""I have seen many here on Flickr who take great photos. I've seen many who can edit photos into very fanciful images. It is not often, however, that I've encountered folks like the petite chose The imagination, humor, originality, and CHARM and love towards animal that they add to their photos and edits makes each a true joy and delight to see. Just go through their photostream. I guaranty that this wonderful lady will leave you feeling happy, energized, and very inspired. I consider myself very fortunate to have found them. In my opinion, they are what Flickr is all about!! :-)""""""

Petite Chose...means "Little Thing"... Well, nothing is "little" in Petite Chose's work. She's amazingly creative, funny, skilly and gentle. A great humanity comes out of her pictures thru the clearly love of animals. We feel that for her, any tiny living thing has importance on the planet. Her art is brilliant. Petite… Read more

Martine, Martine, my dearest Martine... I made a lil comment/ request on "The Furless Sisters" and when I woke up the next morning... I found my BABY BOOGEY MAN sitting very proper on your beautiful photo stream. You are so dear and sweet. You give us all so much joy when we visit. Thank you so much... I will cherish this picture forever. My little flickr friend in France SO creative and talented... I just adore you.

A grand tradition is alive and well in this petite chose, linking 19th Century parlor games to 20th Century surrealism a la Max Ernst to a kind of 21st Century parlor game, where Photoshop is the scissors and glue and Flickr is the parlor.

A grand tradition is alive and well in this petite chose, linking 19th Century parlor games to 20th Century surrealism a la Max Ernst to a kind of 21st Century parlor game, where Photoshop is the scissors and glue and Flickr is the parlor. Along the way Martine's work encompasses both high art and the domestic pasttime, both a spirit of social-psychosexual exploration and innocent amusement.

To define Martine would be like defining the moon! Where do you begin? To know Martine is to love Martine seems a good start. She's French, yes, but we cant hold that against her! When I think of her, I think of her clad in a loose Breton jumper on a Bodega Bay beach fighting off attacking Seagulls Or I see her on a… Read more

To define Martine would be like defining the moon! Where do you begin? To know Martine is to love Martine seems a good start. She's French, yes, but we cant hold that against her! When I think of her, I think of her clad in a loose Breton jumper on a Bodega Bay beach fighting off attacking Seagulls Or I see her on a speedboat charging down the grand central canal in Venice with Carry Grant behind the wheel Or I see her dying of thirst, walking across the vastness of the Sahara Desert dragging poor Boudi (who's got a heart murmur and cant take the heat) Crying out'' Water, Water, Eau Petillante!'' But then I see her in sepia,clad in her jungle kaki's playing Amelia Lockheart, Martine the famous Aviatrix boarding an old twin-wing and flying down to a lions den on the Great Rift Valley, back combing a lion's maine and creating a Jean Cocteau bouffant... Oh, and she takes great Fotos! I wrote the above when Martine took her first steps with Photoshop.. She's come a long way since then and I now add this: In Petite Chose's world everything is turned upside-down. Don't let her sweet pastoral fairy tale images fool you into a false sense of security, she is up there with the best surrealistic political satirists. Her images are also about everyday life, women's lives transposed to animal, for an example her golden Labrador 'Boudi' becomes 'Nanny', these are sometimes whimsical and sometimes moral but all are funny! Its worth stopping and reading her texts below these pictures for added insight, both in English and French, but after viewing the slideshows, I believe they stand up by themselves.
