Appuie sur le Champignon

Champignon
































I was inspired to create a poster based on a phrase my French friend David told me: “Appuies sur le champignon.” It literally means “Step on the mushroom” but translates to “Put the pedal to the metal.” I thought this would look good in a kid’s bedroom, to help them get out of bed in the morning.
