About LaFlamme



LaFlamme started to show his drawings online in the middle of 1998. Until then it was just a hobby and a perfect way to show his talent to friends and family. Over the years, the site have grown up and became a personal portfolio. Then, Felix slowly started to do commissioned artwork until the day that it became as much important as his full-time job. In late 2005, he had to make a serious descision and he officially left his job to make a living from his true passion: creating WEIRDART.

Felix LaFlamme have also contributing to magazines such as Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles and Lollipop magazines.

In a few words: All his universe is directly influenced by Comic Books, Kustom Kulture, Punk Rock, Horror Movies, Skateboarding, Circus Sideshows, Tiki Bar, Toys and Tattoos.
