#jesuischarlie: An Illustrator’s Response by @lucille_clerc

“It’s a small way to contribute, to make a drawing,” says Lucille Clerc (@lucille_clerc), a French illustrator and printmaker based in London, whose hand-drawn image in response to the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris resonated with people worldwide. “It’s a little drop in the end, but if it inspires and encourages people to react in a positive way, then it’s good.”

Lucille started drawing as a child, and her work is inspired by architecture and places around her. She draws by hand, then scans her work before creating a screen print. Putting pen to paper was her reaction to the attacks on journalists and artists. “The risk is that you respond to violence with violence, and that would be such a terrible thing to do. The victims were good people and pacifists and I wanted to create something for people to respond to in a peaceful way,” Lucille says. “To express ourselves no matter what, that’s the best tribute we can give.”
