2011-03-14T11:35:00.000-07:00

Saturday evening was the launch of the "Art Blocks For Ghana" exhibition at Gallery Nucleus in L.A. Congratulations to Margaret and Rachel for putting this together, it looked great, and it was nice to meet some of the artists who contributed.

You can bid this week on all the blocks here.

In addition to this, The Picture Book Foundation will also be donating part of its proceeds from Art Blocks to raise awareness and support Dice Tsutsumi's "Artists Help Japan and Tsunami Fund" and Give2Asia.

Here's my contribution again. Bid here.

Also Matt (Monsieur Jones) stayed with us for the weekend; we had a lovely time zooming around L.A. Here are few sketches from Huntington Gardens and The Norton Simon Museum.

Matt and my son also had a nice drawing session together while having lunch at Disneyland; my son was very creative, he impressed Matt with mixed mediums: Crayola, maccaroni and cheese, and meatballs. He clearly already thinks out of the box.

Thank you.

2011-02-14T20:21:00.001-08:00

A little "Thank You" card for all the presents my boy got for his first birthday.

Happy Holidays!

2010-12-09T13:26:00.001-08:00

Whatever you are celebrating these days, I wish you all a Happy New year 2011!
Thanks to everyone who visited the blog this year.

Mean Teeth.

2010-11-29T14:40:00.000-08:00

My little Magnus is cutting his top teeth, the bottom ones were nice, those ones are mean, they're up all night.

No CTN nor Comicon.

2010-11-22T09:27:00.000-08:00

I was too early for Comicon, and at the wrong place for CTN.

Art Blocks For Ghana.

2010-11-13T16:29:00.000-08:00

Here is my contribution to the "Art Blocks For Ghana" project.
All the Artists were given a square wood block to work with, and a theme, "Home".
There will be an exhibition of all the wood blocks at Gallery Nucleus in L.A, in March 2011.
All the details about the project can be found here.

Here are some of my preliminary sketches and composition thumbnails.

I originally intended to add a dog house on the roof of the boat, with a dog sleeping inside, and more props to make the deck of the boat more like a living room; a rug, a table with a vase and a flower... but as I decided to make the boat smaller in the lower right part of the composition, to show the vast ocean, it became too busy. Especially to draw that small on wood, i almost went blind.

And the final piece.

"Home Sweet Home" pencil and eraser on 10X10 wood block.

8 months old today, and these tiny legs are getting ready to walk soon!

Private Car Show

2010-09-19T19:30:00.000-07:00

There was a car show this morning in South Pasadena, on Mission, but I was kindly invited to a private one at Ron and Elaine's house. They have this superb collection of cars. The entire 1st floor (ground floor for my European friends), is filled with unique vintage cars and bikes from all around the world. It is absolutely amazing.
I did a sketch of one of Ron's race car on my Ipad; I wanted to see if I could be as fast and loose as I am on paper with car sketching, on my Ipad.

The car is a 1932 Chrysler Indianapolis race car. It raced in 1932 and 1933 by two Argentine race drivers. It finished in about 9th place in 1933.

For a Dear Friend.

2010-09-17T16:39:00.000-07:00

Done on my Ipad again.

Les Bottes Bleues.

2010-09-14T15:51:00.001-07:00

My boy Magnus is 7 months old now, has 2 teeth, and some brand new mega cool blue boots that his Mum got him from Sweden (except that it's summer all year long here, so I'm not sure about those fancy bear hunting boots).

Ipad.

I went to NYC for a couple of days. Meetings, some great food, and few drawings/paintings on my Ipad in the plane.

Mexico.

2010-07-26T09:45:00.001-07:00

Great first vacation as a family, in Mexico. I couldn't draw as much as I expected to, with my little guy around, but I don't care, time with him is precious.

Little Magnus enjoyed swimming so much.

San Diego.

2010-07-14T17:07:00.000-07:00

Before Comicon...so peaceful.

2010-06-16T14:33:00.000-07:00

I haven't done any life drawing for a very long time, but I went back at lunch time and the model was, well, a very good model.

Growing Up.

