What’s the link between the solar system, the brain, microbiota and a plasma globe?

It’s a question I asked myself when creating my first publishing commission!

And I chose … a space shuttle to tie it all together: on their shuttle, two little characters explore the exhibits at the Espace des Sciences in Champs Libres, Rennes.

These illustrations were published in the October issue of Ici Rennes Métropole magazine to accompany an article on this cultural and scientific offering for young readers.

I’m very grateful to the magazine’s editorial team for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this issue, and thus achieve my first publication!

I drew the characters and the shuttle in ink and painted the rest in oil. The magazine’s editorial team then chose to use the text in bubbles and in this font. For my part, I proposed a free text next to the illustration: I like words suspended in mid-air.

And here’s how it turned out in the magazine!

See you soon.
