  ALFRED

  Born in 1976, ALFRED came into the world with a fixed idea: to tell stories in drawings. Completely self-taught, he began publishing with Éditions Delcourt in 1997, but it was in 2000 that David Chauvel suggested he explore new graphic and narrative directions with Octave , a children series. In 2004, ALFRED adapted Roland Topor's novel Café panique, fulfilling an old dream of his. A year later, with Olivier Ka, he produced Pourquoi j'ai tué Pierre, a comic strip that won the Prix du Public and Prix Essentiel at Angoulême in 2007.

  ALFRED is not only a musician and actor, but also a bit of an adventurer, so he moved to Venice for three years. It's undoubtedly there that he found the inspiration for Come Prima, which received the prestigious Fauve d'Or at the 2014 Angoulême International Comics Festival.

  ALFRED is also the author (among others) of Maltempo, Senso, Castelmaure and Le Désespoir du singe.

  BATTAGLIA Dino

  Dino Battaglia (1925 – 1983) first entered the comic book profession in 1946 co-founding and producing work for the Italian magazine Asso di Picche, where he drew some pages of the Junglemen series. Here he worked with other Venetian artists, among them Hugo Pratt and Alberto Ongaro. He was not attached to one character in particular and thus drew a lot of different stories in different styles. The magazine Sgt. Kirk published an adaptation of Moby Dick, a work that marked Battaglia's artistic maturity: his drawings achieved the unique, distinctive style that characterised all his later productions. From then on, Battaglia focused on adaptations rather than on original series: he was particularly interested in classic novelists like Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Stevenson, Maupassant and Hoffmann. His way of writing and his drawing style became a reference for a lot of artists. In 1982 he created his only original series, L'Ispettore Coke (Inspector Coke). Only two album publications were completed before the work was interrupted by Battaglia's unexpected death in 1983.

  Franklin Booth (July 8, 1874 – August 25, 1948) was a brilliant American artist known for his detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. He had a unique illustration style based upon his early recreation of wood engraving illustrations with pen and ink.

He continued sketching and illustrating for books, magazines and several companies He was one of the first modern ex-libris designers in the United States.

With calculated placement and spacing of pen lines, Booth’s drawings encompass ranges of tonal value and density. Even in his late career, Booth’s imagination remained seemingly ingrained with the dreamlike scenery of rural Indiana, which he said captivated him with its “indescribable haze, its luminous silence, its spiritual suggestiveness.”

  Booth cofounded the Phoenix Art Institute in New York and taught there between 1925 and 1946. IFranklin, noted for his exceptional line-drawing style and idealistic vision of art as “truth and beauty,” was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1983.

  CEVER

  Cosmopolitan, born in Brussels in 1959, of French-Swiss nationality, I am a biologist by training and self-taught in drawing and comics. I started as a freelance cartoonist during my biology studies. In the early 1980s, the discovery of the great masters of comics and the meeting of the new generation led me to try my luck in this field while leading a scientific career in parallel. This career, and the associated travels, took over and occupied me until the 2010's, period during which the birth of my children led me to settle down. In 2018, my daughter Swann, left a book lying around whose title caught my eye: "The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly". I read it in less than an hour and the magic happened. I "saw" this book in comics. Not knowing the author, Luis Sepulveda, nor his reputation, I said to myself that it was the occasion to start drawing again. Some research on the internet allowed me to contact Luis who, after seeing some sketches, accepted that I adapt his book. The unfailing help and support of Anne-Marie Métailié, the advice of Louis-Antoine Dujardin and the welcome of Jean-Christophe Caurette did the rest...

She is an artist who, with stunning alacrity, reveals the fleeting personalities of the normally unseen. Creating a ‘sense of wonder’ is at the core of her work. Both in commissioned work as in non-commissioned work, storytelling is an essential part. As an artist, she strives to lure in the spectator, to make them feel a connection to the work and open a gateway to their imagination to ignite it even further. Drawing inspiration from European folklore, mythology, fairytales, ghost stories and anything from tombstones, Victorian photography to popular movies and music."

  Well stated indeed!

