Chiara Bautista: the star wolf, the masked woman and the bunnies

Some artist are mysterious, but Chiara Bautista is pure mystery. Who is this great illustrator only posting from time to time on her Facebook? I really knew few things about her: she is mexican, she lives in Tucson, Arizona and work for newspapers.

All I really know is that I’m in love with her graphical poetical alternative universe and especially some of characters: a long white haired naked woman wearing a bunny mask on her head accompanied by her love, a star wolf. There are bunnies too, and a (sometime) talking skull.

I love Inktober’s diversity. Diversity of style, of origins, of point of views.  Some drawings amaze me, others drawings disturb me, some are questioning me, some are empowering me.

31 tales illustrations by Dimitris Pantazis

Once upon a time, there was a greek artist named Dimitris Pantazis. I discovered his art last year during Inktober. I already wrote about him in my first article about Jake Parker‘s challenge, how I liked the way he played with mythological characters.

Inktober revient !

C’était quelques jours avant le 1er octobre. Je cherchais des idées pour un nouvel article sur mon blog. Le sujet était Inktober, et je cherchais un angle original, mais rien ne venait. J’ai regardé la page blanche du traitement de texte sur mon ordinateur portable, j’ai soupiré, j’ai déplacé la souris lentement sur le bureau et j’ai cliqué sur le pilote de la série Game of Thrones. Oui, je suis un procrastinateur, j’avoue. Je m’ennuyais, aucune idées n’émergeait, j’étais fatigué. J’ai fin par m’endormir devant l’épisode que j’avais déjà vu et revu. (English version of this article is here)

Inktober is coming ! (A game of tones)

It was a few days before the first of October. I was searching ideas for my new blog article to come. It was about Inktober, and I wanted something fresh and original, but nothing was coming. I looked at the white page on my laptop, I sighed, move the mouse on the desktop and launch the pilot of Game of Thrones. Yes, I am a procrastinator, I confess. I was bored. I was tired. I felt asleep.

Inktober, the month of Artists

Let’s continue to visit the world of Inktober, which brightens up this October with the graphic production of tens of thousands of amateur and professional illustrators. You’ve read the previous article, so you know the rules of the challenge created by Jake Parker : produce a drawing every day, possibly inspired by a prompt list. 

Inktober, the spring of Artists

October, its rain, its mushrooms, and its millions of cartoonists making us dream, publishing a drawing every day. October is a delicious month because of Inktober… and Halloween is coming too… and us, frenchies, can celebrate comics at Quai des Bulles (a comics festival in a cute medieval city : Saint-Malo).
