Façades #19

Number 19 in Éditions Polystyrène's Collection Façades, Tanitoc's La Pépie Dès Potron-Minet announces itself with a quietly unsettling cover: a battered door set into a rough stone archway, its surface covered in scrawled graffiti — insults and epithets like "maroufle," "ribauld," "malautru," and "caronhier" scratched alongside crude monster doodles. The deep teal palette gives the whole image a nocturnal, conspiratorial chill, as if you've stumbled upon something scribbled under cover of darkness. A distinctive entry in the Façades series for 2022, it's the kind of cover that rewards a long, curious look.
