Pascal Herve - French Impressionist painter???

I am fairly sure the character of Pascal Herve is fiction.

The Dictionary of artist biographies by Saur knows more than 40 artist by the name of Hervé, but no Pascal, sorry.

Pascal Herve
Pascal Herve is an international cycler from France. If you google him, there are several references to him in different languages. I didn't go too far, but he did place 6th in the Tour de Langkawi Telekom 2001 (Malaysia). I'm guessing Eoin Colfer is a cycling fan. Too bad; I was looking forward to seeing the paintings

andrae
i was searching him just now so found this site.
I haven't found anything.

ive looked as well
ive been rereading opal deception and lost colony artemis fowl cos i knew van gogh was real so i decidefd to look up pascal herve no such luck what a bummer would have been something good to study for my art class

stuff on bottom of pages, coherant gnommish,translates real!
Yes, i reasearched Pascal Herve on wkipedia, and pretty much decided that it(he) is fictional, as wiki has never failed me yet, but decided to give the internet a try, and found this. I agree, it would have been fun to see the Fairy Qeen. Ah well, Eoin Colfer is such a good writer, did you notice that, in fairy language, on the bottem of evry page, there is words. I looked up the alphabet (fairy) and decoded some, as fer as i can see, its coherant, and relevant to the book, its really cool, if somone had the patience, they could decode the whole book.

Decode
I have actually decoded two of the bottom texts... but it got kind of boring after that.
The first one isn't really relevant- it's about a chamber pot cleaner for Frond the Elfin King, and if I remember correctly, the second is a message from Foaly.

really?? i was wonder whether or not he was real and thats how i found this page 2!!!! ^ ^ ooo i was wondering what the symbols where on the bottom of the page. what is the alphabet??? i would like to try and decode them as i am bored out of me mind (i'm in korea and have no friends here b/c i live in the us).

i was also reading the Artemist Fowl book (opal deception) and i also hear of his name. i try to look for his name or if any of his picture existed, but his name doesnt show up. and its actually about the 16 painting. but i think pascal herve is a real person, that im pretty sure of ,

It might well be that he was a book illustrater.

But he's not mentioned in the "bible of impressionism, Théodore Duret, Histoire des impressionnistes, Paris,1929.

My daughter and I r reading the series now and we decoded most of the first book even tho she's on the second and I'm on the forth. The translation is very interesting.

Do u still hav the books cuz if so I can c bout gettin u the code.

I decoded the symbols using a font called Gnomish. It was kinda strange.
