Coco de Paris

Posted by on

Coco de Paris, a mixed media designer, paints charming and humorous creatures on antique french paper. This series in particular was illustrated on “La Petit Illustration,” a weekly French literary journal that published plays, novels, and short stories in the 1920s. So in addition to owning an incredibly unique piece of art, you’ll own a little bit of French history. Cool, huh?

(Coco de Paris prints, $10-$18)

    These are GREAT!! Love them! Thanks for sharing!

    (Have written about Dorothy Draper today and the Greenbrier, so I need to “doublethank you” for that post too – of yours – that inspired me a lot!!). Feel like writing a thesis on her now -am so impressed by her work.

    Lots of love,

    just recently I found a seller on etsy that does a similar thing! She prints images on dictionary pages from the 1800′s. They are gorgeous. I love this kind of recycled art

    Ladies,

    I absolutely adore these prints. Almost ALL of them. And I can’t believe how affordable they are! I am on my way over to the Etsy site to purchase quite a few …

    Thank you for letting us know!

    I ordered these the second you posted. She was amazing and customizing and getting them to me ASAP. I highly recommend. I ended up getting the skull w gold crown, the customized deer w antlers (added my husband & my names to it) and the french bulldog with bubble gum. She even included a smaller print of a peacock for free. Amazing!

    I love the one with the fox, it definitely stands out like reading the book and someone staring at you. But the one that has the most elegance would definitely be the bird on the chair. Something on the angle of the bird and the chair just gives you that feel of elegance.
