My first attempt to draw a portrait of Pascal Paoli.
I couldn’t find a portrait of him with a strong look.
A general is certainly somebody who must think a lot.

More info about Pascal Paoli on wikipedia…

Pascal Paoli 3 : Ponte Novu (2009)

Pasquale di Paoli, also known as father of Corsica (The “Babbu di a Patria”) implemented in 1755 the first constitution that make Corsica the first democratic republic of the modern age.

As you can guess that make his life a great story to tell and remember. If you want more details, there is a very well written wikipedia article about him and of course those 3 great graphic novels.

Pascal Paoli saga is written by the historian Frédéric Bertocchini, drawings by by Eric Rückstühl, colors by Bruno Pradelle.

Their attention to details is stunning. I am not particulary fan of those kind of historical stories but I have to admit this one changed my point of view.

Pascal Paoli 2 : Le Père de la Patrie (2008)

The 3 books are written in French. There is a Corsican version but no English translation yet.

So for French lovers, limited collectors editions can be purchased by contacting directly the editor DCL editions www.editionsDCL.fr

2. Comics: Ben 10 se sauve de ses devoirs
3. T’es malade ou quoi ?

Parfois en cherchant bien dans les vieux disques durs, on a l’impression de chercher dans un grenier. Voici un vieux comic strip avec les inséparables bit and nbit.

Sometimes by looking through your old hard drive, it’s like digging in an attic. Here an old comics strip with my characters bit and nBit.

nbit chante : « Bon Anniversaire »
bit en chuchotant à son ami bit: « Fais gaffe: c’est un piège... »
--
nbit singing : « Happy birthday »
bit : « Be careful: it’s a trap... »


nbit : « Je me suis dit que plutôt que de se disputer tous les jours. Aujourd’hui on pouvait faire la trève. »
bit : « Comme c’est gentil. Merci. Merci. »
bit en chuchotant à son ami bit : « ’gaffe... »
--
nbit : « I thought instead of fighting each other everyday, today we could make truce. »
bit : « How sweet. Thank you, thank you. »
bit : « ’careful... »


bit en colère : « Ecoutes! C’est MON anniversaire! Lui, au moins il y a pensé! »
bit : « M...Mais je... »
--
bit : « Listen! It’s MY birthday. At least, him, he didn’t forget! »
bit : « B...But, I... »


bit : « Quel rabat-joie... Maintenant soufflons ce gâteau. »
nbit : « Il devrait te plaire : il est aux gousses d’ail. »
bit : « Ah oui? Super! »
--
bit : « What a Quel killjoy... Now let’s blow this cake. »
nbit : « You should like it : I’ve put some garlic in. »
bit : « Really? Great! »


bit souffle très fort et le gâteau s’écrase sur nbit : « Pppfffff »
nbit : « ?! »


bit : « Ca alors! Un gâteau empoisonné. Tu te doutais bien que c’étais un piège alors? »
bit : « Mais oui. Mais tu ne sais pas être vicieux, toi. »
nbit : « ’Me vengerai »
---
bit : « Wow! A poisoned cake. You suspected that it was a trap then? »
bit : « Of course. You do not know to be vicious, you. »
nbit : « ’ll have my revenge.. »


Moralité: l’ail tue!

Dessins réalisés le 7 Décembre 1998 pour l’anniversaire de mes frères (pendant un cours de math, ou de français, ou de philo, ou peut être les trois en même temps. A moins que non.. en 98 j’étais déjà plus au lycée! Va donc savoir où j’étais. Sûrement pas en train de travailler en tous cas

Drawings made on 7 December 1998 for the birthday of my brothers (during a math course, or during a french course or a philosophy course or maybe during all three.. No wait.. in 98 I wasn’t in high school any more. Where was I? Surely not working anyways

Short version: Drawing helps me to have better thoughts.

You don’t do that every day, but when it happen.. you’re glad it did happen.

I mean being in a kind of flow (?)where ideas are streaming hugely fast out of your mind. You search frantically something to express them.

The pen at the end of your hands merely become the messenger of your thoughts. You can’t draw fast enough and don’t want the process to stop.

At some stage I thought voodoo: it looks like it happens when I got a new pen and/or new notebook. So I’m buying new pen and notepads all the times.

I don’t believe in voodoo stuff anymore, it’s too painful: you don’t and can’t understand what’s happening.

However I believe the context of our thoughts is as important as our thoughts themselves (and the ones that will lead our actions).

