Sarcastic Illustrations by Cosmo Danchin-Hamard

French illustrator Cosmo Danchin-Hamard is no stranger to wit and sharp edges—not only in her lines but in her tone as well. After spending years in the dynamic world of fashion, Cosmo eventually pivoted to illustration, bringing with her a touch of glamor and a knack for amusing storytelling.

Her graphic universe is heavily inspired by comics, with clean lines and bold use of color. The women at the center of her pieces are inspired by Pre-Raphaelite paintings, but Cosmo subverts traditional expectations with a playful, sarcastic twist. This combination gives her work a unique charm—delicate yet unexpectedly disarming. At first glance, you’re captivated by the elegance of her characters, but soon enough, you find yourself smiling at the quirky humor woven in the scene. The captions and speech bubbles in her surreal comic panels carry a sense of irony that’s refreshingly unapologetic.
