HAPINESS never comes alone … (part 1)




When you receive a call in the night from a man you've never seen before who proposes you an original 50's Levi's denim banner sign. First you think that it is a bad joke from your best friends…



…you  ask many questions but try to keep your calm…




…How old is it?…



50's? are you sure?




What condition?




Where does it come from?




Do you know the owners?




Are you sure it is an original one ?




Then you send pics to a friend and specialist you trust in 1000%




…And go back to bed to celebrate LIFE with your family !

THE illustrator…



YES it's rare to read Mister FCC writing about art and illustration BUT…
when strolling on Instagram the beard man falls in love with a graphic style he must tell to the whole world how his heart is beating strong!
Modern and retro, strong and soft, free and composed, digital and so manual…you know how to give life with lines and lights… Your "CHIAROSCURO" gives me the thrill!
YES BENJAMIN I LOVE YOU!

But of course vintage style and roots clothing are not so far…
Benjamin knows the light of the silky moleskin, the faded blue of the indigo linen and the fuzzy wooly greys of the tweed…



















…Because he wears them…
(Ben's favourite dressing room)





Long life to THE illustrator !
