CURIOSER and CURIOSER - IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS POP UP BOOK by BENJAMIN LACOMBE –

Il etait une fois - Benjamin Lacombe from B&C on Vimeo.

Everyone that knows me bit is aware of the fact that I am in love with every single classic tale you can think of. If you feel the same, this fabulous POP UP book will amaze you. Paintings and interpretation of all tales are exquisite. I especially like the fact that it brings you more to the dark era of this type of stories instead of taking you to the ‘’Disney’’ type of journey.
