Summer 1994

1994, I'm 10, a year away from playing wipeout on playstation 1. I live in the south of France, not the fancy part, but it's sunny and warm. The radio plays Regulate by Warren G, Spring is coming to and end, Summer is slowly making its way, the familiar smell of hot concrete, plastic leather seats in cars burning your legs when mom and dad pick you up, the stains of cola flavour Mr.Freeze on my favourite batman tee shirt ( Black with the batman logo in yellow, the kind of tee shirt batman himself would wear ).

I would go on to be endlessly inspired by all this, mixed with watching a lot of 1920s cartoons my dad had in VHS.

Nature, food, music... girls.

“Super soaker, pool sides, hot dogs.”

Every year, the big summer holidays would be 2 months of going to waterparks, beaches, forests, small islands just next to the coast, bbqs, ice creams, loads of cherries and melons.

I created these four pieces, mixing both illustration, frame by frame 2D animation and music to encapsulate this mood that I felt when I was young and that made me who I am today.

The song I wrote is divided between those four artworks, acting as the common thread between them
