so many to comment on. As theyre all great i'll say which is my favourite. The last page is a wonderful little mise en scene with guy in the foreground. Lovely.

Bon Anniversaire-where does time go?!

As always your voyeuristic beach drawings are superb. It's amazing how you draw them all through 2 eye holes of a local newspaper!

Happy birthday, Matt!

Elliot Cowan said...

Are you sure?
I got to London on July the 8th and you'd already left (perhaps you were avoiding me).

Joan Cabot said...

Happy Anniversary, Dr Jones.

Am I mistaken or you are spending a lot of time on the beach?

Great drawings, I really love your style, was m@ serious about the newspaper thing?

Richard Gaines said...

Your ability to grasp what you see, especially your detailed buildings and landscapes, is nothing short of phenomenal!

They're fantastic tres cher Matthieu!
Are you in a bikini too when you sketch on the beach?..I do.

Thnx everyone for your comments.
K-cheers pal, I've been trying to put my people sketches in environments lately to tackle size relationships, perspective, composition etc. Helps with the storyboarding.

M@-It ain't easy doing the newspaper trick-burnt my feet!

Oscar-6 months too late but I appreciate the sentiment.

Elliot-SURE i'm sure! You forget my 4 month sojourn in Paris BEFORE coming to Nice!

Joan-gracias Doctor Gonzo!

Max-I promise that's the last of the beach sketches until next year!

Libra-sketch BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Richard- the south of France has been very inspirational for me.

Limbolo-Patrick sends his regards & a bottle of Bandol blanc with a black rabbit on the label?

Jason & Alina-thnx guys!

Stef- I wear a nice one piece, 1920's style bathing costume-stripy!
