Paris-based illustrator Vincent Mahé’s approach is in the Ligne claire style (French for “clear line”) pioneered by Hergé and most popular during the 1950s. The limited colour palette adds to the crispness of Vincent’s work and the narrative in his illustrations is also kept simple. Vincent has been repeatedly commissioned by The New Yorker, Vanity Fair France, Washington Post and the Harvard Business Review which all seem to gravitate towards his communicative illustrations. “I like the fact that it’s not just about making a nice drawing on a blank page but almost like a partnership with writers/journalists,” says Vincent about working on editorial briefs. “Your images and their paragraphs are meant to mix into each other in the reader’s mind.”
