About Me

I’m a professional free-lance illustrator and painter since 1997, and I dedicate my skills to create cover artworks for metal Cds mostly, but some logos and book cover artworks are undertaken as well. I’ve created more than 80 cd cover artworks since 11 years, and my very first ordered job, the cover for New Zealand’s band DEMONIAC « Stormblade » back in 1996. As years passing by, I’ve had the opportunity to work for numerous heavy, power,black, folk doom or death metal acts, such as, and for instance (in no particular order), AVANTASIA, EDGUY, IMMORTAL, MYSTIC CIRCLE , TRISTITIA, DRAGONFORCE, PHARAOH, INTENSE, POWERQUEST, ANGELCORPSE, LONEWOLF, GAIA EPICUS, RAIN, NOSTRADAMEUS, STEEL ATTACK, RED WINE, ANTHEMON, FRETERNIA, BLOODTHORN, DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE, IMPIETY,IMPALED NAZARENE, GARDENIAN, MOURNING ENDS, DEMONIAC, BEWITCHED, YEARNING, BENIGHTED, MANIGANCE, REST IN PEACE, LEGEN BELTZA, STORMLORD, HEMORAGY, THE VILLAIN, VHALDEMAR, TOXXIC TOYZ, KOB, GARWALL, MEMORIZED DREAMS, TWILIGHTNING, SEVEN WITCHES, BEWITCHED, HIDDEN, BLACK RAIN, CELLADOR, HEAVENLY, FORGOTTEN REALM,KERION, OLYMPOS MONS, MAGICA, SUPERCHRIST, SOULSPELL, some Compilations such as METAL MESSAGE, WORLD DOMINATION and FRENCH STEEL, as well as for some rip-offs or loosy acts which don’t deserve their names to be quoted in here. I’m also responsible for some band logos such as the ones for CELLADOR, CRYONIC TEMPLE, DRAGONFORCE, ELVENKING, FORGOTTEN REALM, INTENSE, KRAGENS, MAGICA, MEMORIZED DREAMS among some others. My artworks are created using traditional painting methods, acrylics or fast-drying oils mostly, there’s a small computer treatment once the artwork is scanned, but it doesn’t overtake more than 20 % of the complete picture and is meant for perfect rendering only. Every business or friendly inquiries arewelcome, please take the time to visit my website for a more complete overview of my work at www.jp-fournier.com Every projects dealing with metal styles and its likes such as Traditional Heavy, power, death, black, folk, gothic, dark folk, cold wave, Neo-folk, industrial, hardcore, viking , Doom, Stoner, AOR, Melodic Rock are welcome.
