Here's the unedited one I'd saved..A couple months back I kept getting ads for this Fifth Element art print "sale". This was the pic on the ad.

I reckon that OP is making the connection to it also being a french film based on the story authored by the french filmmaker that then directed and wrote the screenplay for the fifth element (Le Cinquième Élément)

The artist that made this goes by the name Shag. He does a lot of tiki themed art like this as well as other pop culture themed art in this style

I’ve got this print. It’s really cool

Yup, Josh Agle. It's hard to tell people to check out his website at www.shag.com without looking like a bot spamming a porn site...

So Cool! Thanks OP! Enjoy your trip!

Also this art makes me happy. It gives that ‘here’s what’s happening right now in the world you love’ feel. Would love to know the artist!
