THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Delcourt
Original illustration created for a bookplate
at the Amiens festival in 1999, also cover

Watercolor, India ink and pastel highlights on paper
25 × 25 cm (9.84 × 9.84 in.)
With her large net in hand, the optimistic Mole gambols forward, chasing butterflies. Trying to avoid a rock, Toad falls backwards, makes a false move and starts whining, as usual. Mole and Toad, two radically different characters... two visions of life. For this illustration, conceived for the Rendez-vous de la bande dessinée d'Amiens, and then reprinted in 2011 on the cover of the study magazine On a marché sur la Bulle, Michel Plessix plays with the mineral and plant decor and the expression of his two characters. A pictorial composition served by a luminous color scheme.
