Hello, my name is Renaud FORESTIÉ, illustrator, webdesigner, photographer, art director, comic books writer, and freelance artist. Go to Reuno.net, my blog/gallery/archive website.
If you want to see more drawings, comic books and other cute stuff, you'd better go to reuno.net, which is my actual website/blog/thing (you're currently browsing my web card thing). There you'll find a more furnished gallery, but also projects, comic books, and almost daily updates.

And if you're wondering how all this magic happens, most of this stuff is drawn using Photoshop and my hands.
I was born on the 23rd of September, 1983, near Toulouse, in France. Seventeen years later, I passed my Baccalauréat, then studied Programming in Blagnac's IUT (France) and successfully got my DUT. After that, I spent a year in Wrexham, Wales, where I graduated and was rewarded with a Multimedia Computing BSC.



I then went back to France, found a first job as a webdesigner in a small town near Toulouse, and stayed there for 2 years, practicing my skills in Photoshop, XHTML, CSS, PHP, Flash, JQuery, and everything that makes the web such a wonderful place. In May 2007, I quit and was recruited by Acapela Group, where I still happily work. There, I'm in charge of everything "web" and visual, and especially acapela.tv, the best website in the world.

Since 2007, I'm also a freelance artist, open to any well paid and interesting illustration job (or web project, but it will have to be REALLY well paid).

As a webdeveloper, I know how to create a website from scratch that will be visually compelling, ergonomic, professional,



During the last years, in my spare time, I've created tons of illustrations for clients, friends and bands. I've drawn CD Covers, flyers, posters, books, tshirts. Two of my books (a children's book and a comic book) have been published, I've toured with my awesome band, I've taken part to tens of art exhibitions, from Germany to Japan, you can find my illustrations in artbooks such as the excellent Café Salé Artbooks. My life's awesome.

Oh and before I forget, the thing to the right is a face generator. Feel free to play with it.

This is a Flash Thing. You obviously need Flash Player to view it.

Among other things, I love photography (here's my Flickr), drawing things for my friends, hiking (with a camera in my backpack) in deserts or mountains, being on stage with my band, collecting t-shirts, snowboarding and typography (not necessarily at the same time).

I'm almost always listening to music, and if you steal my iPhone (which I strongly beg you NOT to do), you'll get a load of the likes of Tom Waits, Why?, Herman Düne, Will Oldham, Johnny Cash, A Silver Mt. Zion, Tindersticks, Le Loup, Two Gallants, 16 Horsepower, Buck 65, Arcade Fire, Gorillaz, Pavement, M. Ward, Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird, Belle and Sebastian, Magnolia Electric Co., Hank Williams, Uniform Motion Pictures, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Angil, Beirut, Woody Guthrie, Adam Green, Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, Sufjan Stevens... here's my Last.fm page.

I also watch a lot of movies (Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Spun, Four Rooms, Groundhog Day, A Bout de Souffle, Reservoir Dogs, The Neverending Story, Easy Rider, Coffee & Cigarettes, and many more).

And I'm kind of a TV series addict : Oz, Twin Peaks, Lost, Deadwood, Carnivale, Dead Set, Flight of the Conchords, John from Cincinnati, Profit, Scrubs, Pushing Daisies, Six Feet Under, The Office, The Prisoner, True Blood, Doctor Who, Californication, X Files, Weeds, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, etc...
