- MY CUSTOMERS-
The heart of my work
​
Above all and before even talking about opinions, testimonials or distinctions, I would like to pay honor and tribute to all those who trust me, who buy my creations, are loyal, share my work on networks, support me in my adventure and some from the very beginning.
All those thanks to whom I can live from my passion every day, those who literally make me eat. No artist, entrepreneur or business should ever lose sight of this. ​
Those which ultimately represent the only opinions which have real importance for me. ​
A huge thank you to all of you: my customers and subscribers! ​
Here are some photos of receptions from my clients as well as some reviews posted on my networks or on various sites.

- OFFICIAL COLLABORATION WITH ACTOR JIM KRUT -
Helicopter Zombie in "Dawn of the Dead" movie
by George A. Romero
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
After sending my zombie bust "BIG DADDY" from the film "LAND OF THE DEAD" by GEORGE A. ROMERO, approved by Mr. EUGENE CLARK himself, who had done me the honor of requesting a copy for his conventions and signing all the certificates of authenticity.
Following this, thanks to one of my very friendly clients, Mr. Alexandre Ratel, writer of zombie novels and unconditional fan of Romero, my work was seen by Mr. JIM KRUT, actor of the "HELICOPTER ZOMBIE" in the cult masterpiece "DAWN OF THE DEAD" (aka ZOMBIE) from 1978 by GEORGE A. ROMERO.
Mr. Krut then contacted me to congratulate me on my work and offer to create a sculpture of his character to bring to his conventions. You can imagine the immense joy for me to be chosen by an actor in such a cult film which rocked my youth.
So of course I accepted this superb project without being asked! ^^
And now after several months of work, this bust will be revealed to you in a few days, hoping that it will please early fans. I hope I have done proper homage and justice to his character.
🔥 [WHO IS HELICOPTER ZOMBIE?] 🔥
Despite its very short appearance time, this zombie has become totally legendary thanks to its particularly gory and graphic death orchestrated by the grand master TOM SAVINI. A scene that has become totally cult, even placing itself in the “TOP 8 zombie deaths in film” and “TOP 100 scenes in horror film history”.
​
But if this “Helicopter Zombie” only speaks to the most die-hard fans of the genre, that’s normal. The reason is that this scene only exists in Romero's US version and was unfortunately cut in DARIO ARGENTO's shortened European edit. On our lands, the film was also renamed "ZOMBIE", not to be confused with the film of the same name by LUCIO FULCI released in 1979 which is in reality "ZOMBIE 2", a film which, over the course of its production, became indirectly a prologue to Romero's film explaining the origins of the invasion.

- WETA WORSHOP -
Special effects Studio (Lord of the rings)
​
​
​
​
The New Zealand studio WETA WORKSHOP founded in 1986 by Richard Taylor specializes in special effects.
His reputation is well established since she produced all the special effects, costumes, armor, weapons, creatures and models for the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" directed by Sir PETER JACKSON. ​
But long before being at the head of the WETA studio, Richard Taylor had worked as a makeup artist, creator of SFX and prosthetics on the film "BRAINDEAD" (1993) by P. Jackson, of which I created a replica of the famous custard scene (Custard - Braindead). Creation of which I am very proud, since I managed to identify and obtain the same collection bowls in English earthenware as those used in the scene, in order to create a piece that is as screen accurate as possible (as close as possible to the scene original). ​
That's how I decided to send photos of my creation to the studio...they loved my work and asked me for details on how I made it.
My little creation was therefore shared and relayed with the entire WETA WORKSHOP team and especially to its founder, Sir Richard Taylor, telling me to "continue my incredible work" and "not to hesitate to share with them my future creations on this film”! ​
Very proud of this, especially since “Braindead” has a very special place in my heart and is quite simply my favorite horror film!

Sculpture competition "Modelsculpt"-
Second place
​
​
​
​
​
​

​
​
​
​
​
​
While I had only been learning sculpture on my own for a few months, I saw a sculpture competition on the theme "Alien-Insect" on a forum and decided to participate (given the theme, I couldn't do not do otherwise! ^^).
Despite the excellent level of some participants, I had the great surprise of finishing second in this competition with my ALIEN CENTIPED which I had named VETUS MALACCOLABIS. Entirely hand sculpted in Monster clay for a size of around thirty centimeters.
This second place in this competition was a very good test for me. This allowed me to sculpt my first project on an imposed theme and forced me to show my work to other people... It was a great source of motivation which pushed me to persevere on this path. ​
This sculpture therefore symbolizes the beginning of my adventure!