  DERIB Claude

  Since the age of eleven, Claude De Ribaupierre (Derib) has drawn the human body and its skeleton structure. Therefore, he was soon familiar with the human anatomy. After having a job as a horseback riding instructor, Derib went to Brussels to start a career in comics. He got a job at Studio Peyo, where he worked on several stories with 'Les Schtroumpfs' ('The Smurfs'), that were published in Spirou. He also produced some 'Belles Histoires de l'Oncle Paul', as well as his first realistic series, 'Arnoud de Casteloup' (1966).

  In 1967, he teamed up with Maurice Rosy to start the series about the talking dog 'Attila' in Spirou. That same year, he created the joking owl 'Pyhagore' with Job in Le Crapaud à Lunettes. For that same magazine, Derib and Job also created the little Indian 'Yakari', Derib's first hit series. From 1978, 'Yakari' appeared in Tintin. Derib had joined that magazine in 1970, when he began making western comics written by Michel Greg, such as 'Go West'. Derib subsequently created the famous 'Buddy Longway' series on his own in 1972, which he continued until 1987, and then restarted in 2002. 'Buddy Longway' was unique when it first appeared. Derib let his hero age, and have emotions, doubts and flaws, which was unusual at the time in European comics.

  In addition to Tintin, Derib collaborated on Achille Tallon magazine, where he drew 'Les Ahlalàààs' (text by Greg). In 1981 appeared 'Celui-qui-est-né-deux-fois' ('He who was born twice'), a western that can be considered Derib's masterpiece.

  In the 1980s, Derib began making more substantial and socially-motivated comics. In 1981, he created 'Jo', the first comic book on AIDS ever published.

  Best known for his humanistic comics and his several western projects, Derib stands as one of the major artists of European comics.

  GEORGIEV "Fuelstains"...

  Nikolay Georgiev is a digital and traditional artist, born and raised in the southern town of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. From a young age, he clearly presented a strong interest in imaginative art, fantastical worlds, comics, animation and pop culture. He would draw on walls, and blame it on ghosts when caught, watch TMNT and Transformers cartoons on TV, read superhero comics and play with action figures, all of which left a strong impression during childhood.

  Concept art, games, and the artistic community surrounding those proved to be an amazing source of inspiration and motivation, leading to a deep dive into digital painting, concept design, and illustration. Later on, these same artistic communities and fields of art rekindled Nikolay’s passion for traditional drawing and sketching. This led to purposeful illustrating, and combined with the passion for sci-fi and robots gave birth to Fuelstains.

  Meeting with the SuperAni team in 2018, and watching Kim Jung Gi draw served as a huge boost of motivation and inspiration to Nikolay. That event, and joining SuperAni in 2019 are easily marked as the two events leading to the conception of this book.

  HANSON Dian

  Dian Hanson, die Königin des Versauten, gilt als die intellektuellste Pornografin Amerikas. Sie ist Herausgeberin von Pornozeitschriften, Historikerin und Gelegenheitsmodel, ihre publizistische Karriere begann, als sie in den 1970ern das Hardcore-Magazin Puritan mitbegründete. Danach arbeitete sie u. a. für Männermagazine wie Partner, OUI, Adult Cinema Review, Outlaw Biker und Big Butt. Bekannt wurde sie jedoch vor allem als Herausgeberin der Sex-Fetisch-Zeitschriften Juggs und Leg Show von 1987 bis 2001. Seit 2001 hat Dian Hanson den Posten des Sexy Book Editors bei TASCHEN inne und überwacht die Produktion sämtlicher erotischer Titel des TASCHEN-Programms. Zu ihren über 60 Publikationen gehören u. a. The Art of Pin-up und Psychedelic Sex.
  
  Hansons positive Haltung zu Sex färbte immer auch auf ihre Arbeit ab – von den frühen Hardcore-Porno-Tagen bis zur heutigen Position als Herausgeberin von TASCHENs Erotika-Reihe. Sie hat ein Auge für Akt- und erotische Fotografie vom Feinsten; zudem ist sie eine großartige Autorin, die kluge und anregende Essays über die Geschichte der Sexualität und das menschliche Verlangen nach Nacktbildern, Fetisch und Pornografie schreibt. Unter ihren Sexy Books für TASCHEN befinden sich Titel über die Arbeiten von Naomi Harris, Terry Richardson, Vanessa del Rio, Robert Crumb, Gil Elvgren, Eric Stanton, Elmer Batters, Ed Fox und Richard Kern.
  
