MOON
365 Squares
365 Squares comes from a crazy project to do a drawing every day for a year on a 15×15 cm square sheet of paper. Inside you will find hand-drawn pictures realized using a variety of tools (graphite, colored pencil, inks, watercolor, etc.)
Each book has around 380 pages in 21 x 21cm (8.2 x 8.2 inches) format with a hardback cover.
This project was the subject of a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in April 2024.
About the artist
Moon began his career as a graffiti artist in the 90s. After a few years of self-taught drawing, he entered art school, which later led him to work as a graphic design and art director, and then, as a graphic design teacher.
Under his pseudonym Moon, he crafts his own personal universe through illustrations and paintings and is the project he is currently devoted to.
His creations are mostly gathered under the moniker: ” Polychröm Symbiosis “, illustrating his own dreamlike and surreal world.
Moon expresses his universe through works of art shared on social media, in galleries via solo or group exhibitions, and through art books. Drizzle was his fifth book, following 365 Squares vol. 1, Circus of Souls,365 Squares vol. 2 and Exploration, all successfully funded on Kickstarter!
365 Squares
Vol. 1 & Vol. 2
It was in 2015 that Moon set himself the challenge of a drawing a day for a year, publishing 365 Squares Vol. 1 at the end of this adventure. He did it again in 2018 for 365 Squares Vol. 2. The first edition of Volumes 1 and 2 had been self-published by the artist and had long been unavailable. We’re delighted to be able to bring them back to life in a beautiful hardcover edition with new, previously unpublished illustrations as a bonus!
A word from the editors :
We are delighted to offer you a new version of 365 Squares Vol. 1 & 2, as the first edition is no longer available! To enter Moon’s universe is to let yourself be taken by the hand to discover a world full of vibrant colors, of shapes and nuances, filled with creatures both human and botanic. One often says that a picture is worth a thousand words, but nowhere is this truer than in Moon’s drawings, which reveal an emotion, a torment, an expectation, an encounter, a doubt, a taming… Life in all its palette of emotions.
Drizzle
Drizzle took countless hours, in order to fill the pages of a tiny notebook. Each illustration and characters come alive in its own colors, all shaped by a myriad of tiny lines.
The quote that gave the book its title:
One day, my daughter told me that the hatch fillings reminded her of “the little rain”, the DRIZZLE.
