Ironic art

Guy Billout’s topsy-turvy illustrations subvert our perception of the world with clever twists and ironic flourishes. French-born Guy came to New York in 1969 and has worked as an illustrator ever since, but it’s taken us until now to celebrate his magnificent work on the site. Offering a subtle but thought-provoking approach to editorial illustration, Guy’s work has been featured in publications including _The New Yorker_, _The Atlantic_, and _The Wall Street Journal_ numerous times over.

Everything is better with Mr. Bean in it (obviously). Why would classic paintings be an exception?
