“Our new favourite illustrator.”
— It's Nice That
Jean-Michel Tixier was born in Limoges, France, and now works from his shared studio in the heart of Paris. The traditional French cartoons of Hergé and Joost Swarte aesthetically inspire his stylish and witty illustration style. His characters could have stepped fresh off the pages of Tintin comics right into the present day. “I mix the old retro ‘ligne claire’ style with a modern and adult spirit,” Jean-Michel says. “I like editorial, fashion, and print,” he says. “But I would like to work more for printed objects such as bottles and packaging designs.” A self-taught illustrator, his saucy, Gallic work has attracted high fashion clients in the world of publishing and retail because Jean-Michel’s illustrations ooze wit, style, and confidence rarely matched.
