The Mind-Warping Artwork of French Designer Christophe Huet

christophehuet.com — I’ve been clicking around Christophe Huet ’s mesmerizing and inspirational webpages full of Photoshop creations and ads, including a great “Making of” section that goes through the many layers and process of each creation. Check out his webpage, turn up the sound for the soothing piano music and click through his “making of” section!

  • EllieElliott, on 12/22/2007, -0/+50I couldn't stop looking at it.
    • FadieZ, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2I never thought bestiality could be an art form.
  • MrBabyMan, on 12/22/2007, -1/+29Really phenomenal stuff.
  • GhostWithToast, on 12/22/2007, -0/+20It's nice to see a commercial artist creating such interesting things.
  • fusuke31, on 12/22/2007, -0/+10Now that's quality photoshop work. I only wish he had more 'Making of' segments.
  • GangsterCompute, on 12/22/2007, -5/+12The music was the best part.
    Thumbs up for not having a pause button
  • thescimitar, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Jeez, this is first class work. I'd love to see some prints or this stuff in situ.
  • iStunT, on 12/22/2007, -6/+27Why the ***** were people have sex with scorpions and spiders?
    • zdislaw, on 12/22/2007, -1/+15'cause scorpions are totally hot.
    • thescimitar, on 12/22/2007, -1/+29This was part of a really exceptional STD/AIDS awareness campaign, to encourage people to have safe sex. The ad copy explained it, to some degree.
    • tidu, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3well, the company or description of the photo was "Aides", and for the superman as well. I'm guessing it has to do with AIDs
    • chrisOrbit, on 12/22/2007, -6/+3It was for a Mexican safe sex campaign.
    • Daiken, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1I'm assuming the text that went along with those ads was saying something like having unprotected sex, is like having sex with a spider or a scorpion (because you might get AIDS).
    • FadieZ, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Don't forget dogs and dismembered limbs.
      • Tossrock, on 12/22/2007, -0/+0If you read the text to those, you would see they are for different things. The dog one is anti-smoking.
  • Millsee, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5Thanks so much for this... we often see 'art' on here - but this is truly fantastic.
    • asdfrewq, on 12/22/2007, -8/+2As good as this work is, you could hardly call it art. Just more marketing *****, the sole purpose of which is to sell you ***** you probably don't need.
      • chrisbarr, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3your right, now that I go back and look at it, I have no idea why I enjoyed it the first time.
  • superyounan1, on 12/22/2007, -1/+6i feel bad for my Kosher and Halal friends
    • superyounan1, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4oh woops, i thought i was commenting on the Bacon flowchart article... yet someone still dugg me up? lol
  • sdellboy, on 12/22/2007, -2/+23Wooooooaaahhhh....the Aides spider one is just plain WRONG. Talk about combine something I love with something I hate. That'll give me nightmares for weeks!
  • umber2007, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3This guy has an incredible imagination! Wow!
    • fowleryo, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2just for clarification, he's a commercial retoucher/designer... so he's working with art directors and copywriters that probably come up with the ideas and direct him on what to do with them
      • umber2007, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5The people this guy works for have incredible imaginations! Wow!
  • bxblox, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2Very nice works, thx
  • ThatGeek, on 12/22/2007, -6/+1http://xkcd.com/331/
  • dwright99, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Incredible imagination, just glad it's him not me.
  • lendaddy, on 12/22/2007, -6/+0WE
  • jackmaht, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4I loved the "making of" feature. I thought it was a cool idea to add to the site.
  • gbro, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3Anyone know what the song is?
    • warrenterr, on 12/22/2007, -1/+0I want to know the song title too.
    • Sailboats, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2It's Christophe Huet, the same guy who did the artwork.
      • warrenterr, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1that's right, i just saw the popup. That's insane talent, seriously.
    • peterjmag, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3If you hover over the speaker icon (the one that mutes the music if you click on it), it says it's by the artist himself. Pretty cool if that's the case.
  • jcc6655, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3this work is truly mind warping. I really like the synesthesia it creates
    • Naught, on 12/22/2007, -0/+0I think you mean synergy, assuming you're referring to the combination of sound and images. Synesthesia is where your brain messes up senses.
  • parsellhouse, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1That might truly be....... Oh wait! YES, that is incredible!
  • Bamont, on 12/22/2007, -1/+9As a professional designer - I'm genuinely jealous of this man's talent.
    • OssianHanning, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1It does say, if you click on the lowermost menu item, that "the images on [the] site are not the work of a single person but of a team", so you don't have to kill yourself over it :)
  • Sornos, on 12/22/2007, -1/+6Wait a tic. So it's this guy who is responsible for those creepy Playstation ads.
  • iamh2, on 12/22/2007, -4/+5thats one lucky spider.
  • valdet, on 12/22/2007, -0/+8The pictures and the ideas behind them are breathtaking, but what's even better they come with a super background music, that most of us miss during busy job hours. I couldn't resist to leave this page ON for the whole day only so that song can be played again and again and again and.. Great Job
    • Unclickable, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1who knows what's playing?
      • valdet, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1I think that the music is also from the author, Christopher Huet, cause that's what it says when you hover your mouse over the sound icon while in slideshow mode. I would also like to have that music.
  • iamh2, on 12/22/2007, -6/+0what the ***** up with the blue lips nissan ad
  • Lorddias, on 12/22/2007, -0/+29Morpheus - "Do you want the blue pill, or, these red gummy bears?"
    • jsaya, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Check out the making of - starts off as some random white guy... odd...
  • JohnDavis730, on 12/22/2007, -3/+10was anyone else listening to music in the background and immediately turn it off because the music in the slideshow was better?
    • Hoogs, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1I hadn't been listening to music beforehand, but now I'm just keeping the window open because the song is just so great.
    • Greg535, on 01/04/2008, -0/+0I can't stop listening to this soundtrack, it is mesmerizing! Does anyone know songs that are similar to this?
      • Nonchalant, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1Check out Tim Story - particularly his "The Perfect Flaw" cd. Very similar in mood & instrumentation.

