Crazy week (is it me or do I repeat myself over and over again? hehe) anyway since this week topic on IF is bottled, I had to post this illustration I did for an editorial for the Indianapolis Monthly. Title was “Death of the Party” and the Subtitle was: “Getting between an addict ans his addiction can turn a best friend into the enemy.” Very interesting job to do, since it was a very personal and emotional story (written by Mike Knight). I think the feeling of it all was in sinc with the mood of the story and I was quite pleased with the result (a rare thing, I am tough with myself). It can be quite difficult to help someone who is “bottled up” in his own world, even harder to do so when we see that they are heading for the bottom. Hope you like this one… now going back to work on some new jobs that just got in! :) Have a great week!!

Cette semaine est complètement folle. Bon je semble toujours et encore me répéter depuis quelques temps mais c’est vraiment le cas. Pour le IF de cette semaine, le thème est “bottled” et j’ai tout de suite pensé à cette illustration fait voilà un petit bout de temps pour le magazine Indianapolis Monthly. Une histoire très touchante de deux amis qui tentait d’aider leur ami à vaincre son problème d’alcool, en lui écrivant une lettre. Très émouvant comme histoire donc, et j’ai tenté de “rendre” ce sentiment d’impuissance… suis assez fière de moi (ce qui est rare!). Alors voilà… je retourne travailler car j’ai des nouvelles jobs pour les prochaines semaines!
I will go visit your website now!! I miss checking other websites of illustrators, too!! hehe