2010-05-05T08:45:00.000-07:00

This is how my little man was sitting up on my lap yesterday evening, looking at his mum. So sweet, with his little hand on his knee, all concerned.

Magnus et le Pantalon Bleu.

2010-05-04T09:49:00.000-07:00

He's so yummy! his little tiny toes, his cheeks...

Made In USA...

2010-04-27T19:46:00.001-07:00

...with Swedish and French parts :)
Our little boy is almost 3 months old now, already! He is such a sweet baby, so kind and patient. He often sits like this next to me, and smiles at me, holding his two tiny hands together. Awwwwww, I love him so much! he is so pretty!

2010-04-01T08:41:00.000-07:00

Craig Gonsenhauser asked me yesterday if I wanted to try his Iphone app "ArtistsTouch". I haven't done any paintings/drawings on my Iphone for ages. This is my first go at it.

New Addition To The Family.

2010-02-10T19:35:00.001-08:00

Magnus Gustav Kardos was born on February 8th 2010.

I am a very proud Daddy, and so in love with him!

Last Day Of 2009.

2009-12-30T21:11:00.000-08:00

Last drawing session of the year yesterday with the guys (you can see more about it here, we were all dressed up and beautiful).
Below are some excerpts of my page yesterday.

And also a short video about the "Caga tio" exhibition in Barcelona earlier this month, in which I had a piece (you can still see few posts below). Thanks to Ed again for giving me the opportunity to be part of it.

Happy New Year everybody! and thanks to all of you for visiting my blog this year, I really appreciate your support :)

Yesterday evening at Rodolphe's, with Mr Matt Jones from the UK!

Caga Tio.

2009-11-20T09:12:00.000-08:00

The super talented Ed Carosia (Mi Bulin), and few friends, are organizing in Barcelona, in December, an event called ILU-STATION. It's a festival of indie-illustration and indie comics.
This year the festival is aimed at children, based on "Caga Tio", a mythical Catalan Christmas character. Ed kindly asked me to do my own version of it. Here it is.

"Brushes" 2.1 beta.

2009-11-10T14:08:00.000-08:00

teve Sprang who developed "Brushes" for the iphone, sent to some artists yesterday, including myself, the beta version of the new "Brushes" that will be available soon I believe on the app store.
I love it. Steve did a great job, he added various brushes, and the possibility to edit those brushes. I do not use my Iphone to draw anymore, but enjoyed going back to it the past couple of days.
One thing I also like is how big you can export your image (you'll get and idea by clicking on the sketch).

Delayed Moon Landing.

2009-08-04T10:03:00.000-07:00

I know this post comes a bit late, as the Moon Landing 40th Anniversary was last month, but here are some sketches I did at NASA in Houston last year.

This old man I sat next to at the Houston Airport, was I believe an Astronaut. He was discretely listening to his mission on a big yellow plastic walkman. NASA too has to cut their budget somewhere.

Ridiculous.

2009-06-29T22:26:00.000-07:00

What an idea to sit, almost on the road, to paint few trees and cars, under a harsh sun. This blogging thing becomes far too dangerous.

2009-05-29T14:33:00.000-07:00

Here's a link to a small piece about Iphone Paintings that ABC news posted on their website today. Jorge Columbo did the cover of this week New Yorker on his Iphone using "Brushes", and told ABC news that he got inspired by my work (thanks Jorge :)
They came over to L.A last Friday to film me and interview me. They stayed around for 5 hours, I'm in this piece for 20 seconds. I'm sure it's because they're keeping the material for a DVD release, collector edition with audio commentaries :)

$50,000...

2009-05-21T20:16:00.000-07:00

This is the price this car I painted was for sale for, I'm obviously not asking $50,000 for it. My painting will be for sale at a show in Los Feliz, in October. More details to follow.

Zooming Around.

2009-05-14T14:33:00.001-07:00

I see this guy often just mocking around work on his fancy vehicle. How do you do wheelings on that? Where are the good old bikes we had when we were kids? doing stunts, showing off in front of the girls.

Hé Genevieve, t'as vu, c'est un bonhomme a lunettes :)

Mardi Soir.

