thanks , hahaha :)

thank you very much, this is exactly my initial source of inspiration and now a common thread. I take the opposite view of the golden record and the pioneer plates in the sense that I like to think that my engravings could resemble (human typography and occult elements aside) what we could see on an extraterrestrial ship

Nevermind, I bought it, it wasn’t nearly as pricey as I thought it would be. Support artists.

Beautiful. Do you per chance know an electronic music band called Carbon Based Lifeforms or is it a coincidental name?

yea i like this band ! there is no direct link to them apart from the fact that I find this title cool and that it was in the theme :)

check their profile

Mine :)

yes, you can find my website link on my profile

Really nice. Curious what it’s printed on?

thanks a lot, il’s printed on 200g/m2 Japanese black Satogami paper

Your rectangular pieces would work really well as deskmats

indeed, it could. I have already seen an artist with a fairly similar style who had cast his plaque in epoxy resin to make a desk

How long did it take for you to make this? rather how long does it take for you to finish a piece from planning to execution, I’m very interested to know the process

from the design work on an illustrator, to transfer to lino plate and engraving, more than a hundred hours. engraving the plaque took me a little over 30 hours of work. You will find photos of the plates on my insta in bio :)

Humans are ultimately quite absent from that work, the theme is more exobiology :) Sometimes there are direct links, sometimes not at all, it is a mixture of one third, two thirds of figurative elements and abstract elements without there necessarily being a link between the different parts. I am looking above all for graphic coherence and a homogeneous, egnigmatic whole before a real meaning. it is above all a purely graphic work. a framework is still present: exobiology and cosmology. there is a topographical map, cosmological elements, figurative relief, an element which is related to bacterial life, a carbon atom, a molecule relating to “chnops” main elements of organic chemistry, a bit of dna …all of this refers to the appearance of life elsewhere in space, all mixed with elements with occult/scifi connotations

thanks ! :)

thank you very much! ( the frame is not real, it’s a mock up to highlight the work but I would love to find one in this shade) :)

Thanks a lot ! happy to be there, following the good advice of a friend :) I know Culture Hustle a little, I just saw posts about their black pigment in particular, it looks very interesting. I will look in more detail

Gorgeous! That was an immediate buy. Any tips on where to get a nice frame?

thank you very much ! :) personally I use glass frames with a thin border (no more than 1 cm) black or gold. A varnished wood that tends towards gold as in the photo could also be very suitable…being in France, I leave it to someone else to worry about where to find it :)
