Geek-Art & Caurette: a shared passion
Geek-Art & Caurette: a shared passion
It’s been more than ten years since Geek-Art.net started sharing with its readers the work of artists, graphic designers, illustrators, painters, sculptors, all of whom inspired by imaginary worlds, with one goal in mind: connecting art and pop culture.
When these artists, from all backgrounds, take a hold of our favorite fictional worlds, news artistic perspectives are open to us. Cinema, literature, comic books, manga, video games, TV series: every artist draws, directly or indirectly, from these never-ending sources that are the cultures of the imaginary.
Geek-Art offers to pop culture fans the possiblity to dive into the world of art, and to fans of art the possibility to dive into pop culture. Let’s just say that our paths were meant to cross!
Dive into Geek-Art’s universe on their blog and their socials!
A match made in heaven…
A match made in heaven…
Today is the day Geek-Art and Caurette get together once again to delight all the art fans out there!
After many months spent working on that project, we are beyond proud to finally launch our Time Limited Art Prints (TALP for short)! Here’s how it works: instead of printing a fixed number of posters and then sell them in only a few minutes, we’ll put an art print on sale for a few days and then print however many were sold during said timeframe. That way, no need to stress out if you are usually compromised by a slow Internet connection or if you are not available in the minutes following the launch of the print, eveyone can get their hand on one! Ordering during the few days the sale is happening guaranties that you will get your very own art print!
The artists we’ll be working with are thoroughly picked by Geek-Art and we trust them entirely. These time-limited art prints will be numbered depending on how many you guys will order. We’ll then be in charge of mailing your posters and we’ll send them, as we usually do, with all the care they deserve.

The comics Hoka Hey!
Hoka Hey! is a comic strip written and illustrated by Neyef. It tells the story of Georges, a young Lakota raised by the pastor who administers his reserve. Acculturated, the young boy gradually forgets his roots and dreams of a future inspired by the booming American model. He crosses paths with Little Knife, a cold and violent Amerindian on the hunt for his mother’s killer. Accompanied by his two companions, Little Knife tears Georges away from his life and takes him on his journey…

Anato Finnstark – The Witch King
From February 4th to February 7th 2022
From February 4th to February 7th 2022
Pour cette troisième illustration issue de notre série en collaboration avec Geek-Art, nous vous avons porposé une supeeeerbe illustration par Anato Finnstark, tout droit sortie de l’univers du Seigneur des Anneaux et mettant en scène le ténébreux Seigneur des Nazgûl, le bras droit de Sauron lui-même pendant les second et troisième âges.
Le Roi Sorcier D’Angmar
Le maléfique Roi Sorcier d’Angmar, montant son funeste destrier, une créature dragonesque, prépare une descente sur les Champs de Pelennor, ces mêmes champs qui (spoiler alert) verront sa perte. On devine devant lui la cité de Minas Tirith, dans toute sa puissance, ainsi que la blanche Tour d’Ecthelion, où siègent les Rois du Gondor, se distingant du paysage montagnieux. Nous faisons face à un moment figé dans le temps, le calme avant la tempête…
L’identité originelle de cette créature sinistre est inconnue. Autrefois roi mortel, il fut corrompu par l’un des neuf Anneaux de Pouvoir, qui fit de lui un spectre immortel au service de Sauron. Après la défaite de son maître aux mains de la Dernière Alliance, il fonda le vil royaume d’Angmar, où il régna pendant durant sept siècles en tant que “Roi Sorcier”, jusqu’à la conquête du royaume d’Arnor.
Afin de faciliter le retour au pouvoir de Sauron, le Roi Sorcier revint en Mordor, puis prit la cité de Minas Ithil et la refortifia, celle-ci devenant la redoutable et redoutée Minas Morgul. C’est depuis cette forteresse qu’il évinça la lignée des Rois du Gondor. Il mena ensuite l’armée de Sauron dans la Guerre de l’Anneau, poignarda Frodon Sacquet au sommet du Mont Venteux pendant les premiers mois de la quête qui mènera ce dernier hors de la Comté et jusqu’à Rivendell. Ce fut également le Roi Sorcier d’Angmar qui, lors de la Bataille des Champs de Pelennor, brisa les portes de Minas Tirith et tua le Roi Théoden du Rohan.
Lieutenant en chef et plus puissant de tous les serviteurs du Seigneur des Ténèbres de toute l’histoire de la Terre du Milieu, il fut un redoutable chef militaire ainsi qu’un indéfectible sorcier, redouté de tous. C’est cependant durant son heure de gloire aux Pelennor qu’il fut tué par Meriadoc Brandebouc et Éowyn, nièce de Théoden, au dénouement de la Guerre de l’Anneau.

À propos d’Anato Finnstark
Pour ceux d’entre vous qui ne connaissent pas encore Anato et son travail, permettez-nous de vous présenter cet artiste français s’adonnant à l’illustration et au concept art depuis plusieurs années. Il travaille notamment avec plusieurs licences comme Magic: The gathering ou encore Dungeons and Dragons.
Anato parvient, avec son style sombre et unique, une palette de couleurs limitée et des jeux d’ombres, à créer de toutes pièces des atmosphères magnifiques bien que lourdes. Cela ne fait aucun doute qu’il s’est approprié l’essence des œuvres desquelles il tire son inspiration, et qu’il l’applique parfaitement à ses illustrations digitales.

from the 12th to the 15th of November 2021
This second Time Limited Art Print featured this wonderful illustration by Stan Manoukian, A Sparkle in the Night, and we couldn’t be prouder! For those of you who don’t know Stan (yet), he published many books with Glénat, Ankama and Delcourt. He is best-known for his work with Vince, such as Vortex and Les Chronokids, which got them the Fauve jeunesse at the Festival International de la BD d’Angoulême in 2011!
A Sparkle in the Night is a magical work of art, where poetry and (friendly) monsters coexist in a gorgeous play of light! It was printed on beautiful fine art paper in a 19.69 x 27.56 inch (50 x 70 cm) format, so let’s just say that expectations were high!

from the 16th to the 19th of July 2021
We did start things off on the right foot with this stunning art print by Mathieu Bablet (Adrastée, Shangri-La, Carbone et Silicium) called The Bath House (or in French: Le Palais des Bains), inspired by the wonderful world of Spirited Away from the Studios Ghibli.
This poster came in an “oversized” format of 61 x 91 cm / 24 x 36 inches and was printed on a beautiful art paper! These dimensions allow it to be framed very easily by going to a famous scandinavian furniture store (for example).
