Today, we’re going to explore the talented and prolific digital artist, Julien Tabet. He’s a remarkable young man, and not just in his digital skills. I love his outlook, too. I’ll let him tell you:

“My name is Julien Tabet, and I am a young Frenchman who pretends to make art with a computer. I’m not passionate about Photoshop as I don’t believe that software can be a passion. Nevertheless, imagining the improbable fascinates me. I love to surprise people. I feel that I can offer something fresh to their lives and break them out of their boring routine, by offering a perspective.

“My works deal mainly with animals for a lot of reasons. Animals are different from humans because they are so much more humble and innocent. But what I like the most is that they can be mysterious due to their anonymity. I love to dream up the way animals act when we aren’t watching them.”

– Julien Tabet

21 years old, and already such an accomplished artist! Tabet is clearly an old soul (with some young, awesome skills). If you haven’t attempted digital photo manipulation yourself, watch the speed edit video below. It will blow your mind.

You can follow the talented and prolific Julien Tabet pretty much everywhere: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Etsy.

Stormy 🐑⚡ This is by far one of my favorite creations. Especially because I had a lot of fun making it, but also because it represents very well the state of mind I want to give to my work, and the emotion I want to send to its viewer 💫 . Thank you for all your support, I'm now getting back to work to do even better in 2020! Happy New Year to everyone 🎆 . Created by me ( @julien.tabet ) using @photoshop

Royal Camping ⛺🦁 (SWIPE to see more) After 30 hours of work, more than 350 layers on photoshop, I have the pleasure to finally show you this realization, which is a little different from the others in its concept, but also because it has been drawn at 90% 😏 . For the curious, you will find at the end of this post the whole process of creation. I had a lot of fun imagining and creating this visual. It feels great to change a bit my creative processes and to gradually get out of the style I've been showing you to for 2 years 😬 I hope you're enjoying it, can't wait to have your feedback 🖤 .

I spent an incredible week with @adobecreativecloud at #creativecamp ☀️. We stayed several days near the Russian River in California, the place was sublime 🌻, and I was apparently the only one to notice that a particular hippopotamus lived in the river 🦛🌊😯… — Surrounded by many creative people, I was able to learn more about @photoshop . With the Adobe team I have discovered a lot of incredible future innovations (even some that I can't tell you about yet !) 😏 — I thank them for this incredible adventure ♥️ ! #adobepartner
