For Editions Thierry Magnier’s latest book, they asked 16 illustrators to each create an shop for an imaginary street. Rue de L’Articho then came to life, packed with a flower shop, joke shop, fruit stand, and everything in between. It even comes with a shopping list on the front cover, inviting readers to search for items as they visit each shop, page by page. Rue de L’Articho is entirely in French, so I can’t read a word, but each bright illustration is as clear as if you’re walking down the street yourself.
