NEW PICTURES (like a summer postcard from France ; )









Dear friends,

It has been an especially hot summer in France, and I feel like this summer heat has unconsciously reflected in my images: a postcard-like city, an arrogant foreign student in Toulouse, a highway rest area, a train heading for vacation...

The one named Carte Postale is my tribute to those old postcards that aimed to be humorous, sometimes naughty. There was often a little written phrase to support the image. It says " Coucou les puceaux ! J'espère que le Diable ne vous rendra pas visite cette nuit ! ".
"No More Tantrums" (the one in the train) required a lot of effort from me, I spent a whole day using AI and Photoshop to include real people. Do you think it was worth it? Or do you prefer simpler compositions like 'The Arrogant Foreign Student'?

Oh! And I included Theresa's testimony for the magazine "Families & Values" in the teaser. Read it and tell us what you think of her technique.  

VIP friends, you'll also get "The Frog" in high definition and "Last Rest Area Before 3 Hours Driving" :) 

A bientôt !

Barbara O'Toole's private picture, and others inspired by her beautiful work

 





As promised, here is a photo from Barbara O'Toole's private collection. This magnificent piece is called "The All Over Burn" and dates from 2013. It was at that time that Barb told me she had decided to move from pure drawing to Photoshop. I would so love for outraged Barb to come complain that I shared this photo, but unfortunately that would be a miracle now.

"The Flirt" is my humble contribution to try to bring Barb's universe back to life.

Concerning the photos for VIP, I think that many of you will be happy to find again the traditional education magazine "Families & Values". The image is called "True Faith".

"Soothing Cream Relief Moment" is the moment of tenderness that follows punishment. 

"Et au lit à 21 heures !! (and bedtime at 9)" is a way for me to exorcise old memories, when I spent the long summer holidays alone with my Mother in a country house in France. It was like being in a couple, but one of the two has exorbitant power over the other.

All those private photos of unlucky boys (models of at least 18 years old) are already in your mailbox, dear VIPs

Best always,

AleX
