Very silly question: do orders of your Caravan prints come with the frames? I assume no, but since it’s a unique size I thought I would ask anyway. They are so gorgeous, they’re definitely worth getting custom frames for regardless!

No they don't come with the frames ! I know framing can be challenging for sizes like these, but I went for a 70cm length to match standard frames sizing ; in a pinch, they can also be fitted inside a standard 50x70cm frame. There are also services online to do custom framing for fairly cheap, so I hope it'll work out for everybody !

The Caravan has reached its destination ! It's coming to you in the form of a large set of art prints with chrome gold finish, 70x25cm each.

Preorders are now open for the print set and will run for a month ! International shipping is available, and visitors of the Paris City Pop festival will be able to pick up their order at my table for early access and no shipping fees.

In french, to have "golden hands" is to showcase exceptional skill in craftmanship - many similar idioms exist across the world. The Golden Caravan is a tribute to the enduring mastery and collaborative knowledge of artisans, and to the long travels of merchants who carried it over land and sea.

Hi! Your Golden Caravan piece is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen and I love it so, so much. I just wanted to ask if the preorders you mentioned in the tags are for it as a print? And if so, will it be a whole long print or two pieces? And do you know the general size? (Your art in general is just so fantastic and you've been on of my favorite artists since I found your blog. I want it in my house.)

Hello, thanks so much ! I'll make a proper announcement post with all the info very soon (I'm sorting out shipping stuff atm), but yes ! It's for a set of two prints, sold together, each 69cmx25cm which is about 27"x10" if I'm not mistaken.

I originally wanted to make it one big mural (its been printed like that before for an exhibition) but I thought it'd be more practical this way so it can be framed and arranged however you like.

I'll update you guys very soon ! Thanks again for your interest!

On the hundredth day after the new year the heralds come to the doors of the city, announcing the arrival of the Golden Caravan at the farthest stop of its route ; like every year, citizens and travellers will surely gather at the western door to see it come to pass.

Right behind the banners as customary are the sculptor priests, foremost of the stonemason orders, bringing in this year's votive masterwork for the festivities. The black and white steppe oxen precede the arrival of the head guild architect, charged with the safekeeping of the citizens' sacred geometry. The graduating apprentices and newly welcomed novices walk besides the draftsroom carriage, bearing the icons of the Citizen Architects Guild : ardor and patience. Out of the kilns of the imperial workshops come delicate masterwork sought after the world over ; the sister-ceramists are selected from various key regions of the trade system and bring their local styles to the imperial production. Those workshops are the northernmost stop on the caravan's route.

Behind the masons, the torchbearers announce the arrival of the metalworkers' guilds, chief of which the head goldsmith on a palanquin of her own design. The braseros and forges are continuously tended by guild kindlers as to remain lit throughout the entire voyage of the caravan. Second to last comes the host of the manticore, behind the braseros of the master kindlers. It is believed that the creature requires her caretakers to be pure of heart and most diligent ; the honour is bestowed only on the highest performing apprentices of the smithing guilds. On the last day finally, behind the last of the apprentices, the crones of the chain count the days left to craft, keeping misfortune at work away, and, some even say, Death itself.

Hi, I don't really wanna bother you, but I have seen a bot that has stolen your profile pic and the header. It's a weird amazon job bot. Just wanted to tell you so you know. I'm going to report it now for spam

Ig the good thing from this bot is the fact that it showed me your amazing art

(photo evidence: )

Thank you for pointing this out to me (and thank you to everyone else who sent an ask) !

That's definitely not me, but I think everyone could guess, lol. Kind of weird and uncanny. I think the best we can do is indeed to report for bot/spam ; it's not doing much harm to me specifically and I doubt anyone is fooled, but I still wouldn't want my tumblr likeness used to promote shitty scams or sponsored links.

If you guys have a minute to click report, please do so !
