For some time at Absolu there was this Editor-in-chief's friend (it often works that way) who was in charge of haunting restaurants, Gault-et-Millaut fashion. He was quite hard on the various places he experimented in Paris, hence the starters...
   
That was about a full-length article documenting various financial scandals impacting the gaullist regime. The Lorraine Cross (with the two horizontal bars) was their holy symbol, which I drew in a state of advanced decrepitude. The symbols have changed, but not our republican practices and wrongdoings...

The moment when Franco was clinically dead in
some Madrid hospital, but was claimed to be still alive
by the agonizing regime whilethey tried
to engineer some sort of transition. 

After Michelangelo (David in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence) and Maillol (the big reclining Nudes in the Tuileries garden in Paris).
I vaguely remember the subject was about sex in art, and how modern audiences reacted to non-contemporary art.
 
That was a lot of fun. The article was about a massive forgery scheme that unfolded in France, based on the Fr100 banknotes. Those were called "Colberts", after Louis XIV's Finance Minister whose face appears on one side. I drew the picture (gouache) from a  banknote (maybe a forged one, who knows) and just added the sunshades, which were not, I insist, on the banknote.

The character thus obtained (with no sunshades on) I used for the story Beauty and the Beast, here.
   
   
This was an illustration I made for Web Literacy, a European Center for Modern Languages website, one of its sections being about spyware. It was actually published in an Academic Journal in the US, with my permission. I saw it appear as well in a US high school website, without any request though, a strange comportment for an institution that is supposed to set the example...

This illustrated an article I wrote about the perils of web-based adverts, and
how they could be far more efficient than their real-world counterparts
and actually capable of literally grabbing the user's attention
 
This originally appeared in Absolu way back in the 70s, showcasing an article about the difficulties of getting contraception accepted in France. The object the Thinker would then hold to his puzzled examination was of course a white pill.

Decades later the pill was no longer a problem, but using a computer was. So I decided to turn the pill into a mouse to illustrate the introduction to a teacher training session I was to organize about Computer Aided Language Learning. It was also published in a related article for an Academic Journal.
