Hello! It's been a very nice summer, spent running up and down hills and mountains, across and over obstacles... I have completed my goal of obtaining the Trifecta award on the Spartan Races Eastern Canada Circuit...  And meanwhile, something bad happened on my PC: my hdd holding all my PSDs decided to get sick, something like the click of death... Sometimes, on boot, Windows will detect the disk, but unformatted :( I did not take the time to do a full drive backup, and now all of my files are 'lost' until I get it to the shop..

I have to rethink my worlkflow and setup, but I'm slowly getting back at photography after a well spent active summer! Autumn is coming, and I wont miss a shot!

Beast Mode ON

2 min read
Hello guys, you may have noticed I'm not very active on DA these days... Well, the reason is quite simple, I'm working on another project... Last year I've heard of the Spartan Races, and it intrigued me, and I felt some kind of a call from my childhood... And decided to train for a race (well the initial plan was to earn my Trifecta on the first year, but injuries got in my way). SO, this year I'm back in full force, and already completed 2/3 of the Trifecta. So there's only the Beast left. Trailrunning in the mountains with a $4k DSLR is out of the question, I'm sure you'll all understand ;)

I will return in a couple of weeks, and should be very active in late August.

Until then,

Inspirations...

2 min read
We all have some kind of ritual, habits, whatever, when playing with photos, painting, creating any piece of art... In my very early days (before my first encounter with any decent graphic computer) while drawing or painting (be it oil, or miniatures!), I used to listen to some folkish, northern ambient classical music (!!!), Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors... A couple of years later, late 90s, when I started to play with photoshop, vista pro and bryce 3d, on a very experimental level should I add, I was driven by the black ambient madness of early works by Burzum, Darkthrone, Emperor... (and I'm still a fan, the spectrum has just widened a lot)... But still, there was something missing...

My true inspiration that helped define my current style came when I first heard the Cold Meat Industry sampler, '...And even the wolves hid their teeth...' (www.discogs.com/Various-And-Ev…) Sometimes, you know when a lifechanging event occurs in your life while it happens, and I can tell you, this is one of those.

Still today, when I sit in front of the computer and browse my photos intent on doing some manip, I really enter my 'zone' having Raison d'Être, Arcana, Peter Barjo, early Sephiroth and The Protagonist and other great Dark Ambient Acts playing in the background. (more on the 'zone' or 'flow' later, I've found something very interesting on this subject).

My good friends are filming their first video today, and I'll be part of the event, filming and shooting. The experience in itself will be rewarding for sure, but I should also add that the location will provide me a huuuuuuuge amount of photos to play with later...

I better leave the computer and get ready... :)

After a couple of years being (mostly) away from digital imagery, I am slowly going back to my old friend Photoshop. I don't intend to do a career as an digital artist; just having fun, and express my emotions through enhanced photos, montages, illustrations...

I am thankful to a few friends and family members who kept pushing me for years, and also to two artists that literally shocked my creative side back to life: Alexandre Deschaumes (alexandre-deschaumes.deviantar…) with his awe inspiring documentary 'La Quête d'Inspiration' and Dmitriy Prozorov (tamplierpainter.deviantart.com…), who simply flabbergasted me with his speedpainting of Imperius. They have both moved me, lit back a fire that has been dormant for too long.
