Tell us about your background?
I studied my Baccalaureat Arts Appliqués (A levels equivalent) in the town of Nîmes. So, I studied one year after this in a school of design.
After my studies, I worked in a creative studio of humoristic products (t-shirts, mugs and a lot of items). I learnt web design in a center formation specialised in multimedia and web.
I usually start drawing on the paper with watercolours, chalk and a lot of technics.
I create my numeric drawings with photoshop and illustrator and make web design with dreamweaver and flash.
I like the illustrations which are out of step with current tendency because most of them are timeless in the art history.
I also like modern design and vintage movement that I’ve been practicing for 5 years.
I search news ideas to create very different artistic products…
Now, I work in a long term project with a very original background for a comic or a feature.
I work in freelance with “création visuelle” agency (www.creation-viuselle.com).
I’m available for any freelance work or proposition.
Thanks Montalban for having taken his time to make this interview with us
Interview done by Flavio Monteiro for UAILAB
September 2006
I really have a couple of styles of working, my highly rendered work is more influenced by traditional fine art, then theres a more commercial side that is favoured by the editorial, publishing, fashion market.
I got involved with illustration four years ago. I’m self-taught, I have no degree (or anything close to it), nor any professional training.
I try to do whimsical and abstract drawings. I think my style is a mish mash of the ways that effort ends up coming across.
