Yvette and Dominique, from PSG to the Bic pen

She was butler for prestigious houses

Yvette and Dominique found their corner of the countryside about fifteen kilometers from Evreux, in The Croix Saint Leufroy. I can tell you that the view on the horizon and the song of the birds are a change from the Parisian splendor, Yvette. Until she retired, not so long ago, she was a butler. She worked for prestigious houses, from Rooster Rooster from Bougival, at Renault ad from the Champs Elysées, to Drugstore Publicis Champs Elysées. As much to tell you that in terms of restoration, she frequented the gratin. The pompom, it’s still when she found herself propelled nanny players, in their dressing room PSG. They all knew her, the Beckham, Ibrahimovic and others Hoarau. Each other always split a little attention, a little gift, to Aunt yvette, the one who conscientiously watched over their well-being on match nights. When security wasn’t enough, on the other side of the door, it even served as the last bulwark between the press and the privacy of players and their families.

He photographs life with the tip of his Bic

Dominique worked not so far from Yvette, near the Champs Elysées. He was in the electronic gadget. They knew each other, but hey, each led his life and only the thread of friendship linked them. Until the day when, not so long ago, the obvious; they will end their days together. Among the many talents of Dominique, the one that is undoubtedly the pride of his Yvette the most, it is what he is able to do with a Bic pen. From a photo or a still image, he will patiently blacken his Canson paper.

L’Auberge Fleurie, its second office

Seated at the table of Auberge Fleurie d’Autheuil Autouillet, his second office, he draws for hours, under the blank gaze of surrounding customers. Hundreds of hours spent pointing the marble on the sheet, like so many pixels. To finally see the masterpiece appear. An elephant with a dark eye, an orangutan with a mischievous look… Impressive life and reality.
