Oh, Paris: the city of romance, Amelie, delicious macaroons, fine wine and Coco Chanel. And New York! The city of Frank Sinatra, the Brooklyn Bridge, Carrie Bradshaw, brick facades and high-rises - the city that never sleeps. Do you prefer Paris or New York in the comparison between the cities? Make your decision through the brilliant illustrations of the French graphic designer Vahram Muratyan.
French graphic designer Vahram Muratyan spent a lot of time in New York in 2010, where he on his blog Paris vs. New York began publishing illustrations of typical features of Paris that differ from those of New York: from morning coffee to fashion, literature, buildings and people's habits. When he later published these illustrations in the book Paris vs. New York: A Tally of Two Cities (Paris vs. New York: Showdown between the cities) was the only one that became a real hit.
