Luc Alain Illustrator

I'm from Ottawa, but established in Gatineau for many years now. I have a bachelor's degree in Business (UQO) and a graduate certificate in Public Management from ENAP. I have been drawing since my childhood, however I picked up visual art basics for a year at the University of Ottawa. 

My artistic background is in children's illustrations and cartooning. Well published in various magazines and local news papers since 1999, I still get a kick from offering editorial cartoons spiced up with my own gag writing (Low Down to Hull and Back News). 

Many of my creations can also be found in educational material, published by well known scholastic editors, such as the Centre franco-ontarien de ressources pédagogiques (Ottawa) and LIDEC (Montreal). I also illustrated for a Toronto based documentary producer known as Médiatique.

 I perch and observe and ponder before taking flight. Expressing oneself is essential to feeling human. It enables me to scream silently but feels so good. Even if progress is always relative, big to you and small to others, mine is mine to take or share. Art is my heartbeat preparing the next. My collection may seem like a mishmash of ideas, visual feelings going I know not where, but anyway who cares but I. That counts. Only one year of formal education in visual art under my belt, plus many years of experience and onward go I.
