The how to become a Parisienne IS in French but any nincompoop can figure it out - basically where to buy stuff, where to eat, where to get yr nails done etc. The deeper, darker secrets of inner Frenchiness are elusive comme habitude :(
Fun, Carol! Happy Labor day! It's getting ready to storm here--you can see it brewing. I'll pretend I'm grilling out, how's that!? I'm making chicken piccata. (Not exactly Labor Day fare, but it's what I have here!)
San Francisco radio station KFOG used to sell T-shirts that read, "Use an accordion, go to jail." Photo #4 certainly casts that instrument in a different light.
When I was a young Illustrator, way back when, I remember Goude's work as always being so very creative, inventive, and surprising. A true Renaissance man.
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
I love his work...thanks for putting a name and a link to it!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful post on Labor Day, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed the graphics, wonderful indeed.
Goude is amazing! That book...it appears to be in French...so even the French have to study to be Parisian?
ReplyDeleteThat was a great post! I enjoyed every image, and will keep an eye out for those posters in the metro in a couple of weeks...Thanks.
