L'horoscope

Every morning, a very routine old man gets up, eats his breakfast and goes out to tend to his flowers. Accompanied by his little dog, Lucien, the old man, makes sure he never deviates from his routine. He hates new things. But one windy day, a gust of wind brings him a newspaper with his horoscope on it. He is told: "An unexpected event will break your routine. "A nightmare for a man who does not like surprises. A tender, funny, touching and surprising story about our little habits and how the unexpected can sometimes come from ourselves.This album has been shortlisted for the Applied Arts Photography & Illustration Awards, Editorial Illustration/Entire Book-Complete 2020 category.
