Your art is STUNNING, don't get me wrong! But is there a reason why your Young Avengers cover is $25 and not maybe $5? I'm just curious..

Thanks a lot !

Usually the prices of variants covers are based on the ratio. Let’s say a variant cover comes once every 25, it usually is sold 25 dollars. If it’s one every 50 it’s gonna be 50 dollars. It’s not an absolute rule but it’s a general rule, exception made when they are sold on conventions where their prices reach unbelievable prices.

I had actually one a 1/25 variant cover that I saw on sale at the chicago comic con for no less than 75 $.

The cover you did for Suicide risk is beautiful, even though I've never read any of that comic its just gorgeous I want to go read it now. I just have a question, you said it was Eros and Thanatos, did you mean Eris and Thanatos, or am I just getting it all wrong because I haven't read the comic. It's beyond beautiful either way.

mm, I didn’t mean that Eros and Thanatos were literaly the characters of the comics. It’s a common reference to speak about the desire to live, love and lust ( Eros ) and the desire the destroy and bring death ( thanatos ) that both exist in each human being and are very often intricated.

I'm a high school student competing the biggest academic competition in my state on Feb. 2nd, and as my subject area is visual arts, you're one of the artists I plan on talking about in my interview and I have a few questions (if you have a moment). What are your favorite styles/methods? What message do you want to send with your art, and what is the most important part of art to you? Do you have any other advice for this audition or art in general? Thank you very much!

Sure ! It’s an honor ^^

For the method, I usually go for the “wathever works style”. Usually it is digital, photoshop mostly. I read the plot or the book, try to find what bell it rings in my mind and try to dig in this direction. I have a lot of classical references so you might recognise a bit of Delatour, Mucha, Egon Schiele, Arthur Racham, Bilibine and many more if I think it would fit  or I could learn something from their technique at the moment..

But also, as an illustrator, I think that the book always comes first so I really try to give it a pertinent cover. Not just a good painting but a painting who tells the reader something like ” read me I am exactly what you are expecting “. Because it is the soul of cover art, putting the right book between the right hands.

As an artist, or rather when I was still an art student I was always wondering about what I would choose to become and the thing is, the only thing that makes sense for me, art-wise, is when art is close to real people’s life. I love the pop art. I think it is just wonderfull that anybody can read a comic book without particular art knowledge. And I love that readers can carry it with them to school, work or wherever they feel comfortable.

It is really a big honor to work in that field.
