President Jacques Chirac caricature

French President Chirac cast his vote in front of the cameras. Would he be re-elected or not?
That was the pressing question then... In the first round, Chirac barely got 20% of the vote.
But in the second round he got more than 80%! Unexpected success!

a rough and finished line drawing.

a detailed study of a French baguette :-)

several color tests... the difference is mainly in the background, because I had my doubts...

painted with gouache on Steinbach 'Aquarelle' paper 250 gr/m², my most used technique at the time.

this illustration was requested by the Flemish children's magazine 'Klap'.

I made a one-off cameo here. Did you notice? :-)
Yes, that's me, 20 years ago, without gray beard :-D
