Paperblanks Notebook Esprit de Lacombe 18 cm x 23 cm lined

The French author and illustrator Benjamin Lacombe brings his unique spirit to our collection with this vibrant design. This Frida cover, originally from Lacombe's illustrated biography of Frida Kahlo published in 2017, impressively showcases the artist's ability to capture humanity and genuine emotions through his art.

Described by the artist himself as a blend of pop-surrealism and lowbrow art, Lacombe's style has a vintage look while being distinctly contemporary. With diverse interests ranging from painting and sculpture to cinema and music, Lacombe is regarded as one of the leading figures in contemporary French illustration.

Growing up in Paris, Lacombe completed his education at the iconic École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in the city before publishing his first graphic novel at the age of 19. Now in his late 30s, Lacombe's career has truly taken off, with his works being published and translated worldwide. We can’t wait to see where his fertile imagination and creative spirit will take him next.
