While there's not much information on his blog beyond this, posted on December 31 last year...
The image of this Card is extracted from my upcoing book, to be published in spring in France by Albin Michel, Ondine (I'll talk about soon) ..... his Faceboook has a small collection of stunning artwork from the book, with the most recent painting posted just this Thursday. I've included the various notes per image he wrote regarding titles, inspirations and a nice teaser for the last image posted here.

Frankly, I don't really care what languages the book is available in as long as I can get one. Gorgeous.
I really need to move to France, if for the only reason to buy his books right when they come out. His amazing pop-up book is selling for over $80 on Amazon (US), a bit rich for my blood. We Americans are so deprived. :(
ReplyDeleteYou can buy on ebay.fr, I think not to expensive
DeleteLacombe's paintings are beautiful and haunting, I hadn't heard of him before. I'll have to keep up with his book in case it comes available. I can read french, but don't ask me to pronounce it.
ReplyDeleteI saw this book when I was in Italy. Although I can't read French or Italian I fell in love with the art work. It was just breath taking. I wish now that I had purchased the book.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at his other books..... all of them are amazing.....
