IKESU.ORG is the personal playground of Christophe Clarey. Started in 2001 IKESU became a window on his universe deeply inspired by Japan which he visits regurlarly.

Here is his Curriculum Vitae with his specialities, experience and interests.

I have very good skill and work with: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. I also have production experience with: Autodesk 3DSMax (mainly modelling), Adobe Indesign, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Flash and Font Studio.

To be more productive in the common tasks, I choose useful softwares such as Total Commander (file explorer with quick and powerful tools) and Opera (internet explorer with mouse gesture & shortcuts to find information quickly).
