Bookseller Pascal Coudert of Paris offers a copy of L'artiste (F.I.D.H., 1991) with text by Raymond Devos and illustrations by Jean-Michel Folon. Folon has added a very simple original drawing of an artist's hand in multicolored pencil. What a beautiful copy of the book!

A postcard illustrated in ink and watercolor by Jean-Michel Folon was sent from France via air mail in 1976 to Evelyn Farland of Poster Originals, Limited. Her New York City gallery sold original art posters. On the postcard, Folon incorporated the company logo into his figure's eyes while mistakenly rendering the word Posters as a plural in the address. The artwork, complete with stamps and postmarks, was put on the auction block in 2019 with an estimate of $5,300 to 6,100. It apparently did not find a buyer, although every lot in the sale is listed as passed, so who knows what really happened? Whatever the case, the original art is now available for purchase at $3,500.

Also from eBay, here's an example of how this original artwork was used. The listing also features the classic sales line "Inside of bag somewhat grimy." There's such a thing as too much honesty.
