A visit chez Christian Astuguevieille

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Yesterday I went to visit Christian Astuguevieille at his studio. I wanted to introduce him to my friend Michael James O’Brien. In fact they are planning a rather amazing collaboration but you will have to wait a while for that.

Among other things, Christian likes to create imaginary civilizations and then inhabit them with strange creatures.

This particular creature is near extinction so he has been put in a glass jar in order to preserve his race.
