LYON, FRANCE

Romain Billaud is a French illustrator and art director, passionate about bold colors, vintage aesthetics, and expressive design. Born in the ’90s, he grew up immersed in the magical world of Disney and American pop culture. Diners, motels, skyscrapers, and neon lights shaped his imagination, fueled by TV shows, comics, and record sleeves. He draws inspiration from 1980s airbrush art — slightly provocative and unapologetically vibrant — which he reinvents with a modern and narrative-driven approach. Guided by a pop and nostalgic spirit, Romain creates visuals that evoke movement, emotion, and a certain vision of the American dream.
