I first noticed Paris-based Stephane Tartelin’s ‘Lyrics and Type’ (below) work in an online print shop, and really liked his loose style. Stephane uses graphite pencils in combination with Illustrator and Photoshop to create some exciting work, with a unique, strong style.

    Such beautifully unique work. the lines are like spider silk. Amazing. I’m dying to know where some of your influence comes from.

    Thanks very much for the nice comments everyone :)

    Kelpie : My main inspiration are from Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Hayao Miyazaki… A mix of european (1900 – 1930) and Japanese artists mostly :)

    Yes, I definitely see Klimt influences!
