Hello !!

MERLIN, the 112 fully illustrated pages book written by Jean-luc Istin and entirely drawn, designed and layouted by Jean-Sébastien Rossbach and Aleksi Briclot, is finally out !

MERLIN proposes a new vision of the legend.
The book is in french but it's not too much a problem since 80% of it is full-in-your-face spread pages illos

Merlin took a long time to complete in between other gigs and long term contracts. But we wanted it to be a must-see so... we took our time.

You'll find a nice preview of a series of spread pages on our publisher's site:

On my website I posted some photos taken during the Utopiales festival in the city of Nantes. I received a prize for best SF / Fantasy illustrator of the year. I also did a speed painting demo on the big screen in the venue.

I have a long interview in the last issue (May) of 2D Artist. There I explain among other things why I do smell good and how it is that I imitate James Hetfield by full moonlight. You definitely don't want to miss it !
