Today, I’m excited to introduce you to “L’esprit du pic,” a project that holds a special place in my heart as an internationally published cartoonist and graphic novel artist. Through this collaboration, I’m delighted to present a collection of hand-drawn illustrations that beautifully capture the essence of the Pic St Loup Region in Hérault.

Le Loup joue aux boules - Pic Saint Loup

La vie en rose sur Vespa Rose - Pic Saint Loup

C'est l'heure de l'Apéro - Pic Saint Loup

At the core of “L’esprit du pic” lies a series of illustrations featuring endearing animal characters engaged in the everyday activities, sports, and leisurely moments that define life in the Pic St Loup Region. From the playful boars to the sprightly hares, and the iconic wolf symbolizing the spirit of Pic St Loup, each illustration celebrates the region’s distinctive charm.

How to Effectively Use Mascots and Comic Art to Convey Your Message – Marsden Illustration

Mascots and comic art are powerful marketing tools that businesses of all sizes and types can use to effectively communicate their message to audiences of all ages and completely transcend language barriers.

The Power of Comic Strips

Comic strips can communicate concepts and ideas to audiences of all ages and completely transcend languages. They can be used to give friendly reminders, offer tips, and provide educational material. For example, Coca-Cola assigned me to create wordless comic strips to remind people to recycle cans which were printed directly on the cans. These strips can also be used for internal purposes such as employee training and skill development, corporate training and executive briefings, or to enhance presentations and PowerPoint slides. They are also a wonderful media for e-learning or educational material.

It’s been a while since I updated my news blog. Things have been rather quiet on the project front due to the pandemic (like for many), so I don’t have a lot of new client work to show you, but I thought I would say a quick hello.

I recently started a TikTok channel, where I mostly post recordings of live drawings (digital and analog). So if you are on there and enjoy drawings, drop by and have a look.
