We love everything about these illustrations. The style, the color, the concepts behind them, all resonate with us.

Entitled “Verbéton”, the series shows nature and animals taking over human constructs, from buildings and monuments, to tuk-tuks and even aerial trams. We see all manner of critters, from spotted deer, to lemurs, and even the elusive Okapi, or forest giraffe.

The work of French studio Fago, the colorful and lively art show mother nature reclaiming her rightful place in the world.  

If you’re like us, and find it fascinating to picture how nature might actually take over our built society, there’s a book on the subject called The World Without Us that we recommend.

    Really love the serenity of these “block prints”; the colors, the subject, the light and airy feeling. Perfect way to wake up to today!
