Pacmoon by georgeslemercenaire

Georgeslemercenaire gives us a funny and nice interview for the release of Pacmoon, a funny t-shirt.

Hi georges, are you ready for a second round interview?

Yep even ready for a third one if you’d like :-)

Nath lf crew: Could you say a bit about Pacmoon? Is it some kind of honor to Pacman?

Nope it is a drawing about the PAC (French for Common Agricultural Policy) and I’m very much into space-agriculture politics. It’s funny that people think this trend refers to video games all the time :-)

Clémentine : Were you traumatized by Pad man as a kid ? Why do you love it so much? Have you played Pac Man on the Atari 2600 as a kid? I’ve played it for hours …

Of course I played it as a kid but not that much. I was much more traumatized by William Leymergie (William Leymergie is a French TV presenter who sang the Pacman cartoon medley in the early 80’s) than by the game itself which was already old school when I started playing it. I haven’t played video games for 7 or 8 years and I have re-discovered the Arcade Emulation. Great symbols like Mario or Space Invaders, everybody knows them even without having played them. I think they are icons of our generation and an interesting and everlasting theme.

Nath lf crew : A propos Atari, do you like video games and which was your first one

I can’t really remember the first game, but it was probably Dungeon Master on the Atari 520Ste. It was great but I don’t have the time anymore. I play every so often and I need to finish Zelda on DS and Fable 3, then Masseffect 2 and AC Brotherhood and deadsp ….

Nath lf crew : Do you like to go on the moon or another planet ?

It would be cool indeed! I would go there and make a big illustration in the lunar dust and since there is no wind, it would stay for millions of years or until some stupid idiot walks over it … But we can even take this a step further: hyperspace is just around the corner. I would go to an unknown galaxy, or maybe a pulsar, they are cute: J And then I would jump into a black hole to see what’s on the other side.

Sophie D : How many times do you need to create one of your wonderful masterpiece?

Thanks for the compliment :-)  It depends. It can take me 2 hours to draw with a pencil but it could also take 6 to 8 hours depending on the number of elements and details for the colouring and the texture under Photoshop. I go slowly and most of the time, I do it wrong, so I start all over again from the beginning. So let’s say 8 hours.

Nath lf crew : Have you been spoiled by Santa Claus this year?

I’ve been asking this f…head for a hover board for 20 years and I haven’t see it yet! Anyway, I’ve been a nice boy this year and I haven’t been rewarded, that’s unfair!

Nath lf crew : What are your expectations for 2011?

I want to finish lots of comic projects which I’ve been working on for a long time and it would be cool to finish them. And some prints here and there, that would be cool as well :-)

Nath lf crew : What is the latest movie you’ve watched ?
“Rubber“ until I laugh to tears but I almost fell asleep …

Nath lf crew : Your favorite 2010 album?
Beat torrent but I admit that I haven’t listened to anything new.

Nath lf crew : If you could change something, right now, what would you change ?
My nose, it is like a potato.
