Artist of the Month - @jeune_woof
"Creating something from A to Z and seeing it printed on a medium is what I love the most."
Confident pencil strokes, vivid colors, and clean renderings. These are some characteristics of Sébastien Pastor's aka. Jeune Woof's graphic style. Passionate about the history of graphic arts and typography, he believes "it helps understand the DNA and true meaning of things. It’s a great way to discover many reference artists who have shaped the world of graphic design."
Welcome to the creative world of @jeune_woof
Sébastien Pastor, better known as Jeune Woof to his followers, is an illustrator and designer based in Montpellier, France – the city he calls home. Since graduating in Design & Digital Strategy from ESMA in 2017, he has developed a distinctive visual language where vector precision meets hand-drawn charm.
"When I discovered graphic design, something clicked immediately; it was clearly something I had in me, and that I was keen on developing, but didn't know much about.'"
With a style blending naive art and comic book aesthetics, he reimagines iconic album covers – from Stevie Wonder and Snoop Dogg to Breakbot and Iron Maiden – in vibrant, hyper-colored remixes that bring a playful nostalgia to life. Beyond music, Jeune Woof creates illustrations for whimsical short stories, often tinged with naivety, sometimes absurdity, but always with a sense of joy and imagination.
