Kékéflipnote

Kévin Gemin (French pronunciation: ​[kevin ʒəmin]), known online as Kékéflipnote or simply Kéké, is a French artist and animator. He is best known for his work created using the Flipnote Studio line of software for the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS handheld game consoles, including a Steven Universe tribute entitled Steven Pigeon Universe and an animation featuring anthropomorphic pigeons dancing the can-can.[1] Gemin initially discovered Flipnote Studio in 2009 after having animated via traditional means for a period of time and was inspired by 1930s cartoons, specifically the work of Tex Avery.[2] In May 2018, Gemin spoke at the 14th annual Pictoplasma Conference and Festival for character design and art in Berlin.[3]
