Olivier Bertrand was born in Marseille in 1975, to a French father and an Asian mother. He became fascinated with drawing, visual arts and, more specifically, origami at a very early age. “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been captivated by the metamorphosis of a simple sheet of paper which, with a few smart folds, comes to life and sparks emotion.” After graduating with a Master’s in Economics and completing his studies, he finally chose to move into web design. 15 years on, he took advantage of a period of convalescence to go back to roots, to his first love. Although this time round he’s not folding pieces of paper, his mantra remains the same: and it’s cardboard that he works with a new twist. By assembling bits of cardboard together, he now creates extraordinarily-amazing life-sized animals.

| "Maryann": ink brush drawing on acrylic with collage. |
Whenever I use acrylics, I use the leftover acrylic on all kinds of paper. With no ides what I will use them for later on. Here is a sample.
Tonight I decided to try an ink brush drawing on it.
My first ink-brush was dry, but still usable to start.
I used torn pieces of heavier paper, leaving the torn edges to show. I like what it adds. I might have added collage to the face area, or background area, but not tonight.
I cropped this one, as the hair seemed the weakest part?
Total time, 40 minutes. I could have played with it digitally, and still might another time. Thanks for visiting.
Just because ...
