Even though all cocktails should be simple, I’ll excuse a little flair for this awesome ice ball cocktail because it’s just too much fun. An ice cube sphere looks like it’s frozen with a drink inside until it’s hammered to break open the liquid goodness. It all works perfectly because the former ice sphere that held the drink transforms into the perfect rocks for the drink.

Welcome to Volurheim

Even Amundsen est un concept artist norvégien travaillant pour Blizzard. Je vous avais déjà fait découvrir sa version de Link, il y a quelque temps. Grand fan de Harry Potter, il s’est amusé cette fois à designer les professeurs de Volurheim, une école de magie Scandinave toute droit sortie de son imagination. Une équipe qu’on verrait sans problème accompagner ses élèves au Trophée des Trois Sorciers. Je vous laisse donc faire connaissance avec le staff de Volurheim !

Even Amundsen is a concept artist from Norway working for Blizzard. I already introduced you to his art through his take on the Legend of Zelda. As a Harry Potter big fan, he decided this time to imagine a complete staff of teachers, from a Nordic school of magic called Volurheim. I can already see those staff members accompany their students at the Triwizard Tournament. Great work !

Holly 18 colors, Batman !

Quand nous sommes tombés sur le portfolio de Mark Summers, nous sommes tombés à la renverse… Cet artiste Américain au style extraordinaire s’est voué corps et âme à la technique de la carte à gratter depuis 35 ans. Il a énormément travaillé avec des journaux et des magazines comme le New York Times, le Chicago Times, le Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, the Atlantic, Sports Illustrated et même récemment pour le Monde, en France. Il a créé des couvertures de livres pour des grands classiques comme Poe, Dickens ou Asimov, a designé 16 timbres pour les United States Postal Services, le Royal Mail anglais ou la Poste Canadienne. Il a été directeur artistique de Barnes and Noble. Bref, vous l’avez compris, Mark Summers est un très grand monsieur. Alors quand il a accepté de collaborer avec nous sur notre projet officiel Batman, nous étions très excités, d’autant qu’il a choisi de travailler sur la série TV culte des 60s ! Nous pouvons d’ores et déjà vous assurer qu’il s’agit d’une des plus belles sérigraphies que nous ayons jamais produites, et le résultat « en vrai » est à couper le souffle. Une pièce exceptionnelle, car cette sérigraphie officielle Batman comporte pas moins de 18 passages de couleurs… Un travail de titan pour notre sérigraphe, le tout imprimé sur du papier d’une qualité hors-norme. Vous l’aurez compris, ce petit chef-d’oeuvre est un must have pour tous les fans de Batman, et une des pièces maîtresses de notre collection. Cette sublime sérigraphie, jusqu’ici disponible exclusivement à la French Paper Gallery, sera désormais disponible en ligne sur French Paper Art Club dès aujourd’hui jeudi 26 novembre… Alors gardez l’oeil ouvert et vite ! A la Batmobile !

When we first stumbled upon Mark Summers‘ portfolio, we fell from our chairs. This US artist has devoted the past 35 years of his career to the technique of scratchboard. His career started off primarily in the newspaper industry, with clients like the New York Times, the Chicago Times, the Wall Street Journal and many others. He has worked for every major magazine, and has contributed work for Rolling Stone, Newsweek, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Sports Illustrated and numerous covers for Time. Mark has contributed covers for most of the major publishers in the world and has collaborated with James Michener and Issac Asimov amongst others. He has also done lavishly illustrated volumes of Poe, Dickens, « Moby Dick », « Gulliver’s Travels ». Mr. Summers has also designed and published 16 stamps for the United States Postal Service, as well as The Royal Mail and Canada Post. His work is best remembered for his decade long collaboration with Barnes and Noble, where he created the visual persona of their stores, doing portraits of famous authors that decorated their walls. For his work Mark has received 6 medals from the Society of Illustrators in New York and last count he had received just over 350 awards at home and globally. When he accepted to collaborate with us on this Batman project, we were very excited. When he told us he wanted to work on the Batman 60s TV show, we were over excited. When we discovered the final art, our minds simply blew away ! We are proud to reveal today what may well be the most gorgeous and complicated screen print we ever produced ! 18 colors, a titan work for our printer, but also one of the most incredible prints he ever produced. This masterpiece was only available in our French paper Gallery in Paris, and will be available online today at a random hour on French Paper Art Club. Quick ! To the Batmobile!