  Hansons Erfolg liegt in ihrem Verständnis für menschliche Bedürfnisse begründet, die sie nicht zuletzt aus der Korrespondenz mit den Lesern diverser Sexmagazine kennen lernte. Deren Fantasien überträgt sie in Bilder und Texte. Zu ihrer beeindruckenden Publikationsliste gehören auch Anthologien schwuler Kunst und Fotografie von Bob Mizer, George Quaintance und Tom of Finland. Ihre größte Errungenschaft bis dato ist wahrscheinlich die TASCHEN-Buchreihe Big Book of…, die die allerbesten (und größten) Brüste, Schwänze, Mösen und Ärsche kompiliert.

  Quotation:

  "Illustrating Tolkien means treading warily, dipping one's brush in shadow and rinsing them in light. Battle and balance, down the impossible path between the clear and the obscure."― John Howe on painting Middle-earth.

  HOEKSTRA Redmer

  Redmer Hoekstra (1982) graduated from the Art Academy in Zwolle as a visual artist and illustrator in 2009. “I’ve always loved alienation and fantasizing, daydreaming. As a child I had all kinds of theories about how the world worked. At the Academy I was able to rediscover this and process this in to my work. How things work is a fascination of mine and in many drawings you can find this. I open up appliances and objects and freely change what is inside. Often a subject gets a completely different feeling or meaning. I play with form, meaning and function, while new combinations arise. Often surprising, strange and funny but also with a strange kind of logic, a fantastic and surreal world."

  IVANOVA Eliza

  Eliza Ivanova, sometimes better known as Eleeza, is an artist and animation filmmaker currently living in San Franscisco.

  Born in 1987 in Sofia, Bulgaria, Eliza began her artistic journey at the tender age of twelve! She started studying the fundamentals of classical academic drawing with contemporary painter, Garo Muradian, in his studio. Although she initially intended to go to the Bulgarian National Academy of Art, her love for animation kept growing to the point where, at the age of eighteen, she decided to move to the United States and attend summer classes at the California Institute of the Arts! She spent four years studying for a bachelor’s degree in traditional 2D animation, allowing her to expand her artistry.

  KIM Jung Gi

  KIM Jung Gi – let’s clear things out right away: KIM is his family name  – is a Korean artist born in 1975, in Goyang-Si, which is situated in the province of Kyongki-Do (South Korea). He was 19 when he entered the Fine Arts School, where he majored in “Art & Design”. He studied 3 years at Dong-Eui university in Busan, on the South East coast of Korea. This school is famous for its technical courses, but the 23 000 students that studied alongside him may also have provided good material to feed his inspiration! Like every man in Korea, he served in the army for over 2 years. He was in the Special Forces, which allowed him to memorize an amazing number of vehicles and weapons.

  Funny Funny, KIM Jung Gi’s first publication, was published in the magazine Young Jump. Several short stories and a few exhibitions later, KIM Jung Gi –or KJG for short– started to teach manwha (Korean comic book) in universities and private schools.

  Between 2008 and 2010, he drew the 6 volumes of TLT, Tiger the Long Tail, which was written by Seung-Jin PARK. This story first existed as a ‘webtoon’ – an online comic, which explains the unusual composition of the pages. TLT was later published in printed form by CNC Revolution. KIM Jung Gi went on to illustrate 2 novels written by the French author Bernard WERBER : “Paradise” (in 2010) and “Third Humanity” (2013).

  The work for which KJG is now world-famous are his sketchbooks, of which he has published 6, which came out in 2007, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2018 respectively. These, when gathered together, contain nearly 3500 pages full of drawings. In 2017, he also united his astonishing talent with the world renowned Japanese artist, KATSUYA Terada, publishing a spectacular sketchbook that shows off their mutual giant talents.

  He has twice collaborated with the famous French comic writer, Jean-David Morvan; once for SpyGames, (published in 2014 by les Editions Glénat) and most recently illustrating McCurry, NYC, 9/11, published in 2016 by les Editions Dupuis for the French version, and by Caurette Editions for the English version. McCurry, NYC, 9/11,  is the first published biography of  the world famous photographer and journalist  Steve McCURRY –  his work includes the now iconic National Geographic cover of the Afghan Girl with the captivating green eyes – as he witnessed the  unforgettable scenes of 9/11 unfold before him.
  He has also worked with several video game companies and collaborated on various comics in the USA (Flash, Civil War II …) or Europe (Kiliwatch, Caurette Editions) as cover artist.

