Les éditions Le Feu Sacré et Happy Trout Productions ont la grande joie de vous présenter le book trailer de TRAUM : PHILIP K. DICK, LE MARTYR ONIRIQUE d’Aurélien Lemant, à paraître le lundi 02 avril prochain !
I just made this illustration of the Underworld for the unofficial Tori Amos fansite Tori’s Maze created by Cécile Desbrun, with my graphic designs. This is a digital collage of photographs. Tori Amos is the Underworld receptionist (photographed by Victoria Will). Tori’s fans will recognize the Red Baron crashed plane.
You can see details of three famous sculptures I love: Le Bernin’s Proserpine, Carpeaux’s Ugolin and a little part of Rodin’s Gates of Hell, and a little tribute to Dali’s painting of Narcisse… When this picture will be in the fantastic Toriland section of Tori’s Maze, you’ll go to different articles about the Underworld, Persephone/Proserpine and other Tori Amos’ underworld-related texts. Just wait and see…

This is the page of my graphic design website about my painting and drawings. This is an illustration made in 2009 with India ink (except the banner). I love using this technique, with brushes especially (like in this one).
A portrait of Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven, drawn with a simple blue pen. I like using this rough technic, because if you make a mistake, you must deal with it, or throw away what you’ve done.
I made this drawing of Clint Eastwood in 2005, and two years later I was glad to see him in flesh and blood in Lyon, I was happy like a child ! I didn’t speak to him, I was just in the audience, but it was unforgettable.

This is the home page of the unofficial Tori Amos fansite Tori’s Maze created by Cécile Desbrun with a graphic design by myself. If you’re a fan of Tori Amos’ music, the site will blow your mind, because Cécile did a terrific job with her thematic articles, songs analyses, lyrics, pictures… And I hope, if you’re not a fan, you could enjoy its graphic design and discover the ideas behind Tori Amos’s songs.
Why a maze motif ? “Because going through Tori’s music and studying it is like walking into this giant maze where everything is interconnected and this is something that we wanted to translate visually as well as through the navigation system” as Cécile says. Tori Amos is the daughter of a methodist minister but she has Cherokee roots, so we’ve decided to represent this duality with two sorts of maze: the Christian maze of the cathedral of Chartres (left), and the Indian Hopi maze (right). There is also duality between rationality and irrationality. When you rollover on each side, you can access different parts of the website.
This is a tribute to the Under the Pink artwork by Cindy Palmano.

This is Emilie Souillot’s documentary Histoire (s) de Jazz, Le Hot Club de Lyon movie poster I did in 2010. With digital illustration and photographs, I tried to evocate the atmosphere of Lyon’s oldest jazz club, the Hot Club. This nostalgic (and funny too !) french movie tells the little stories of this place where great jazzmen come to play since 1947.

When you arrive in my graphic design website, you’ll have this map from by handmade popup portfolio (this is just the left part here). I’ve painted It on paper, then darkened it on Photoshop. When you roll-over on one of these lands (categories), the selected area lights itself. There are four lands :
- Virtual World : webdesign, pixel art…
- Moviesland : my fiction and non-fiction movies ;
- Images and Words Kingdom : my writings about movies, Sci-Fi and Philip K. Dick (as I said before, I’m writing an essay about him) ;
- Handmade Territory : my drawings and paintings.
This is the home page of my graphic design website (www.jeremy-zucchi.com). You can see the first pages of my handmade popup portfolio above the introduction text.
I love very old maps, like in Lord of the Rings, so I’ve decided to illustrate the world of my website as an unknown territory. I have always been fascinated by the mention of “Terra incognita” in these old maps.
“It’s A Small World” is a reference to the famous Disneyland attraction, because this is a close world, like a flat planet. These are elements I’m thinking about in my book on Philip K. Dick.
I’m here too !
Hi, I’m a French graphic designer. Don’t be afraid by my poor english ! My website is in french, so I created this tumblr because I think it could be interesting for non-French speakers to see my creations.
It’s too bad my english is so poor, because in French I speak and write a lot to explain what I’m doing, and how. I’m also a movie director, and the writer of an essay about Philip K. Dick’s aesthetic (I’m interested by the place of images in his writings and in movies inspired by his works). So the most part of this tumblr will be visual, but it’s what you expect of a graphic designer, right?
