One of the things I like about many illustrators is the wit in their visual metaphors.
\nS\u00e9bastien Thibault<\/a> is an illustrator based in Matane, Quebec who has this in spades. He’s won a bunch of impressive awards and has a stack of big-name, high-profile clients.

He has a knack for taking quite abstract concepts and coming up with unusual yet extremely communicative illustrations.<\/p>\n
