This song's title is a condensed form of the phrase "Where are you father?" in French. "Ou'tes Papa?" It's about absent fathers/father figures and that void that for a young boy is very hard to fill. Stromae himself dealt with this growing up. He later discovered that his dad was killed in the Rwandan massacre. He is half Belgian, half Rwandan :) 

As I foray into the realm of creature creation, I'm making sure these guys are my go-to for inspiration! This duo is a force of nature and hands down THE masters of shape language. Inspired at a young age by toys, comics, and robots, these men have created a visual identity that is unmistakable, fun, and just downright cool. Their teamwork is so admirable and uncommon these days, even within the collaborative nature of visual development and concept art, where usually singular ideas reign. Feeding off of each other's feedback, critique, and brainstorming, these imaginative dudes have proven that two heads are truly better than one. I admire their playfulness, marketability, organization, and design skills. Their masterful use of shapes and creativity when amassing forms just blows me away. I really cannot stop looking at their work. 

Rob is an artist based in the UK. He's a 3D artist, programmer, game developer, and concept artist. He's developing a game right now called ODANATA, with fellow artist Annaka Tran, and it looks really interesting and SUPER different from anything I've seen. Check it out and check out his blog! Crazy diverse and such a yummy style. It's very....it's just great to look at, idk why but the forms are so thick and substantial, his characters really take up space, they seem to own their environments and have a life-like quality to them, even though they're so heavily stylized and exaggerated in areas. He's very skilled at expressing personality through body language.
