Why did you make this work:
The article talks about how shamanic trance is being studied for possible applications in the medical field.Psychedelia got me!I chose psychedelic colours and references.In the 1st illustration, the sounds of the shamanic drum turn into a dance of coloured lines to form a mask.In the 2nd, the patient on the couch becomes a flow of energy and in the 3rd the essence of psychedelia:toads & mushrooms.

How was the illustration used:
A series of illustrations for Les Echos Week-end

How did you make this work:
I researched and was inspired by images from the world of Tibetan shamanism and 1970s psychedelia. Then I put on Frank Zappa and started to work.
