Jean-Claude Claeys, the gangster's girl
Each illustration by French illustrator Jean-Claude Claeys, represents an act in a story where the protagonists. hustlers and femmes fatales play a game in hyper-realistic tones, where the bank always wins.
Influenced by filmmakers such as the well-known filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock and the classic film noir genre classic cinematographer, of which he declares himself a follower incodicional. In his compositions, the treatment of shadows stands out.
This allows us to appreciate the details that make up each and every one of the illustrations that he approaches, always applying similar techniques. In which color is observed in a very discreet way in the composition of illustration, in whose realization occupies a second plane.
What is important is the gesture of the model he selects to star in his stories, in whose plot emerges a certain bohemian air as well as a purpose of amendment and redemption. The characters are characterized by transmitting a behavior that is at the same time cruel and disbelieving.
Jean-Claude Claeys was born in Paris, in whose streets he grew up spending most of his childhood, as well as his adolescence until he completed his education. This phase gave way to his work in the advertising industry.

Stage that he combined with his incipient career as a comic book artist starting in 1975. From this distant date he has developed most of his career. In that his way of working is curious, since each project is triggered by a series of photographs from different periods.
Although preferably are those made in black and white those that inspire him the most, giving his work a bittersweet and taciturn sense of humor. Claeys also works regularly as a cover illustrator for Néo publication's crime collection.

Fab Ciraolo - Old School Heroes, mythological portraits of Pop Culture
The Chilean Illustrator Fab Ciraolo, distmitifica roles and icons, showing us some of the most ambiguous, frivolous, and even why not say it more bizarre aspects. Of many of the most idiotic personalities of the last one hundred years.
Discontrasting the character sometimes practicing the most militant iconoclasm. His is not only limited to a more or less subjective interpretation from a psychoanalytical perspective of the character. Regardless of whether this is confined to the world of fiction as in the case of Edward Scissorhands.
Emblematic character created by the famous film director Tim Burton. Or real personalities who, due to their transcendence or contribution in some social or historical field, have deserved Fab's creative attention.
Such as relevant and influential figures, each in their own facet, such as Cleopatra, empress of ancient Egypt, one of the first women leaders in history. Or the closest in time, the painter Frida Khalo. He portrays them preserving their almost mythological halo, but subtly incorporating elements that belong to a much more current context.
Adding elements of the contemporary culture that revitalize it, updating it for the new generations that observe it as if it were a figure that was relevant in another time and under another social and cultural prism. He reinvents himself by being able to identify himself with him.
Great fan of music, an element that he adds in the form of a fetish or tattoo to his compositions. In which through collage and nuances of Pop culture, he develops a language where the visual impact of the work leads the viewer to a state of mixed amazement and awe as well as admiration. Exciting sensation that far from being diluted in the innocent effervescence that underlies the background, feeds it by demanding the segregation of large doses of dopamine.
His relationship with art begins in childhood due to the influence of his father, selling his first work at the early age of ten. This makes him think that he can make a living from his art.

Graduated in graphic design, discipline that relegates to the background in favor of the stroke of illustration. With whose works he has managed to make a name for himself thanks to the presence he has on the Internet. He combines his artistic facet with the musical, being a member of the band Oh Margot, with whom he has released an Ep at the end of 2001.
Starting from a quick sketch, he draws by hand, both in pencil and the part of color and shading using a mechanical pencil 01, adding the shadows and finally coloring with watercolors, temperas and acrylics, also oils, dry pastel and colored pencils. Once the preliminary version is ready, it is digitalized and the necessary filters are applied to complete the illustration.

Meags Fitzgerald - Photoboth: a biography, graphic stories inspired by the photomaton
The writing of a book is usually inspired by events, experiences or vicissitudes of which one is a first-person witness. Or by the knowledge provided by a third party such as a friend or access to a story read in the media.
Sometimes one resorts to a historical ephemeris that, combined with a personal experience, generates the argument of a more or less plausible narration. This was the case of the cartoonist Meags Fitzgerald, who, due to her passion for taking passport-size photos of herself in photo booths, had the opportunity to get to know the origin of the story.

And whose adventures have been published in a volume entitled Photoboth: a biography, where parallel to this search. The story of this photographic device is told in a global key and from a domestic and personal point of view, a story dotted with numerous episodes of autobiographical character.
