Pierre-Emmanuel Lyet

Pierre Emmanuel Lyet likes to wear several hats. As an illustrator, his unique colors and tender lines work wonders in editorial – the covers of The New Yorker, the cover of The New York Times Sunday Sports, for instance. They also brighten up children’s imagination in books such as Mona Lisa, My life with Leonard and My wild cat. While wandering the streets of NYC, Pierre-Emmanuel developed a more instinctive style to sketch colorful on-the-spot drawings. As an animator and artistic director, he directed an impressive collection of short films, such as his multi-awarded Parade, along with many tributes to cinema greats such as Spielberg or Truffaut. The quality that ties together Pierre-Emmanuel’s expansive range of projects is his unique blend of soft and vivid colors, and how familiar his creations instantly feel.
