"Bonjour",
After studying at the National Beaux-arts of Paris and National Applied arts and Artcrafts of Paris, I started working in an advertising agency for three years.
Then after for three years with architects and interior designers (shops or showrooms for fashion designers: YSL, Azzedine Alaia, Karl Lagerfeld ).
I'm now free-lance illustrator for many years in various fields: Children's books (fiction and non-fiction) and magazines, architecture, guidebooks.
I took part at the "Bologna fiera del libri" (world children's book fair) non-fiction exhibition in 1993,1994,1995.
I had a personal exhibition about architectural illustration in Machida, Japan in 2003.
I teach illustration in an artschool in Paris.
I have always drawn fashion sketches or illustrations as research works and I gathered some of them here, with portraits of models.

Watercolor is my favorite technique, but for few years I also use digital pencil and soft that reminds me the classical techniques (oil, gouache) I had studied at first.
I hope you will appreciate my works.
Thanks for kind attention,
Philippe
