Featured Works
Montpellier – Arc de Triomphe
Two versions (day and night) pay tribute to the city’s iconic arch and Mediterranean elegance. Perfect for interiors, cafés, or creative spaces.
Masterpieces vs. Mindless Scrolling
A museum satire featuring Leonardo da Vinci reacting to smartphone-absorbed viewers. A commentary on attention, art, and digital culture.
Every piece featured in the Modicum Editions gallery is hand-drawn — never AI-generated — and reflects a blend of wit, storytelling, and design. Subjects range from vintage-inspired travel posters and editorial satire to whimsical characters and thoughtful social commentary.
Just Be You
A cast of uniquely hatted animals celebrates individuality and self-expression — ideal for kids’ rooms, studios, or educational settings.
Girl Power – Slay the Dragon, Keep the Sword
A feminist fantasy illustration capturing strength, resolve, and the moment of personal triumph.
Famous Artists Ballade in Provence
Dalí, Van Gogh, Kahlo, and Picasso stroll together through southern France in a whimsical, historically referential group portrait.
Regional Inspiration
Many pieces in the Modicum Editions collection are inspired by my surroundings in Claret, Occitanie — including the dramatic landscapes of the Pic Saint-Loup region and the layered history of Montpellier. From Cathar castles to Provençal skies, the visual storytelling draws deeply from place.

Why “Modicum”?
The word “modicum” signifies something small, yet meaningful — a trace of wit, a spark of humanity, a measure of beauty. These values shape my approach to art and storytelling. Each Modicum Editions piece is intended to offer that small but vital presence in a space — inviting reflection, conversation, and connection.
Thank you for supporting independent, hand-drawn illustration.
