Coucou le Fediverse ⁂
Je viens de mettre à jour mon site avec des images des projets de l'année écoulée.
Vous pouvez aller jeter un œil ici :

Pas mal d'identités visuelles pour de chouettes lieux et évènements, du lettrage, de la mise en pages, des affiches. Et surtout beaucoup de collaborations avec mes amours de @byebyebinary (@marielnils @camillecirclude @enzanitaa) 
Les projets de typos sont encore dans le four. More soon.

Once the Seamour and Marty vinyl toys had arrived in 2007, they became the favorite photography subjects of my wife and me. 
That last post from @Lfaimagebot is from 1925 and has some stunning layouts

It felt great when the Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole vinyl toys were ready to be shipped to designer vinyl stores around the world, and I received my batch. A childhood dream came true.

More pics of the Seamour and Marty vinyl toy preparation by @wookie in Hong Kong, 2007. We chose ball joints for Marty's arm articulation.
The 3D prints became dirty after serving as the mold basis.

Early-stage tests for the Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole vinyl toys, by @wookie in Hong Kong, January 2007.
The 3D prints had become a bit dirty, because they served as a basis for the toy molds.

Back in the mid-2000s, a first step towards the realization of the Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole toys was a 3D print of my character models.
3D printing was still relatively novel tech at the time.

A preparation for the Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole vinyl toys: my color guide with Pantone color values.
If you’ve studied communication 
or graphic design 
did you really like the experience? Doesn’t have to be a college degree by any means. I think about stuff like this a lot, but the World Wide Web can be overwhelming so Mastodon seems like a better place to ask for perspectives / stories. Feel free to DM!