  • myt29, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4What happens when you try to rob a plant?
  • gader, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Genius!
  • Roblodocus, on 12/22/2007, -3/+1Each and every one of these images were rasterbatorable. I've been looking for am imagine I'd like to rasterbate for a while now, now It's just difficult deciding which one of them I'm going to pick.
  • kingernoy, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1being in advertising, i recognize a lot of his work from award shows and the like.

    he's incredible.
  • senatorpjt, on 12/22/2007, -5/+5Photoshopped.
  • DeFex, on 12/22/2007, -3/+1i thought it was cool until the products and movies started showing up.
  • Chris323i, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3Wow, absolutely stunning work. A true creative modern genius. More props for actually creating his own music for the site. I have truly been inspired.
  • JohnKFisher, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1Mr. Belvedere?
  • Spoomeister, on 12/22/2007, -4/+1Dugg down b/c I'm a freakin arachnophobe.
  • crushfan, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5Making Morpheus out of a white guy? Wh.. How?
  • chriswilson08, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Damn good stuff
  • fudged71, on 12/22/2007, -2/+5With the sound on, that was the most beautiful slideshow that I have ever seen in my life. I was almost drawn to tears by the music, but also filled with excitement with every image that popped up.

    Do not be fooled by the title of this post, these images were done by many people. Click on the "thank you" link on the right, and there is a description.

    Thank you for posting this !
  • poptones, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1These are amazing. Is it possible to get them in high resolution somewhere? Google only gave me french blogs and none of these in the picture section :(
    • valdet, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1The best that you can go with, is to have screenshots of the pictures. I saved many of them in screenshot mode.
  • t86y, on 12/22/2007, -5/+0Any body know the music in it?
    • 10GunSalute, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Yes, but it's in a super-secret section of this page that we won't tell you about
    • uptown, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1The guy created it himself
  • AttacheCrime, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1The making of section is really worth checking out.
  • Julirocks, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1The AIDS were truly shocking in a good way.
  • lordterrin, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1one of the best things I've seen on Digg in ages.... and I agree, the AIDES pictures were absolutely brilliant.. especially the superman one.... I have the song on repeat...
  • Myos, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3I wonder if its possible to get a copy of the song playing.
    • Hoogs, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1I really hope so, I could listen to it all day.
  • zcreem, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1A truly beautiful site, one of the best implementations of Flash I have seen, it adds to the experience not detracts.
    The making of sections was also very educational. I am envious of the creativity of the guy.
  • wisie, on 12/22/2007, -2/+1Awesome
  • wrathofg0d, on 12/22/2007, -2/+0Also wanting the music oh god where is it, I'll even buy it off itunes
  • Siegfriedson, on 12/22/2007, -5/+1Bunch of modern art crap, but I won't digg it down just because it doesn't suit my tastes.