Sometimes, when the sparks illuminate my brain, I’m still learning to catch them because it usually never happen again, ever.

That’s why the act of recording (drawing, writing, taking pictures, filming, recording sounds/discussions, etc.) is important to me.
And from all those “recording tools”, the one which works the best is drawing. It really helps to get me “in the zone”. Much more than writing.

Here is a series of pages I was – spontaneously and naturally – drawing in early 2007 after I bought a new caligraphy fountain pen and a new Moleskine notebook (voodoo bouh!).
I admit the result looks too contrived but it didn’t take long to draw (about half an hour, which is still slow to get in the zone .

I do not attempt to communicate a message to you through those drawings. This not Art either. It’s a recording that might helps to ignite an inspiration, some sparks in your mind.

What if Amazon open a retail store?

What would it look like?

How could they keep their brand? The user experience?

Here’s my vision about this (made to illustrate forthcoming Ofer’s blog article).

[See it bigger]

A shop with a welcoming context using sofas, plants, aquarium, changing colors walls and lot of space.

The shop is fully automatic and open 24/7.

The staff is there when needed. No hard sales through a legion of agressive and bored salesperson.

The store is not anonymous: you log in to enter. Yes it’s a barrier.

The Main Area

The real size avatar on screen helps you to select, browse and discuss the products presented on mechanical shelves dynamically populated on a lower floor.

There is several of those one-to-one selling units across the store.

The customer can then manipulate his/her selection of products with or without the help of a sale assistant (virtual or not).

The Customer Review Area

Since the beginning Amazon tried to publish trustworthy customer reviews by using reputation scores, moderation etc.
Additionally Amazon was one of the first e-commerce brand to launch viral affiliate program.

This area welcomes trusted reviewers who can explain, discuss the products to other customers and being remunerated at the same time when a sale occurs.

At least it’s a space where people can express their opinions on a one-to-one basis about the product they’ve bought or plan to buy.

The Lounge Area

Are those two women waiting their partners to decide what they want to buy?
Are they waiting their turn to have the dynamic shelves populated with shoes and clothes?
Or is it simply a good meeting point?
You decide.
But we all agree we couldn’t have done this concept without drawing women on it

Check out area

Not represented on this picture but simply a collection area with a standard till.
The customer can pay easily using the financial details from his/her account.

Dorian and I really enjoyed drawing this comic strip of Ben 10.

Ben 10 escapes from his homeworks (or duties)

Once again, Ben 10 save the universe against the terrible Vilgax’s machiavelic plans. — Mission’s done! Time to relax.

Quick, Home sweet home! — Where were you little rascal?! —  I was hunting aliens, Mum…

What about your homeworks? — Oh Man!

It’s a play on words with the french word “devoirs” which means homeworks and duties.
Is Ben understood he had to save the planet once more or he didn’t want to do his homeworks and flew away?

Now if you really want to know what are the effects of homeworks on pupils, hear this:

I call them ox balls, but it sounds rude. Also when you look at it from a particular angle you can see an eye, hence the name “ox eye’s ball”.

This drawing was a bit challenging to me as simple positions are not always the simplest to draw.

So if you see a man standing and looking at something that remind you a touch screen device, then touching it with his right hand – then it means I did something right.

If you see somebody using a calculator it means this drawing is not good enough.

If you see somebody holding a “bol” and eating with his fingers it means you’re hungry! Go and eat something!

If you see Spiderman fighting Ben 10, I don’t know what it means.

Actually that thought just gave me an idea…
Humm…
Let’s take a shower (that’s were I think) and see what we can do with that.

It’s a plain black and white drawing that way you can color it, add shadows or transform it into a vector illustration.

This is the first page of a series I’m making.

It’s just a draft.

It’s not “Marvel style” yet  but I keep trying. I’m certainly going to revise all panels, I need to do the inking  and put some colors.

The scenario introduce some concepts of user experience design, persuasion architecture and social behaviors through the eyes of a super villain and a super hero.

Remember: it’s a draft!

I do not release this work on creative common BY-SA yet but you are free to download the pages and try to ink and color them yourself if you wish.

Here two drawings I made for an article Ofer Deshe wrote for the Flow Interactive blog about the iPod shuffle 3rd generation. It all started with rants emails between us about this new product and then our arguments matured.

The drawings have been made for his text so it’s better to see them in their context. Visit the link at the end of this post.
