This great little book of simple, colorful and clean illustrations by art director Vahram Muratyan was fantastic. Sure it was just a little book full of French and American sayings and clichés, but the concept behind it was fabulous.

Visually, he compares living in Paris and New York at two different times in his life; and makes a point to draw the similarities that are still so unique to their geography. In Paris, a Sunday morning might consist of a delicious croissant at the local cafe, but in New York.. Sunday Morning by The Velvet Underground is the best hangover song after Saturday night fun.

There’s a BUNCH of these fun visual idioms in the book so walk on over to your nearest book store and take a look. PS: you might need to understand French or have access to Google Translate to understand the comparisons.
