- Friendly yours, the illustrators and the agents of the creative clinic.

Seven of our illustrators contributed to the 2015 campaign of Jacques Bouchard Foundation (home palliative care) in collaboration with Publicis Montréal. Each artist was assigned with a Quebec figures's portrait. Publicis gave free reins to our artists to illustrate in their own style the wish of each personality about how they would like their last days to be. The clinic was at the fund-raiser evening last Tuesday, September 15 during which the artworks were on sale by auction.

In order of appearance: Kelly Schykulski (Pierre Bruneau), Aaron McConomy (Denys Arcand), Emmanuel Polanco (Pascale Bussières), Adam James Turnbull (Sophie Lorain), Jérôme Mireault (Robert Charlebois), Anne Cresci (Louise Deschâtelets) et Katrinn Pelletier (Alex Bilodeau).

We are happy to welcome Giordano Poloni among the roster of theartists of the creative clinic. Born in 1980 and resident of Milan, he earned a cinema bachelor’s degree in 2006. The same year he starts his illustrator career for clients as The Guardian, Scientific American Magazine, The New Scientist, Random House Australia, Wired UK, TIM Mobile... Inspired by his huge collection of comics, music videos, movies and photography books, he creates digital artworks highly reminiscent of his Italian heritage.

A complex and unique relation which is born between the Man and the Robot, without competition but with intelligence and beauty. That is what Sonia Roy managed to express for the Nexus magazine cover in her creation which honors and makes a reference obviously to the work " The Creation of Adam " of Michel-angel.

On one year having paid tribute in the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Google has wanted to reconnect with its public thanks to a printed ad in the German newspaper Die Zeit. It was illustrated by Andi Meier in clay and accompanied an essay written for the occasion.

The article illustrated by Emmanuel Polanco raises the question of the immigration of today with regard to the immigration of the last century. Is it the same? France will be up to it in front of this new immigration and also face to the expansion of the extreme right and the FN (Front National). All these questions are put in perspective by the publication of Jean Daniel's book (founder and now editorial writer of Le Nouvel Observateur magazine, become L’Obs) “Mirrors of a life”.

This month wallpaper was created by Giordano Poloni, a new artist at the clinic. The illustration is titled "Dearkids shop". Giordano studied in Film and is inspired by his huge collection of comic books, video clips, movies and photography books. He creates digital illustrations that remind us about his Italian origins.
