Jules is a french illustrator who’s work focuses around masculinity, violence and adolescence; He has said he likes to raise questions around the relationship young males have with each other, their parents and their surroundings. He was influenced by 90’s game culture, anime and comic books from a young age, these influences can be seen directly in the style and subject of his illustrations. He uses the objects in the scenes to create comic book style frames around the characters, which creates a sense of movement and narrative. His use of bright pastel colours keeps the feeling of youthful innocence intact and I think he captures the essence of suburban boredom perfectly. The characters seem to be caught in a moment of disassociated disscontempt while the days idly pass them by. His work also touches on a sense of distant doom surrounding teen-hood years, an awareness of the destruction and chaos that exists in far-away places beyond the tv screen. I also like his use of shading on minimal cubist objects, simplifying the surroundings into forms of flat space and colour.
