Asking for a little favor.

A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)

The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.

The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)

THE ULTIMATE ENEMY (1979)
Acrylic and Gouache on Illustration Board - 28" x 18"

Sometimes the simplest statements have the strongest force. The image is ostensibly a representation of the struggle to preserve life against the onslaught of the Berserker war machines described by Fred Saberhagen. 1/3

A monstrously large robot looms on the horizon while a simple plant sprouts defiantly from barren, rocky soil in the near foreground. The arms of the robot lurch forward with fingers tensed to grip, implying a sense of forward motion, marching toward the plant. While it's body resembles a stocky biped, it's head is an asymmetrical jumble, which on close examination looks like futuristic buildings set off-center right upon its shoulders. Stiff antennae protrude upward from head and shoulders. Red and orange eye-like lights are set akimbo, an uneven diagonal that adds to the sense of uneasiness about the mechanical monstrosity.

THE INTEGRAL TREES (1984)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 28" x 38"

Being suspended in space, floating unencumbered yet in control of one's flight, is as close to pure freedom as I can imagine. 1/4

#sciencefiction#scifi #scifiart #illustration #larryniven

A woman with short blonde hair floats weightless in front of clumps of cloud shaped vegetation dotted with flowers. The figure looks very Peter Pan-esque posed with one knee raised wearing green capri-style pants and a vest with no shirt beneath. A harpoon rests across her shoulders with a rope line dangling loose. She holds a coil of it with her toes. An enormous tree trunk with a chrome engine firing off the side arcs past, diminishing back into the blue sky where it intersects clump. A diagonal line of light serves as a tilted horizon of sorts but there is no land, just sky occupied by clouds and clumps.

FEARFUL GEOMETRY (2024), Acrylic on Panel, 8” x 8”, Custom framed mounted on black wood panel with dark silver wood moulding. A pale green, five-pointed star with chipped points rests upon textured gray stone as a slender tentacle extends from off panel to cup and curl around it. The skin of the tentacle is smooth, green and yellow like a snake but suggests something more horrific as it sprouts eyeballs at random and becomes serrated approaching the tip. A second star forms at the center of the soapstone, recessed, radiating lines outward to the points and to the intersections of sides. Teardrops are etched on the ridge of each diamond segment with an arc dots on the bevel of each slope. Drops of bright red bead on the stone in the lower right.

BLIZZARD OF FEAR (2018), Oil on Board - 11” x 14”, Custom framed in gray/brown rustic wood moulding. A bearded man in polar gear grips a five-pointed star as he turns in surprise with his russet colored scarf whipping near horizontal, caught by chill Antarctic wind. Drifts blow at his feet, defining a line of white. His stance is set wide suggesting pivoting movement. A side satchel is strapped across his chest, tying together the colors of scarf, leather, and beard. Emerging at the edge of the snow covered mountain is a Shoggoth, a tentacled monstrosity with a myriad of eyes clustered in the knot of flesh that is the center of its mass.

It's #introduction time!
My name is Laetitia, I am a French illustrator obsessed with the pretty, forgotten and endearing corners of France. 🇫🇷✨
Sometimes it seems vain and a little naive but I just hope to bring a little breath, lightness, pretty illustrations into the chaos of the world.
I also host a monthly newsletter which I hope will give you a break and take you on a still journey to a little-known French destination.

A digital illustration of the Port Saint-Michel beach in Batz-sur-Mer, in Loire-Atlantique (France). The famous yellow bathing cabins stand out against a peaceful landscape in shades of blue, pink and purple. In the background, houses line the shore, while in the foreground, colorful algae and a bird seem to invite us to join the vacationers on the beach. It's summer, the sky is pink and you can almost hear the children's laughter above the murmur of the waves.

RIDER (1990)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 27" x 35"

A race of turtle-like creatures conquers Earth, imposing a gentler set of values on humankind, outlawing destructive technology, and denying the validity of human scientific theories. 1/3

#sciencefiction#scifi #scifiart #illustration #frederikpohl #jackwilliamson

A young woman rides piggyback on a bipedal bull-like creature with russet fur and milky blue eyes. Her arms wrap around its horns settling casually on the top of its head. Behind them in colorful relief on concrete, the story of a conquering race of aliens features a central turtle-like figure spreading wings as an egg floats over it. The figure is bordered by an Art Deco star burst of yellow and white backed by an outer oval of yellow stars on blue. Other turtle-aliens line up among simple clouds, each presenting an egg as they stand in profile in a sort of worship. Beside the concrete facade that dominates the foreground, a human male stands atop a wrecked school bus, shielding his eyes as he stares up into the sky. A turtle-alien stands next to him dwarfing him in stature.
