For this cover illustration project for the novel L'Horizon Trompeur, the challenge was to visually capture the atmosphere of the book, which swings between the apparent tranquility of a new beginning and the underlying darkness of a mysterious place.

Pour ce projet d&rsquo;illustration de couverture pour le roman L&rsquo;Horizon Trompeur, le défi était de capturer visuellement l’atmosphère du livre, qui oscille entre la tranquillité apparente d’un nouveau départ et les ténèbres sous-jacentes d’un lieu empreint de mystère. The illustration was created on Procreate, directly from my iPad. I drew inspiration from a sketch I [&hellip;]

In tribute to David Lynch, I created for the press a portrait of this iconic filmmaker known for his unmistakable style.

David_Lynch-Portrait-Jason_Dejaegere@2x

Rather than simply depicting him in his usual suit, I wanted to integrate elements from his cinematic universe directly into his clothing. The legendary red curtains from Twin Peaks naturally dress his suit, while the zigzag pattern from the Red Room floor makes its way onto his shirt. A visual nod, both a tribute and [&hellip;]

The Church is increasingly trying to modernize its image and reach younger people, whether through social media, special events, or religious figures more in tune with today’s culture.
So, to illustrate a press article about the 2025 Jubilee at the Vatican, I thought it would be interesting to bring together two totally opposite worlds.

L’Église cherche de plus en plus à moderniser son image et à toucher les jeunes, que ce soit via les réseaux sociaux, des événements dédiés ou des figures religieuses plus connectées à la culture actuelle. Alors pour illustrer un article de presse sur le Jubilée 2025 au Vatican, je me suis dit que ce serait [&hellip;]

While working on an illustration for a magazine post inspired by 90s surf vibes, I couldn't stop thinking about the last place I visited on my round-the-world trip: Mendihuaca beach, in Colombia. It’s a place that really stuck with me. Super simple, raw, peaceful. Just 500 meters of sand with a few hostels, some small restaurants and surf clubs. The kind of place where you slow down and reconnect. Naturally, it became the perfect setting for the illustration.

En travaillant sur une illustration d&rsquo;article de magazine autour de la vibe surf des années 90, j’ai tout de suite pensé à l’endroit où nous avons terminé notre tour du monde (ma compagne et moi) : la plage de Mendihuaca, en Colombie. Ce lieu m’a laissé une trace forte. Il y a quelque chose de [&hellip;]

I don't know if you've ever stood at the foot of the Perito Moreno glacier, but it's something you don't forget. Not just because of its scale, but because of the sound it makes. The glacier cracks constantly, it screams. That haunting atmosphere became the starting point for a crime novel built around climate issues. And naturally, its illustrated cover.

Je ne sais pas si vous avez déjà été au pied du Perito Moreno, mais c’est une expérience qui ne laisse pas indifférent. Par sa grandeur, bien sûr, mais surtout par le bruit qu’il émet. Ce glacier craque en continu, il crie, littéralement. C’est à partir de cette sensation que m’est venue l’idée d’un roman [&hellip;]

After being pleasantly surprised by the film Un Ours dans le Jura, a kind of French Fargo led by the great duo Franck Dubosc and Laure Calamy, I needed to create a magazine-style illustration inspired by it.

Released in late 2024, Juror #2, Clint Eastwood’s latest film completely captivated me. The plot, filled with tension and mystery, stayed with me long after the credits rolled. It’s exactly the kind of story I would have loved to read as a novel. That thought sparked an idea: what if the film had been adapted into a crime novel? I decided to illustrate a potential book cover inspired by the movie.

Sorti au cinéma fin 2024, le dernier film de Clint Eastwood m’a totalement captivé. Le scénario, chargé de tension et de mystère, m’a profondément marqué. C’est typiquement le genre d’histoire que j’aurais aimé découvrir dans un roman, à travers les pages d’un bon polar. Cette réflexion m’a donné l’envie d’imaginer une couverture de livre, comme [&hellip;]

The summer of 2024 was marked by a major sporting event: the Olympic Games. As an athlete myself, the competition gave me the idea to capture moments just before the action, before a match or a decisive move. My goal was to create a series of illustrations that tell the story of a sport, focusing on the key moments that lead up to the action. From the gear and preparations to the first second before the whistle blows, I aimed to visually capture the essence of the sporting world.

I created this series of illustrated portraits for a magazine article about The Substance, directed by Coralie Fargeat and starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. And honestly… it hit me like a ton of bricks. I absolutely loved it ! For its bold visual style, its intensity, and its daring narrative. From the very first scenes, I knew I was watching something special. So working on this project was pure joy !
