I need to thank you all for everything, watchers, visitors, gallery directors etc...

making art is nothing if it is not to be displayed to a larger public or friends :)

Also, In These days, everything is virtual, even Art! So I will maybe think one day to put this into a real thing, like a book, or an exhibition... we will see... for now, Thanks for you warm support so far, and welcome anytime to my virtual exhibition :P

...and yes, I saw Journey to the center of the Eart Yesterday, not very good, but not that bad! I enjoyed to see my concept of the center of the Earth very well reproduced in the matte paintings!
I hope to be allowed to show you soon this illustration I did for New Line cinema last Year.

Kuuudoooos!

After one year on this page, I finally decided to create a new gallery dedicated specifically to my photographic artworks.

I think it was mixing too many different styles and mediums, so now, please continue to visit this gallery for all my digital artworks and feel free to check out my new photo gallery/portfolio here : http://el-rafo.deviantart.com/ !!

my Photo-gallery ID is ~el-rafo, feel free to add me as Friend to get the updates, will be more often than my digital paintings ;)

thanks for all the support so far, the 67,000 pages views before the end of my first deviant year is very encouraging, I thank you so much for al ]]> http://raphael-lacoste.deviantart.com/journal/Iron-Man-237331400 http://raphael-lacoste.deviantart.com/journal/Iron-Man-237331400 Wed, 14 May 2008 08:55:26 PDT Iron Man... nonadult journals/personal Raphael-Lacoste http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/a/raphael-lacoste.gif Copyright 2008-2013 *Raphael-Lacoste @raphaellacoste
I mean, It is so rare to see a good mix between impressive visuals and deep, interesting story!
I Think will stick to my blade runner,  brazil, and children of men for a long time :-)
Maybe Marketing/productions are still afraid to loose money on good movies ...

anyways, spent a good time with my pop corns, enjoyed it, but will forget it tomorrow and won't buy the DVD  :) ]]> http://raphael-lacoste.deviantart.com/journal/art-Rippers-237359602 http://raphael-lacoste.deviantart.com/journal/art-Rippers-237359602 Sun, 11 May 2008 16:33:34 PDT art Rippers ... nonadult journals/personal Raphael-Lacoste http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/a/raphael-lacoste.gif Copyright 2008-2013 *Raphael-Lacoste @raphaellacoste my art is well known so it is easy to identify the rippers...
how a guy can be stupid enough to pretend being the creator of my picture ? can you see his other artworks ? well, he could have learned from me but seems like he prefers to have success without working, using my work is certainly less time consuming ( it took me years to reach my skills and I never posted the art of other artists pretending it was my creations...) ]]> http://raphael-lacoste.deviantart.com/journal/Sectrum-15-and-interview-237585949 http://raphael-lacoste.deviantart.com/journal/Sectrum-15-and-interview-237585949 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:04:14 PDT Sectrum 15 and interview... nonadult journals/personal Raphael-Lacoste http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/a/raphael-lacoste.gif Copyright 2008-2013 *Raphael-Lacoste @raphaellacoste
