- Why did you create this work?
I live in the République district of Paris, which is the epicenter of all the protests. There is at least one each weekend. So, in order to bring some colors and give a smile to local people, I illustrated a cop dancing and printed each dance move on a separate sticker. Those stickers are everywhere around the Place, so people can photograph and collect them to recreate the full dance! - How were your illustrations used?
On each stickers, a part of the dance is printed. To reproduce the full dance, you’ll have to chase each stickers around the place (they’re easy to spot btw)!
- What materials and techniques did you use?
It’s a sketch, colorized and divided in each key frame. It’s a proper cell animation. You have around 30 different cops to create the move!
