#PortfolioDay is as good a time as any to introduce myself on here after almost 6 years. I'm Paul, I'm Jamaican, I live in London. I make art for myself but I also have to do it for money sometimes. 👋🏿

A woman sits in an armchair with a book in one hand. She fondles her necklace with the other. She’s looking off into the middle distance, her brow furrowed. The room she’s in is flooded. Behind her: houseplants, a bookshelf, and a large painting. Monstrous figures emerge from the painting into the room, they all loom above her.

Portrait of a young woman in a puffer jacket in a restaurant booth. She’s looking at the viewer. Her lips are pursed, she’s leaning against the wall, her head rests on her hand. There are a lot of figures and faces overlaid on the figure, doing and saying various things.

A woman having a candlelit bloodbath. She has a cool thigh tattoo. She has a reptilian pet curled around her finger. There’s a tiny white tiger in her soap holder. Each bathroom tile has an illustration in it. She has an open bag of plantain chips off to the side.

Hello #PortfolioDay , I'm Enora Mercier. I've worked as a concept artist for clients such as Riot Games, 20th Century Fox, and as an illustrator for Magic:The Gathering.

My work often involves Eco-punk themes and I am now working in partnership with scientists to illustrate articles, books and papers on the climate crisis and eco-games.

Digital painting in the style of A screenshot from an imaginary eco-punk video game. Ecocide Inc style by Enora Mercier. A character in the foreground aided by a little mammal called a hermine are watching a scene where a polluted industrial refinery and oil tanker monsters are getting overtaken by vines and flowers. User interface and HUD show that the monster allegory of pollution is losing health and the foreground human character is winning.

Karthus leading the spirits of the shadow isles to victory over the knights of demacia. Cyan digital painting by Enora Mercier.

Mixed media digital painting and 3D render done for a board game project. It shows a data center with lots of cables converging towards it, and solar cells for generating energy. Solarpunk style but also decadent and dystopian somewhat.

Poster in the style of reduction linocut propaganda political art. It shows a giant fist of natural vines crushing the logos of various oil companies. Mood is powerful and victorious. The clouds and the entire earth is celebrating.
