Rufus Dayglo

Treasure trove The comic artist shares the awesome collection that inspires his work on a daily basis

I live and work in Saint-Etienne, France. I bought two little old shops right next to each other, one to live in and one to work in! It’s the best commute ever.

The shops are about 200 years old, and l’ve been renovating them myself. My work studio was a little gun engraving workshop in the 1870s, and as rebuilt it, found all sorts of rifle and shotgun parts scattered about the place in cracks and crevices. love that an artisan was also here over 150 years ago, decorating rifles, and now sit drawing sci-fi laser blasters.

| tore all the fake walls and ceilings off my shop and exposed the original stone walls and wooden ceilings, so it became a functional, stripped-down space, and then filled it with way too many collectibles!

SPACE 10 EXPERIMENT

Having my own studio allows me to spend more time working, experimenting with my art, and also have my toy and art collection to inspire me. try to start from 8-9am and finish 8-lOpm most days.
