She said it was too difficult for her to make a story but Soleil editor announced just after that it should publish some new comics from her. It was a long time ago and no comics... I like very much her drawings and her narration and when she draw "les lumières de l'amalou" I thought she was the best new artist to give some fresh air to the european classic comics drawings. But she had the opportunity to work for animation (less pression, more money and probably private reason) and we only see from time to time some nice drawings. But no comics and it's too sad. (for the real fans, there is a calendar from Delcourt where artists pose naked for a photo and she was one of them. I am not with them because my wife said "I don't want you to make such silly things !" :-)) (sorry for my bad english) Well, I had the opportunity to speak with Claire (ah ah, I say “Claire” like she is an old friend but she is not :-)) some years ago when she was easy to meet and I remember asking her to make her own comics because I have an odd theory about “complete comics artists/vs scenarist&illustrator teams”.

For the benefit of other readers, I'll point out that Tanja is being modest, as she is an accomplished concept artist and illustrator with a very pleasing style. You can see preliminary images and works in progress on her appropriately titled, "<a href="http://tygriffin.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Work in Progress"</a> blog. Unfortunately, her <a href="http://www.tanjawooten.com/" rel="nofollow">web site</a> is still under re-construction (and has been for a while now). Hopefully, she'll keep us posted when it's up again. Thanks for the comments, Tanja.

My thanks to the Dallas sketchgroup for that first introduction with her book, Drawers 1.0; I've since picked up some of her other books myself. Excellent work! :) One of my favorite artists — wish I had half her talent and experience!
