happy new year!

Happy New Year to all of you!
i've been very silent lately. two reasons for this. first of all we're now a family of 5. Baby Zelie was born on december 9, 2008. she's a very easy baby, to the point where we were wondering why she was sleeping so much during the first 20 days! her two brothers are very kind with her, so fascinated by this little squeeking thing.

The second reason is that i will very soon leave Texas and IDsoftware in order to go to Seattle. it's always a bit difficult to take that type of decision, since we had our house here, as well as a permanent sun throughout the year. No matter where destiny leads us, that's the way it goes. I can assure you that planning a move with a new born baby and two kiddoes is not an easy task for sure!

I've been doing a lot of Concepts for RAGE since 2005, and i hope these images will one day pop out of the boxes for your viewing pleasure. i'll probably look back at these in a few months with a lot of Nostalgia.
here's two concept arts showed to the press last year.

    We too are having a little one then moving soon thereafter - very nerve wracking, but we do what we must.

    Congratulations again.

  4. Hah, congrats on the third kid! I'm kinda jealous cause that means less time for crazy art. =)

    Seattle, hmm, give us more info! Now that you've done ID are you going to work with Valve? =D

  21. Hi Nicolas,

    Very nice work! Nice kid pictures too.

    I was familiar with your work but had no idea you were in Texas. I have a similiar career path. I'm from Montreal and came to Austin Texas for work.

    I wish you and your family all the best with your career move!

  23. Any chance that you could post those two images at desktop sized resolutions? Your artwork makes some great wallpapers, but recently your uploads to the blog are pretty small in size.
