This 168 pages artbook covers 3 complete years of Research and Development, featuring tons of concept art, background design, backstory and animation keyframes I’ve created with Florent Auguy, 123Klan and the Steambot steam. For the very first time, Sébastien, Florent and myself open up about the creative sparkle around Urbance. You will know everything about the backstory, how Urbance started. In every single page we share our experience and motivation to achieve such as unique vision despite its off-format nature and edgy originality. You will learn about Neo-city, the gangs, the gang members themselves but also how they came to life trhough tons of sketches and animation keyframes.

The quality of the print is gorgeous and the colors have never been that flashy on quality paper; the use of acid and neon Pentone ink colors for the cover immediately gives an electric feel at the tip of your fingers. in my opinion, Genesis of Urbance is a book-to-have for animation lovers and inspired artists. Don’t miss it!

Why 2D? Why Live action? Technically speaking, obviously create 2d and 3d cameras is very powerful because there is no limit, unlike a real camera. But the choice of the media by type of story to tell must be perfectly symbiotic. We can say the Kon pencil hollow lesser wake of our society and its stigmas. In view of what is happening in our societies and our behaviors towards the many problems that will have us resolve very quickly, I wonder what he would have produced? What would he have sought to tell us? How could he see that? What would he have done? I would never have the answers, but I read and see his work without getting tired and every reading I find something hidden that I had not seen or had not over.Too me is work stay essentially anthropological but his eyes still full of poetry.
