Hello my beautiful people. I'm almost done with laying out all the pages of Tracy's book. I was planning to complete this yesterday, but research took longer than usual. Still, I'm pretty happy with it, and I can't see why I wouldn't be finished by tonight.

______________________________________________________________________

I was 23 when I started my illustration career. It pretty much fell out of the sky with a major offer to illustrate a pitch for a TV show by two major celebrities (in Quebec :P). This didn't go anywhere, and I can honestly say that I wasn't ready for this anyway, but at the time, I didn't have the experience necessary to know that, and jumped in it without hesitation.

Around the same time, I watched "Atlantis, the lost empire", and I can still remember my reaction to the character designs in the theater. I was IN LOVE, and the movie wasn't even finish that I was already imagining Helga and Kida together.

So I drew this little series of pictures. Showed them to a guy I knew online and he answered me with my second illustration contract offer. I had just been hired to do pin ups on "Star Ship Titus", which later brought me to illustrate "M.A.D"

I though I had lost most of the archives from this period of my life. But a few years back, I reconnected with my old room mate, who was also my webmaster at the time, and he told me that he still had a copy of my files!!!

Hope you'll dig it.
