Théophile Sutter, Illustrator, Paris

About

This vertical digital illustration created by Paris-based illustrator Théophile Sutter features a whimsical train scene rendered in a bold graphic style. An elderly man with round goggles and a black cap stands beside a massive metallic steam train, using a shovel to toss green banknotes into the open furnace door where bright orange flames lick the interior. Stacks and individual bills of paper money flutter dynamically through the air, tumbling from the shovel toward a sack below and scattering across the foreground. The composition employs strong diagonal lines perspective drawing the eye toward a dark tunnel in the upper right background. The color palette relies on high-contrast yellows, greys, and greens, accentuated by Ben-Day dot shading patterns reminiscent of vintage comic print techniques.
