Antoine Cossé, Illustrator, Paris

About

This striking editorial illustration by Paris-based illustrator Antoine Cossé depicts a person relaxing against the body of a massive tiger in a nocturnal woodland setting. The composition uses bold ink lines and saturated color washes, contrasting the warm orange and black stripes of the tiger with the deep blue of the night sky overhead. A crescent moon and scattered stars punctuate the dark canopy of tall trees in the background. The person is seated on grass, leaning comfortably against the animal while holding a small cup. The dramatic lighting and expressive linework create a surreal and captivating narrative atmosphere.
