This is a logo for a bed and breakfast in Brittany (France). My original idea was to show that the business is based on the manor, and also as I wanted to suggest that it is an ancient house – they do their own calvados and cider etc – I thought of working around the idea of the wax seal they put on bottles and letters.

Paris, Janvier 2010, à l’inter-saison

Paris et moi… c’est une longue histoire d’amour, entrecoupée de silences…Ma vie y est plus tranquille: j’y suis un touriste comme un autre… J’arpente les rues et j’observe… J’aime attendre la fin du jour depuis les quais… ou contempler les courbures des platanes bordant les bâtiments parisiens en vieille pierre… Je m’imprègne de leur art de vie, je le lie au nôtre… C’est très agréable de se laisser bercer par la poésie de villes étrangères ; Ça nourri infiniment… Je pense que c’est parce que l’art est essentiel… En fait je suis très sensible aux détails. À l’esthétique. Dans mon métier comme dans la vie, il faut voir les choses comme des œuvres d’art en création perpétuelle… Et il faut chercher à perfectionner chaque détail pour atteindre une harmonie efficace. Une beauté.

J’ai un rituel : à chaque séjour à Paris je passe une soirée avec des amis parisiens à moi : des créateurs… Nous voyons les choses de la même façon. Peut-être parce que la beauté est universelle..

Remerciements à Captain Tany et à La Mairie de Paris

Steve McQueen left an indelible imprint as one of Hollywood’s sexiest leading men. His balance of masculinity and sensitivity made him both a man’s man and a ladies’ man all at once. His revered roles in films such as Bullitt, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair and, Papillion have been often imitated but never repeated. An actor, race-car driver, and father, McQueen was the epitome of the American dream, rising from hardscrabble circumstances to become one of the most famous movie stars in the world.

McQueen bio from stevemcqueen.com

I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror… Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces… seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn’t know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it… I never want to forget. And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God… the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men… trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment! Because it’s judgment that defeats us.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874-1965) described himself as “an English-Speaking Union,” being the son of Lord Randolph Churchill and the American heiress Jennie Jerome. He was educated at Harrow and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, and was sent to India with a cavalry commission in 1895. He won early fame as a war correspondent, covering the Cuban revolt against Spain (1895), and British campaigns in the Northwest Frontier of India (1897), the Sudan (1898) and South Africa during the Boer War (1899). Churchill had authored five books by the age of 26. His daring escape from a Boer prison camp in 1899 made him a national hero and ushered him into the House of Commons, where his career spanned 60 years.

Harvey Milk was a city supervisor of a San Francisco and the first openly gay officer in the city’s history.

He, along with San Francisco mayor George Moscone, was shot and killed on Nov. 27, 1978 by Dan White, a former supervisor who had resigned his seat and who became enraged when the mayor would not reappoint him.

Mr. Milk was elected in November 1977 to the district that represented Haight-Ashbury and upper Market Street areas where much of San Francisco’s gay population was centered.

Mr. Milk had campaigned unsuccessfully for the supervisor position in 1973 and 1975 before winning two years later with 30 percent of the vote over 16 candidates.

Born in New York City, Mr. Milk and received a bachelor’s degree in 1951 from from Albany State College for Teachers. He had worked as a financial analyst in New York City before moving to San Francisco in 1969.

Though open about his sexual preference from the start, Mr. Milk campaigned on a broad platform that included expanded childcare facilities, low-rent housing and a civilian police-review board, rather than primarily on the issue of homosexual rights. However, he had been instrumental in passing a homosexual rights ordinance that was considered the most stringent in the nation at that time.

Mr. White was charged with murder, but convicted of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, leading to chaos and riots throughout the city.

Vous pouvez faire de belle choses comme être un gagnant, et si vous l’êtes, soyez-le avec classe. La vie est un art ; Pirart Society.

You can do dirty things like beating people up, but if you do, do it with class. Life’s an art; Pirart Society.

We know the battle ahead will be long,
but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way,
nothing can stand in the way of the power of a Pirart calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant.
We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check.
We’ve been warned against offering the people of this Society false hope.
But in the unlikely history of the Pirart Society, there has never been anything false about hope.

(text derived from a too famous speech, anybody paying attention to what’s happening in the word will recognize)

But that was not a regular order, it was for a young man called Mehdi Abdesmad. To most of you that’s just an Arabic name but to some sport fans he’s a young talented Canadian football player (American Football, yes dear) going 18 y.o. in 2010. Not playing for college or NFL yet but one of the very best defensive player in world at the moment. So I wouldn’t try to steal his mama’s purse when he’s around, you’ll end up snapped and squashed by 250 pounds of bones and muscles even before you can start saying ‘got ya!’.

Special requests call for special care. I thus customized the usual Classic polo, with the usual sportman’s fetish number. I didn’t want to come up with the usual 45 (45’s Mehdi Abdesmad’s jersey number) on the shoulder or in the back. So I worked around the idea that the Pirart would have put a playing card with that number tucked in the bandeau around his bowler hat.

Nevertheless  I like to play with anachronism and classic imagery; I also need to come up with a visual support for the promotion of Pirart Society. One image I came up with is the following which for some strange reason makes me think of the 80’s and Michael Jordan amongst other things.
