Signing session in Paris ✨ Demain, samedi 20 septembre, on dédicace Tokyo Mystery Café à la superbe librairie Le Renard Doré de 14h à 17h. On a hâte de vous y retrouver. À demain ☺️

Today, we’re starting our signing tour around France and Belgium to celebrate the release of Tokyo Mystery Café vol.2. We’re looking forward to seeing you. 😊

We're so glad to announce that our new book is out today! 🥳 Tokyo Mystery Café vol.2 is now available in French bookstores.

We absolutely love Japanese #cyberpunk from the 80-90s (for example the films of Shinya Tsukamoto, …) so we really enjoyed drawing this neon-soaked illustration! It was also interesting to use #watercolors to draw this because it is not the technique usually used for this kind of atmosphere.

Awesome comic and it’s available for free! ✨

Guess what? We’re characters in Hideo Kojima’s new game #DeathStranding2! We had to keep this secret and we’re so happy to reveal it today! 
Here is Cecile aka ✨The Dowser✨. 
Thank you so much to Hideo Kojima and his team. If you meet us in the game, please take screenshots!

This game is great! We’ve really enjoyed playing it. The art style is so good and the story very fun.

From Sapiens to Ludens - part 2 The 2nd sketch we made at Kojima Productions’ building after our meeting with Hideo Kojima. We like drawing science fiction using watercolors. It creates an interesting contrast.

Can’t wait for it! It’s going to be amazing 🤩

Each print is handmade at Mokuhankan, a traditional workshop based in Asakusa, Tokyo. The pigments and textures are so warm. The result is just perfect! 🤩

✨Galaxy - Dreams of Future Past✨ This is the 2nd woodblock print from our series in collaboration with Mokuhankan, exploring nostalgic views of a future Japan. For this one, we wanted to blend science fiction with the style of traditional ukiyo-e.

Our original drawing for the Flooded City woodblock print. We used a Pentel brush pen with custom ink to create downstrokes and upstrokes. It takes around 10 days for Taran to carve the illustration so we have to give him interesting lines.

🗼The Flooded City - Dreams of Future Past🗼 This is the 3rd woodblock print from our series in collaboration with Mokuhankan, exploring nostalgic views of a future Japan. This one is about climate change and, of course, about Yamanote line, the most iconic train in Tokyo. 🚃🚃🚃

From Sapiens to Ludens 🎮✨ After our meeting with game director Hideo Kojima in 2023, we spent a moment in the building's entrance to draw KojiPro's mascot which is such a cool looking character! #videogame #japan @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp @kojipro2015.bsky.social

Deux autres souvenirs de festivals, les très bons livres de @ateliersento.bsky.social et de @fabiengrolleau.bsky.social & #ewenblain (oui petite thématique japonaise ce week-end !) #lescturesduweekend

We've uploaded a making of video of our upcoming game, the remake of #TheDollShop. 🦋 It's available on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/129009...

Death Stranding - watercolor on shikishi We drew this fan art illustration as a gift for Hideo Kojima when we visited his office back in 2023. DS was an unforgettable experience so it was a pleasure to travel back to this strange world and draw something inspired by its poetic atmosphere.

Thinking about this day when, exactly two years ago, we met Hideo Kojima, here, in Tokyo. He was kind and welcoming. It's one of our best memories! We painted a Death Stranding fan art for the occasion. This game is so inspiring! @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp #DeathStranding

The weather was splendid when we landed in Tokyo this morning and Fujisan was here to welcome us. What an honour 🙏

Our new comic book is now digitally available in English!🥳 In the shadow of Tokyo’s skyscrapers, you will find the Mystery Café. Push open the door: here, the eccentric owner offers not only his fine cuisine, but also his services as a detective... www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Myster...

We absolutely love Japanese #cyberpunk from the 80-90s (for example the films of Shinya Tsukamoto, …) so we really enjoyed drawing this neon-soaked illustration! It was also interesting to use #watercolors to draw this because it is not the technique usually used for this kind of atmosphere.

We’re new here, nice to meet you! We’re Cecile and Olivier, a duo of French artists who create comic books, video games and illustrations. If you like watercolors and Japan, you might be interested by the kind of things we’re going to share here. See you soon! ✨
