I made this illustration on April 15th of this year, the terrible night Notre-Dame de Paris was on fire. I stood up drawing until the fire was finally extinguished and I finished the illustration.

I worked on it as a tribute to my spiritual master and ultimate art hero, the 19th century architect Monsieur Viollet-le-Duc, the man who worked during two decades restoring the greatest gothic cathedral ever built.

This illustration will also be the cover art for a documentary I've been working on for the last years: "Viollet, Journal des Travaux"

I also wrote this inspired by one of his many creations and imaginary monsters, the melancholy demon Le Stryge.
