What if the world were a giant hot air balloon traveling through the universe? What if Godzilla really existed and walked the streets of New York? And what if the moon landing were just a beautiful film directed by Kubrick? For now, these are things far from the reality we know, but there is a place where all of this is true. We’re talking about the illustrations of Simon Bailly.
Simon Bailly is a freelance French illustrator who began his career collaborating with various French publications. Since then, his partnerships have significantly expanded, and today he works not only with magazines and journals but is also involved in creating children’s books, event illustrations, and advertisements. His portfolio includes prominent names such as The New Yorker, The New York Times, Hermès, and MUBI.
Simon Bailly’s works, which blend elements of comics and illustration, are always characterized by a strong sense of humor, making them suitable for both surreal and dreamlike subjects, as well as for tackling social issues and current affairs. We have selected some of his pieces, but to discover more, visit his website and Instagram profile.
