Lowpop – Liberty Rising
Calais, France –
Lowpop has created this interesting piece called “Liberty Rising”. One of our dedicated Anchorpoint members found this gem. It’s a fitting take on the American icon, especially since it was the French who created it. Very dynamic and interesting.

SIMPLE DESIGN = HOURS OF FUN
Paris, France –
I remember a time before video games when you had to use your imagination to keep yourself entertained. A cardboard box was the perfect fort. Well guess what kids – it’s coming back. Low tech, ethical, chic and great to play with, thatÂ’s the concept of the brandÂ’s designer, Armelle Vetillard.
Do not underestimate children. This is the perfect canvas for little story tellers to thrive. Whether you are pretending to be a celebrity, bistro chef or mummy preparing a leg of lamb. ThereÂ’s no end to the possible storylines with this contemporary theatre in reversible cardboard. These cardboard screens very quickly and easily become a game that has infinite possibilities.
It isasy to assemble, and very stable, the theatre consists of three sections which are printed on both sides; a floor-standing lamp and a cat on the living room side, and lots of fun utensils on the kitchen side! Plus, the television screen comes off and becomes a map of France to fill in on one side, and a drawing of a mini pop star on the other! And like a real theatre, your children can use their dolls or Action Man like puppets. Finished playing? The theatre folds up flat so it can easily slide under a bed or behind a cupboard.The theatre is made from 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard, made in France.
Dimensions when erected: H: 126cm, L: 65cm, Side: 15cm
Dimensions when flat: 100x126x1.5cm

Lyl – Foxy Vectors From France
Paris, France –
We discovered Lyl in the myspace universe link. She has a strong following of fans that span the globe. Her sexy female characters have an anime-inspired look that really appeals to her generation. She was nice enough to answer her questions in both English and French as not to loose touch with her Parisian countrymen.Lyl is kind, smart and hard working. She draws inspiration from Parisian culture and tempers it with a playful mixture of design principles from around the world. Her work has been picking up speed and so we decided to catch her before she becomes a big star. Introducing: Lyl.—
Anchorpont:Tell us about yourself.
Lyl:The biography would be pretty short; I’m 26 years oldI use to draw since I was a kid but I think I never imagined I could make it my profession.Nobody in my family or friends was involved in any kind of artistic career, so when I was 18 I decided to start communication studies, it seemed more “reasonable” to everyone.I was ready to work as a press agent, but it appeared to me that I wouldn’t be happy doing anything else than drawing, so I just changed my mind.I’m a graduated graphic designer / illustrator since 2005, but I started to get really interested in street art and graffiti around 2002. From this moment, I kind of focused on pin-up characters, started to create stickers and to past it in the streets…Now, I’m working in Paris as a freelance illustrator, and spend my free time drawing sexy girls and looking for occasion to make them live.
La biographie sera courte, je nÂ’ai que 26 ansJe dessine depuis que je sais tenir un crayon, mais je nÂ’avais jamais imaginé que je pourrais un jour en faire ma profession.Personne dans ma famille ou mes amis n’évoluait dans une carrière artistique, alors à 18 ans, jÂ’ai commencé des études de communication, ce qui semblait plus “raisonnable” à tout le monde.J’étais prête à travailler en tant quÂ’attachée de presse quand jÂ’ai réalisé que je ne serais jamais heureuse si je ne dessinais pas, alors jÂ’ai finalement changé dÂ’avis.Je suis officiellement graphiste – illustratrice depuis 2005, mais jÂ’ai commencé à mÂ’intéresser à lÂ’art de rue et au graffiti vers 2002. CÂ’est à peu près à cette époque que je me suis concentrée sur les pin-up, jÂ’ai commencé à réaliser des stickers et à les coller dans la rueÂ…Maintenant, je travaille à Paris en tant quÂ’illustratrice freelance, et passe mon temps libre à dessiner mes sexy girls et à essayer de les faire vivre.
