Antoine Boutin: A Career in Concept Art

Image
[This article was originally created in July 2018 for the rather short-lived website Envision Gaming, which I wrote a few pieces for, before it sort of imploded. The interview was carried out via e-mail.] Antoine Boutin has made a career out of creating art for games, ads, and film.