2009-05-06T11:20:00.001-07:00

A very enjoyable drawing session yesterday evening, in great company, at Rodolphe's.
And a link to this short that I absolutely love, that Pierre, the young man smiling in one of the photos, worked on. (for those of you who never saw that short before).

Super soirée avec les brutes de Francais de Dreamworks hier, chez Rodolphe. Y sont tous ceintures noire en dessin et maitrisent le HB comme des dieux les sacripands.
Et puis un lien vers ce super short sur lequel Pierre a bossé (le jeune homme qui sourit sur une des photos), parce que j'adore ce short.

The Hills, The Wedding (I Paparazzi-ed the Paparazzi!)

2009-04-27T23:17:00.001-07:00

On my way to the post office on Saturday afternoon, I noticed more people than usual gathered down the road, in front of a church, in fact, quite a lot of people, with massive cameras, some I'm sure were the same used to take photos of the moon; and a lot of movie cameras, police and all.
I'm kind of use to this as it's very common in L.A, you can't buy your bread without talking about the weather with Brad Pitt (kind of...). This time, I decided to stop as it was a very good opportunity to study the paparazzi, they are a very interesting thing to watch.
(the shooting in question was a MTV show called "The Hills", which, from what I've heard, is boring, but not to the paparazzi apparently)
(I borrowed this post title from Petrea's comment, thank you:)

No power last night when I came home, so went to the park and enjoyed watching the kids playing baseball.

Winnie The Pooh Baby Nursery.

2009-04-14T11:42:00.001-07:00

I've been asked last September, to create 2 Winnie the Pooh illustrations for Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz baby nursery walls.

I really wanted to keep the charm of the original late 60's/early 70's Winnie the Pooh featurettes, as I always do at work when I draw them, and get this kind of animation cel on a background feel to it. Storytelling was crucial too, I didn't want to just slap some big characters on their walls like stickers.
The first wall below is the one overlooking the baby crib, so I chose to make it an indoor scene. I drew Winnie and Piglet reading a story just right where the crib was meant to be. Eeyore's tail was removable, and Winnie, Piglet and Eeyore were printed on a board and cut out, as well as Tigger and Roo below.

The second one was a wall next to big windows and trees outside, so I designed an outdoor scene, using some colors from the garden to get a sense of space and continuity.
The chalkboard in the middle was made out of real chalkboard material, so their son can draw on it.

Oil Painting Workshop... The Results.

2009-03-30T22:03:00.000-07:00

Sean Cheetham is an excellent Artist, I've learnt a lot from him. I've never used oil paint before, but I truly enjoyed his class. Here is what I've done during his 5 days "Alla Prima" Oil Painting workshop at LAFAA... or more precisely, the 2 last paintings. Each one of them is approximatively 6 hours or work.

This is Day 5: (using a limited palette, know as the Zorn palette, Anders Zorn) White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ochre and either Vermilion or Cadmium Red Light or Med, in that case I used Scarlet Red.

And below, Day 4.

This is Sean Cheetham, a very fine Artist, of whom I've been watching the back for 7 hours today, as I'm attending his 5 days oil painting class up in Van Nuys. Very interesting, even more for me as I never opened an oil paint tube before.
Tomorrow, I will open a tube, or more if all goes well, and will have my first attempt at "alla prima" painting (sounds very fancy), a portrait.
That's all, a good evening to all of you out there :)

Behind "Jimmy's Super Lunch"

The guy you see polishing the car asked me nicely if I had a problem, I was staring at the car you see, that's what you do when you draw something, you look at it, he didn't like that. He relaxed a bit after he saw the sketch, he didn't want to make me eat my sketchbook anymore. We are best buddies now. The end.

It's Not Me, It's The Dog.

I find drawing on location at night very difficult. The light, or the absence of light is very interesting, it makes everything looks so different, but it's also, well, very challenging to draw when you can't see anything.
Anyway, my dog and I stopped for few minutes this evening during our tour of the streets to sketch this.
She likes the sketch, so I share it with you.
A lovely evening to all of you :)
