I’ve written about Parisian artist Vincent Mahé, one of my favorite illustrators working today, on this blog before. Getting occasional updates on his new projects from Mahé’s Behance account is like getting little Christmas gifts in my inbox.

This recent work really impressed me: an illustrated biography of modern architecture pioneer Le Corbusier. Mahé’s use of two ink colors to further enliven his already playful, graphical interpretation of Le Corbusier’s eventful life and career brought out the kid in me. This is the kind of presentation of history that I would have pored over for hours as a kid, marveling at the line work while inadvertently learning something too. I very much want to get a copy of this for myself, but I’d just as much want to get a translated copy for my kids.
