Monsieur Qui is a French illustrator who loves – “cats, dogs, handmaded works, brass bands and paste big posters in the streets of Paris”.
I love the the mix of girly, flowery illustration and boyish motorbikes and skate culture. Oh and the hand drawn type, of course!
Nice work Frenchie!

Oh Lucy you clever thing! I photographed street art by Monsieur Qui in my trip to Paris last year, not knowing who the artist was! Thank you for solving the mystery! :)

Good one – thank you for introducing me to this fellow Frenchy!! I really like Monsieur Qui's work, his portfolio's gorgeous, especially his doodles.
Talking about his street work, anyone who's into graffiti & typography and who happens to be travelling to France in the next 5/6 weeks, there's a fantastic exhibition in Paris at the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art. It's a retrospective on the history of graffiti – it features amazing work from 1970s New York artists, with great video interviews. It ends on January 10th, 2010.
