Shoes 2008 Calendar Book

What an incredible artist Sempe once more proofs to be with this astounding collection of charming drawings and petit cartoons. not only is his incredible talent shown through the seemingly simple sketches with an occasional brush of gentle watercolor but also through the overall complexity and depth of every single one of his pieces of the majestic Parisian daily life. each of these works contains a unique, one of a kind story that one gets absorbed into imagining what it is like to be there in flesh. author’s utmost skills make the French streets flourish, the Eiffel Tower stand solo quite proudly amongst nostalgic, ancient immeubles, the hum of the morning business as pleasant as it can be as the glasses gently clink on the tray next to the crusty, warm pain au chocolat - the ability to make the city alive with just a few strokes of paint and a couple of subtle lines of dark pencil is truly extraordinary and inspiring.
