Julien Pacaud’s enigmatic, surrealistic work is showcased in this wonderful series, published as a signed and numbered box-collection. Julien notes that he always requires a kind of shock to bring him graphically and/or emotionally into his images. He feels no need to explain his art, and is happy for anyone to interpret his work however they like.

Each series follows the same pattern of three panels, with surgical precision. Jules Le Barazer surprises us in every illustration with his simple, clear line, allowing us a glimpse into an absurd – and inevitably disconcerting – world.

The New Yorker once more turned to Jean Michel Tixier to illustrate an article for the magazine’s ‘Campaign Chronicles’. In the US, political campaigns are launched by politicians and professionals, but only really get going with the aid of volunteers.

One film is presented on this cover – not by an actor, but by an object. Can you work out which it is?

Stylist magazine handed Jules Le Barazer a brief to create two illustrations themed around changing representations of the Devil over the centuries. From the time of the renaissance, Faust began to be portrayed – notably in a play by Goethe - in the fashionable dress of the time (stockings, puffy short trousers, moustache). Ever since then, the Devil has been red, and wearing stockings. Jules here reiterates his story-telling skill, with a magnificent illustration of the Devil at the tailor’s shop.

Tyrsa recently collaborated with Nike and Convoy, adding handwritten text to a series of photos by Maciek Pozoga for Nike Football.

Laurent Duvoux wishes you a happy new year 2020!

The Wall Street Journal turned to Antoine Corbineau for an internal advert on the rankings for the best US airports. Antoine’s work valorises detail and space, bringing a playful, graphic quality to a complex and constantly changing set of information around airports. He gives the work a characteristically lively dynamism, which seems very simple at first, but which is full of small details.
