I love travel posters – both for the sense of adventure they instill, and the way they allow the artist to take a complex subject like a city and distill it to a simple icon.
When it comes to Paris, it’s no secret that my wife Nichole and I have a penchant for the pedestrian pleasures. So with this project, my aim was to create a series of travel-poster-inspired illustrations, but with a twist: to focus on the moments that you enjoy now and remember fondly later, rather than on the monuments, which instead serve only as an architectural backdrop. The result is a series of four prints that give a playful prominence to the things you do over the things you see.
Each incorporates a classic Paris monument into the background, forming a kind of blueprint against which the action plays out – a walk in the rain, a rest at a cafe, a bicycle ride, and a champagne toast.
Each print measures 13×19 and is printed on a gorgeous, heavy matte, fine art paper with slight texture.
I’m thrilled to offer three complete sets to HIP readers, and I hope you enjoy them!

Such wonderful art that would be great in so many places. I must check out the site to see what else they have. A large closet, bathroom, bedroom, I could go on and on. Love this blog; always feel a bit younger and ready to try something new after reading each day. THANKS!
Evan , these are very clever! I have been to paris 3 times & my fiends that have never been, just don’t get the obsession with me! I have had a Paris bathroom every since my first trip. I always collect posters & have them where I can find space. The posters just remind me of something wonderful that I experienced while there! Always planning my next trip! Would love these posters for my hall!
You are a clever artist
