I was looking up the Michelin Man and came across an article about him. The Michelin brothers had pioneered the use of the pneumatic tyre in a round-trip race from Paris to Bordeaux in 1895. I searched for images of the Michelin man and came across a wonderful artist named Andre Renault. There is no bio on him, but he did one of his paintings in 1965.
