Damien Chavanat.

Illustrator

The year 1960 saw the birth of Brasilia, the French atomic bomb, and Damien Chavanat. From then on, nothing would be the same.
Primarily a press illustrator, he has collaborated with numerous newspapers, including Le Monde. Though he tends to be a homebody, the happy accidents of life and the democratization of air travel in the late twentieth century have drawn him out of his walls. He then published small travel notebooks with a unique perspective. Along with Elsie Herberstein and Justin Creedy-Smith, he is one of the 3 Moustiquaires, the authors of ‘Zanzibar’ and ‘Cambodge’ (published by Le Seuil).
Despite the inevitable decline of fossil fuels, Damien Chavanat still strives to keep a cheerful disposition all year round.
