Forme des luttes - appel à images
︎ 1 day
Formes des luttes is a small group of graphic designers and authors
who produce designs on political and
social issues and have known each other for a long time. After many years
of regular exchanges and occasional collaborations, the mobilization against
the Philippe government's pension reform at the end of 2019 was an opportunity
to formalize their exchanges
and incorporate them into a larger project open to all image producers wishing to put their creativity at the service
of social struggles.
They regularly issue calls for images,
and I decided to participate in the one addressing budget cuts in the Pays de la Loire region of France in 2025.

Alternative music magazine
︎ 1 week
Alternative music is music that breaks free from any kind of stylistic affiliation, playing style, musical family, or rules to follow. It invents itself with its own criteria for composition, production, and distribution.
As a regular listener of alternative pop and nostalgic for magazines from
the 2000s, I wanted to create a
double-page spread on this style
of music, capturing the kitschy side
of our teenage magazines.

The Yokai picture book
︎ 3 weeks
The term yōkai (妖怪, “strange apparition,” “specter,” “monster”) refers to anything related to strange
or abnormal phenomena, whose existence is beyond human comprehension, in popular beliefs transmitted through literature or oral culture in Japan.
I created a picture book that lists all the craziest and
most unlikely yokai I could find. I wanted minimalist, colorful drawings in a fan-shaped format
with Japanese binding.

Engraving workshop
︎ 3 weeks
We had a plastic engraving workshop, where
we had to recreate three images inspired by a poem on a thin sheet of plastic. I chose to revisit Tim Burton's poem “Voodoo Girl” because it's
a poem I really like, but voodoo culture wasn't represented enough in the illustrations.
For the “vodoo girl,” I drew inspiration directly from East African vodoo culture. And for the zombies, I used the meaning associated with Haitian culture, which is linked to African cultures but also to slavery.
