Jean Jullien wants to tell you something. For him, illustration is the simplest method of communication – “with drawing, there’s no need for translation from one language to another.” Simplicity is both his philosophy and his practice. Jullien works with a single paint brush to create his thick black line drawings which are then digitally filled with bold block colour. The illustrations have been translated into sculpture, posters, magazine covers and more. They comment on everyday life with the unpretentious, playful ease of the cartoons he grew up watching.
