\3As You have become one of the most popular graphicians in the today, not very uprising scene. Who are you, and where have you been in the long period before you first became a visible man in the scene? Where did you hide your talents (groups?) and when did you first draw graphics on the art-machine Amiga?
\2- My parents called me Carlos a wonderful day of January 1977, and I'm actually studying at a literature and fine arts high school in Paris... nothing exciting... So, at first I began to make graphics on the good old engine called Amstrad CPC6128(!) On this computer I have, since 1988, under my actual nickname MADE, been directing a diskmag and a demogroup. In 1991 I bought an A500 and enjoyed the colourful Deluxe Paint. I immediately joined the HMD drunk guys staff and made some compos for their famous TCP packs and demos... (Any connection to the TCP/IP protocol? /ToJ) One or two years later I joined MOVEMENT just one week (It's true!), and left them to join the legendary SCOOPEX clan. During this time I sold my old A500 to buy an A1200 before I joined the bombastic staff of BOMB.
\3Where do you get your inspiration when you draw?
\2- Sometime inspiration come after some doodles in the corner of an exercise book during a boring class... or seeing TV, advertizing, dreaming... I spend a big part of my painting time thinking of my next picture or searching a cool idea of design.
\3As you copy most of your pictures, which non-scene related artists do you find most sovereign and the best? Why?
\2- It's a very difficult question, because a lot of non-scene artists gives me inspiration regarding painting technics and thinking and take a relative important influence in my pictures and drawing style. Of course I've some preferences for painters like F. BACON and others contemporary artist like RUIZ, MOEBIUS, PRATT, FRAZETTA... I think that there can't be "ONE" best artist as many as there are so many different technics, styles and personalities...
\3Don't you think it is very wrong to redraw others pictures?
\2- I wouldn't redraw pictures if I thought it wrong. I understand most people who say that copying and redrawing are bad attitudes but I think that as long as pictures composed from other pictures or fragments of others' pictures are not used in commercial wants or for business deals it is not unjust towards the real author(s).
\3How long time does it take to draw a picture and a logo?
\2- It's very relative. For a full screen picture it can take two weeks up to three months (or more...) for complex and colourful pictures. For logos it never takes me more than two or three days!
\3Having made the game Fears, Bomb Software is one of the most commercial groups. Did you join Bomb to gain some money? (For the inattentive: commercialism has also reached Bomb Software, the mebers of which make games.)
\2- NO! I've joined BOMB after a call from GENGIS who asked me to join their team to make graphics for their forthcoming productions. He called me just after seeing my pictures in ArtCORE and other little productions. Some weeks after joining BOMB he proposed me to make the last graphics of FEARS. I would never have made graphics for this game for the gain, due to the doze of money that I've earned...
