LE CHOCOLAT DES FRANCAIS
This is my contribution to friends' project, "Le chocolat des Français" (the French chocolate).
They gathered several visual artists / illustrators to customise blank packagings around quite an obvious theme: France.
France prides itself for being a welcoming country. I wish it really becomes one soon!
Playing with my home country's clichés.
An Apache, an early 20th century Parisian gang.
Cliché 2: French rooster in French boxing position... Now I realize it could be an English pub's sign, "The Fighting Rooster"
3 of my favourite French knives (Opinel, Nontron, Laguiole), in no particular order !
An inmate from Biribi, a military disciplinary camp system for recusant soldiers, in northern Africa.
Stamps of beheaded Louis XVI.
Cliché 3: OK, Riviera, espadrilles, 5-week-paid-holiday-per-year, well you get the idea.
Sorry I forgot to take "work in progress" pictures, all I have is a couple close-ups.
