Mike Frodsham

Here's Serge in blue from illustration student, Mike Frodsham. Mike is currently studying illustration at Glyndwr University in Wrexham and has a blog here where you can see more of his work.

Mitch Blunt

What a week! Another excellent Serge - this time from Mitch Blunt. Mitch is an illustrator based in Hastings and only graduated last year from Kingston University. Have a look at his blog and website for some great illustrations and caricatures. I can't decide which one is my favourite - it's a tough call between Snake Plissken, Terry Richardson and Poison Ivy of the Cramps. Enjoy!

Mark Stafford

Here's an excellent Serge from cartoonist and illustrator, Mark Stafford. If you're not familiar with Mark's work then a) why not? and b) go immediately to his website where you'll see a cornucopia of Staffordy goodness. Mark also has prints available here.

Phil Corbett

This particularly Kawaii Serge is the work of Phil Corbett - a London-based illustrator, character designer, author and designer of Antipodean underwear. To see more great examples of Phil's work visit his website, his blog and his other blog.

Lionel Richerand

Lionel is an illustrator and comic artist based in Paris and describes his portrayal of Serge as "night owl, half wolf, complete author". You can see more great examples of Lionel's work on his blog where there's also a link to a bibliography of his BD work.

Nathalie Roland

Nathalie Roland is a San Francisco-based radio DJ, printmaker and cookie baker. She's been printmaking since 1992 and has had her work exhibited in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo. She decided to do this sketch of Serge during a 20 minute break in a library in Los Angeles and I'm glad she did. Here's her website, blog and Flickr.

Sergio Barbo

Another excellent Brazilian entry, this time from Sao Paulo-based illustrator, designer and journalist, Sergio Barbo. Sergio has been a fan of Gainsbourg's music since a child and has also had the pleasure of interviewing Jane Birkin. He goes on to explain why Draw Serge has become so popular in Brazil - "This year is The Year of France in Brasil, so we had a big expo about Serge and a tribute show with Jane (her third time in Brasil doing concerts), Jean-Claude Vannier (the arranger of Melody Nelson) and Caetano Veloso. Yes, Brasil loves Serge Gainsbourg - and Jane Birkin knows it." You can see more of Sergio's work on his Flickr stream.

Henry Bonsu

Henry is a cartoonist based in the US. His fantastic blog, Where Is Hank?, is full of great artwork including his regular strip, The Gigantics, and a series called "Evil Bearded Superheroes". How could you not love that?!

Michelle Turton

Michelle is an illustrator based in the "sunny Midlands" and also one of the co-founders of the excellent Inkygoodness events company. Her chosen weapon of choice is the pencil - I'm with you there, Michelle! To see more examples of Michelle's work visit her website.

Quinky

Quinky, in his own words, is an "Illustrator, animator, stuntman, children's entertainer, astronaut and compulsive liar". He's supplied us with a lovely Serge pic and an accompanying brushstroke animation to go with it. Visit his blog to see what else he gets up to including some remarkable board game customisation!

2010 - Année Gainsbourg!

Thanks everyone for making "Draw Serge" such a successful blog. 2010 is set to be quite a year for Serge fans - January 20th sees the release of Johann Sfar's Serge biopic, "Gainsbourg - Vie Heroique". Understandably, I'm quite excited about this. In the meantime you can assuage your desire for Serge movie news over at the excellent "Gainsbourg: Le Film, Le Blog". I've drawn another Serge to mark the occasion.

Merci, mon ami!
