>new Images d'Orient posters

Introducing the new posters that will be seen in Paris and Frankfurt in Jan...
I'm pleased to say that I took the photos as well!

>Paul Smith angels...

Well here's what we did on a rainy afternoon: Christmas decorations with a recycled Paul Smith bag!
Just add a lil'face, wings and hang! Guaranteed fun ahead.

>the melancholic world of Kiarostami

Last weekend I had the chance to see great works: the photos of Abbas Kiarostami in the current exhibit (Kiarostami/Erice) at Pompidou in Paris...
Even the drops of water on his car window have a life of their own...
More here...

>flower patterns...

...that the client did not like but that took a lot of work and are so cute they need to be published for posterity :)

>winter rhapsody...

At last the fashion shoot and catalogue I was telling you about is published! It's the new Rectangle Jaune winter collection; you can see more over here...

>nour & antar...

...is the story of two children growing up in Cairo that I illustrated for the Sesame/Rives Sud collection by Samir Editeur.

>Images d'Orient hits Paris BIS!

Well, not only did they hit Paris but they were awarded too!
Among a few other design companies like euh.. Alessi for example ;)
So cheers to "Images d'Orient" and to Pomme S who does the branding!

>blog of the year!: The Sartorialist

Scott Schuman had 2 passions: fashion and photography... On his free time he decided to shoot stylish people on the streets of NY... Within a year his blog became the most popular fashion blog ever (fashion editors and trend hunters from top notch magazines check it daily!) (me too:) ) and his blog became his job: he is now commissioned to shoot the crowds of Milan, Paris, London etc. during the fashion weeks, and works as a freelance fashion photographer!
Comme quoi: Streets inspire Fashion and Blogs inspire Jobs!

>"Images d'Orient" hits Paris

If you're in Paris from September 7 to 11 don't miss the amazing tradeshow Maison et Objet for a chance to discover "Images d'Orient" the fab tableware...

>Roy Lichtenstein : Évolution

Lichtenstein, one of my favorite artists, is probably the reason I chose grapic arts as a career and as a way to express myself...
He is really the cross -or the merge!- between illustration, comics, graphic design and arts... Taking a simple comics frame and turning it into a huge canvas has always a magical effect on me... If you like pop art, don't miss "Evolution", the late works of Lichtenstein at the newly refurbished Paris Pinacothèque.

>cheers to...Guillaume Canet!

And my crush of the moment goes to... Guillaume Canet! Not only as an actor, recently in "Ensemble c'est tout" a lovely film taken from a great book.. but also as a director in the breath taking suspense of "Ne le dis a personne" in which François Cluzet was awarded as best actor at the Cesars 2007 (3 Cesars all in all with best director for our heartthrob above).

... So rent the two films and enjoy!

>whales and signs in canada...

>les pieds dans l'herbe..

Sorry I've been slow lately, it's just that I'm on vacation and internet is not very accessible where I've been (it's a good break from time to time! I'm an addict!) and right now I'm actually whale watching so I'll have some nice picts for you soon...
I actually quite like this one above too. I'm gonna need it in winter. (sigh).

>quebec's green bag

I believe that we can each do a little thing every day to (try to) save the planet... not really idealistic, more realistic actually.
Example: in many shops or supermarkets in Canada you have the option to buy "the green bag" for 99cents and re-use it as many times as you can instead of the horrible pollution of plastic bags. Personally i think it's quite good looking and I've been using it not only to the market but as a summer handbag too... A green fashion statement!

>can't get enough of MTL...

A burst of colors, a bouquet of smells, that's the Jean Talon market in Montreal...
Thousands of flavors from every corner of the world; even our little "baladi" cucumber!
But the market is not the city's only treasure: check out this awarded site (also designed by compatriots) and dive into MTL!

>citizen k in the skies...

On my way to Montreal, I bought one of my fab mags: Citizen K,
which for a weird (but wow) reason costs only 1 Euro in Europe while you usually pay around 20 dollars!!
And I indulged in the photos and articles of this issue: quite refreshing I must say... a slap in the face!
Graphic art @ 1 Euro only!

NB: can't seem to find their site... Maybe they don't have one!!
Wow is that snob or what!?
Anyway it's at your local newstand...

>blog of the week: Une fille comme moi!
