Petite nature #1

A gangly, wide-eyed man in a sharp black suit and orange shirt backs away in apparent alarm from a small, unimpressed white bird — a wonderfully absurd standoff rendered in loose, expressive watercolor washes of blue and grey. Published by Audie's Fluide Glacial imprint in 2007, Petite Nature brings together creators Zep, Chauzy, and Livaingre for what the cover promises is a deadpan, humanly comic look at life's little indignities. If the cover is any indication, even a pigeon can be your undoing.
