Jean Jullien Is the Artist Behind the Viral "Peace for Paris" Picture People Are Sharing A


If you've been on social media since the deadly attacks in Paris on Friday, your feed has probably featured a touching illustration depicting the Eiffel Tower on a peace sign.

Many celebrities, including Miranda Lambert, Amber Rose, Lauren Conrad, Fergie, Chris Rock, Bethenny Frankel John Legend, One Direction's Harry Styles and the cast of NBC's Undateable have shared the pic, which was created by Jean Jullien, a French graphic designer currently living in London, who posted it on Instagram.

"Peace for Paris," he wrote.

Instagram's official Instagram account also posted the image and credited Jullien. More than 1.3 million people have liked it.

A weekly live show of the NBC sitcom Undateable set to air on Friday was postponed in wake of the attacks. Cast member and comic Chris D'Elia posted on his Instagram page a photo showing himself and his co-stars holding up printed photos of Jullien's "Peace for Paris" illustration.

"Out of respect for the victims in Paris we won't be doing a live show tonight. It's doesn't feel right," he wrote. "Love for all. (Artwork by @jean_jullien)"

The image has gone viral, as have the hashtags #PrayforParis, which Lambert and Fergie used, and #JeSuisParis, a take on "Je Suis Charlie," a slogan people used in January to express support for freedom of speech and respect for the 12 victims killed at the offices of the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

At least 129 people were killed on Friday in the Paris area in six attacks, for which the terrorist group ISIS has claimed responsibility. The deadliest occurred at a concert hall where American band Eagles of Death Metal was playing. The band, whose musicians were not harmed, has canceled the remainder of its tour.
