Maentis illustrations

**maentis** · September 19th, 2012, 07:41 AM

Hi,

Maentis is a collective of artists from Paris specialised in graphic design, illustration and street art. Our main sources of inspiration are anthropology, environment but also imaginary and fantasy world.

Our first project, 99 Steps of Progress, is a serie of illustrations parodying the famous “March of Progress” (that drawing synthesizing 25 million years of human evolution). Surprising, funny or sarcastic, our artworks will be created on various supports (such as t-shirts, posters, canvas, stencils...) and one new illustration will be unveiled everyday during... 99 days !

Check out our work on our website and rendez-vous tomorrow for the next step !

But first, here is a serie of some steps !

We hope you’ll enjoy it,

Maentis

These are great illustrations, and a couple of them were downright comically funny. Great job on the art.
