Dear Pilou,
I need your help badly and VERY URGENT:
I’m looking for a famous French (I think) Illustrator.
I once saw his website and thought I bookmarked it but apperantly I didn’t.
Description: He is still alive, his work is mainly 2D, flat coloured and very “stillŽe”. The drawings have a 60’s retro look. The people he portraits are usually “beau monde”, enjoying life’s pleasures: drinking cocktails, playing golf, sitting at the pool, …
The only other thing I can remember is that he almost always puts an airplane in the sky. It isn’t much information but I can imagine that if there’s one person finding this guy, it is you.
Hope you can help,
Thanks in advance,
Fets
I’m not Pilou and I am not sure which artist you are looking for, but here is a link to a very famous French illustrator:

Hi Dan
I don’t think so 
Fets said “playing golf”
Moebius is Western or Sc Fi 
Pilou
Maybe Floc’h but it seems that he has not personnal site !
Please more details : a comics drawer or an illustrator (books, publicity…)
The key should be “an airplane in the sky”
But presently I don’t see :rolleyes:
Pilou
THX guys but none of the links is the guy I’m looking for.
The only other tip is that his work is nowadays used a lot in advertising, posters etc.
Thx for the effort.
If it’s not a comics drawer cartoonist, it will be a little more difficult
Pilou
Ps Another tips ? Color palette - Known products ( like Coca Cola …) CD Covers… ???
I can’t say much more exept maybe that the women are all supermodels with a thin waist and very long legs. The men also look ideal and everybody has very white teeth. I think a car-type (automobile) once used this style/illustrator.
I found a few illustrators who’s work looks alike the style I’m looking for but they’re not him.
Maybe if you check their site it will ring a bell?
It is pretty important I can find the wright one.
Hi fets
Same style
Kiraz ?
Edmond Kiraz
In big format (15 images slide the page menu down side)
The people he portraits are usually “beau monde”, enjoying life’s pleasures: drinking cocktails, playing golf, sitting at the pool, … Yes !!! But there is no airplane ! 
Pilou

Hello juandel
“Le WuB” is a great site isn’t
Pilou
Guys, you’re the best. Thanks for the effort and time you took but although your findings come VERY CLOSE he still isn’t found. As soon as I found him I’ll let you know.
Once again…THX!
And enjoy Z!
Hi fets
Monsieur Z ? Cool site! Alias Richard Ziélenkiéwicz but french yes 
I am sure at 98% 
There are airplanes, white teeth and all the rest !
Your memory was good indeed 
Pilou
Monsieur Z … brush
Ps I hope that your urgency is not exceeded
Frenchy you must be related to H. Poirot, S. Holmes, or for that matter toany other great detective!
I knew if anyone could find the guy it was you. Congratulations! It didn’t make the deadline (I needed it as inspiration) but I made a photografic alternative (diffrent style) that pleased my client too, so no harm done.
Anyhow, it is in time for an other project so thank you very much.
I want everybody to know: “FRENCHY PILOU RULES!”
thats right! bravissimo y kudos, Pilou, king of public eyes!
