If you ever go to the Minibar in Paris, you can ask for a special – only for your eyes cocktail. Take some Pirart Society spirit, some Minibar spirit, shake it, blend it and there you go. The spring 2010 wallpaper Minibar x Pirart Society.
I don’t really like creating logos because it is a very complicated task. The format is very limited, you need to reach unconscious cognitional processes, at the same time it must be very clear and straight to the point. Not easy at all.
On the other hand it is a very important exercise, a little bit like the “Elevator Pitch” in management, you need to go through that process to better understand your limits and… well and get better at what you do by knowing what you need to work on (and as there still so much for me to learn it’s quite depressing to do logos…).
This is a logo for a bed and breakfast in Brittany (France). My original idea was to show that the business is based on the manor, and also as I wanted to suggest that it is an ancient house – they do their own calvados and cider etc – I thought of working around the idea of the wax seal they put on bottles and letters.

I have been producing a lot of digital works for the past two years (websites, logos, promotional adds, communication support) and by doing so I have been neglecting a little bit traditional painting.
I have been wanting to issue a special art piece based in digital tools for a while. Also creating a piece using digital tools is quite different from brush painting as you can totally differentiate color and shape when using computers. So for me it was quite interesting to really explore the “color arrangement” issue in this work. It takes you back to childhood where you already have the shape and you need to choose the colors. It’s not as easy as it seems.
I have added many of my late inspirations in that work, and as always taking some themes of childhood and working around that.

The latest creation of Captain Tany: Snowboard boots to enhance your winter gigs and urban cruises. This work is a Pirart Society x minibar mix up. “When you walk around with these in the city, it’s like walking on sushine.”
This is a design project and these are not for sale, unless you want to spend an extravagant amount of money on these.

Une équipe de télévision coréenne a fait un reportage sur un bon ami à nous, Yoon Ji-Hiuk, le meilleur joueur de baseball de la décennie en Corée. Là-bas, le baseball est le sport national donc Yoon y jouit d’une aura particulière.
A Paris il se promène incognito, et parle un peu de sa relation au sport et à la perfection. De belles images de Paris, en particulier sur la fin de la vidéo. (On notera qu’il porte pas mal de vêtement de la Pirart Society! Merci Yoon)
