Felix LaFlamme

Introduced to an airbrush by his dad when he was 10 years old, LaFlamme was influenced by his brother's comic book collection from characters such as Lobo, Judge Dredd and the Dark Knight. A full time artist since 2005, LaFlamme studio is in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada - " a sleepy little town". His techniques encompass traditional drawing and digital production. Amongst recent artists, he has been influenced by Jim Phillips, Shannon Wheeler, David hartman, Jeff Gaither and Eric Pigors. His work has been shown extensively online, in particular on rocktoons.com, and in BW&BK, a canadian heavy metal magazine.

If you like Skulls and Horror related stuff done in a comic book style that really jump off the page, my work will probably be your type of art. In a few words: All my universe is directly influenced by Comic Books, Kustom Kulture, Punk Rock, Horror Movies, Skateboarding, Circus Sideshows, Tiki World, Toys and Tattoos. Some People will categorize it as Pop Surrealism and others as Lowbrow. It doesn't matter... call it whatever you want!

I am also available for custom art projects. Feel free to contact me for more information or to get your project started.

Thanks

Here's a frequently asked question: what do you use to create your art?
Nothing too fancy, I'm a simple guy and use simple equipment. Here's a quick list of basic stuff I use on a regular basis. Of course Feel free to use whatever you want to create your own Art. Each artist has their own preferences.

Paper Small Size: 8.5"X11" (216 X 279mm) letter size mult-iuse paper for prints & copies. Used for little Artworks and sketches. Positive point: Easily scannable on any scanner.

Paper Medium Size: 14"X17" (355 X 430mm) brilliant white paper of medium opacity: Used for larger Artworks. Negative point: Must be scanned in several parts on most scanners.

Pencil: Staedtler Mars micro Mechanical Pencil 0.9mm. Very comfortable in hand - The 0.9HB pencil leads are bold and strong. Perfect for intense sketch sessions.

Markers #1: Sharpie Permanent Markers (fine and bold point). Used for inking bold contour and strong line art.
Markers #2: Staedtler pigment liner (03, 05, 07) Used for inking details and thinner line art.
Markers #3: I found some nice "no name" markers that I use often for inking. I bought a bunch because they are cheap and they do a pretty remarkable job for the price.

Color: The coloring is mostly digitally done usign a mac with a graphic Tablet: Adobe Photoshop CS3 + Adobe Flash CS3 are my Weapons of choice.
