Jennifer was kind enough to write and let me know that you have a two-part interview with French fantasy Illustrator and concept artist Jean-Baptiste Monge has posted (, which I previously profiled here) on your blog Academy of art character and creature design notes.
An interview with Jean-Baptiste Monge, part 1 and part 2.
The blog is aimed at students of the Academy of Art University but Oliver has generously shared the interview with the rest of us.
The interview is conducted in English, abundant beautiful Monge's often detailed and wonderful paintings realised together with drawings, sketches and photos of Monge the work (make sure to click on the images for larger versions) illustrated (how I love that phrase).
Monge's work is charming, in the full sense of the word you in draw with beautifully stylized lines and shapes, and then charming touches the eye with beautiful and thoughtful details. He reminds me often illustrators of the golden age of illustration just before and after the turn of the century, so I found the list of influences mentioned it in an interview of particular interest.
He mentioned I did not expect a number of artists and illustrators I would have linked to it from my impression from his style, and some who.
Many of the artists he mentioned were the subject of the earlier posts on lines and colors, including painter and Clsssic illustrators such as W. Waterhouse, Jean-Léon Gérôme, John Bauer, Edmund Dulac, Arthur Rackham, Alphonse Mucha, Norman Rockwell, j. c. Leyendecker Haddon Sundblom and contemporary illustrators such as John Howe, PJ Lynch and James Gurney (links to my posts).
Oliver some resources information on Monge, including its website, a portfolio lists creative talent network, his LinkedIn and Facebook pages and Mr Dumblebee.