  KJG has displayed his work in many countries, galleries (Maghen in Paris, Scott Eder in New York, Murakami Takashi’s ‘GEISEI x infinity in Japan…) and museums (Penang, Malaysia). He is in the Guinness World Records, in the Illustration category under “Longest drawing by an individual”, a record he broke doing Fisheye art!

  Nowadays, when he isn’t managing AniChanga, his drawing school in Seoul, or working for Korean advertising companies, he travels around the world for comic festivals, live drawing shows, to meet his fans and find inspiration!

  LANDERMAN Daniel

  Daniel Landerman about himself

  "I have always had a love for sketches. I’d be lying if I said some of that didn’t stem from impatience, but it’s also the freshness of the marks and the artist’s hand that is so evident in the choices. What to show, what to hide and what to imply just enough to let the viewer’s imagination find its own path. That’s what has always fascinated me. Even with artists whose finished work I love, I make an effort to seek out their sketches and doodles. Insights into how they solve problems and build worlds. [...] And so I hope you enjoy the little journeys and the epic adventures penciled and inked and painted within this collection. And I hope they might inspire you to seek adventures of your own."

  MARTIN Jacques

  Born in Strasbourg in 1921, Jacques MARTIN discovered comic strips at a very early age through the albums of Buster Brown. It was on the back of these pages that he made his first drawings, most of which depicted aeroplanes (his father was an aviator). This passion for drawing gave rise to an immoderate taste for history. After the war and until 1948, he alternated series with Lamar, l'homme invisible, Œil de Perdrix, Le secret du Calumet, Le Hibou gris, La Cité fantastique... While continuing his contributions to Bravo and Story, Jacques Martin introduced the character of Alix, Alix l'intrépide, in the Journal de Tintin, to appear in the 7 to 77 year-olds' magazine from September 16, 1948.

  In 1952, he abandoned Alix in favour of a contemporary story featuring a reporter, Lefranc, in La Grande menace. In 1953, Hergé asked him to work in his studios. Jacques Martin's involvement lasted nineteen years, during which he worked on several Tintin stories, without abandoning Alix and Lefranc. Over the following decades, he created new series: Jhen, Arno, Orion, Kéos and Loïs.

  Having built up a team of young illustrators around him, Jacques Martin was keen to get them to continue the series he had created. So there were plenty of projects to come until 21 January 2010, the day on which the author died in Switzerland.

  MELLAN Julie

  Born in Annecy, France in 1988, Julie Mellan has been drawing every day since she could hold a pencil. She spent her childhood fascinated by the animals in the Disney and Beatrix Potter classics; then, at the dawn of adolescence, by the characters in Blacksad (Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido, published by Dargaud). Her career would undoubtedly be artistic, but between illustration and animated films, her heart swayed...
  After passing her baccalauréat in literature, she studied academic drawing, illustration and animation at the Émile Cohl school in Lyon. When it came to choosing her speciality, she was more attracted by the feel of paper than computer screens, and finally opted for publishing.

  For almost ten years, she has published numerous children's books in France and abroad, notably with Penguin Random House (The Last Rabbit), Lire c'est partir (La Moufle), MK Kids Books (Tizzy Throws a Fizzy) and Fleurus Mame (Les belles histoires de grand-mère).

  Loyal to her brushes and traditional techniques, she loves to use watercolors to depict tender, mischievous animals. Drawing her inspiration from her two little boys, Julie seeks to bring a certain narrative, to suggest an emotion, a trait or an attitude characteristic of childhood in each of her illustrations.

  Back in 2005, I discovered that there were thousands of named angels throughout multiple mythologies. I've been hooked ever since and Angelarium has been a part of my life every single day. Even when I'm not paying attention to it, it's gone out on the internet and had a life of its own. The name of the project has come to define the idea of surreal angelic figures and the fan base around it has inspired me to continue to create new designs for it.

  NEVILLE Mark

  British-born, Kyiv-based artist Mark Neville makes work at the intersection of art and documentary. He creates films, photographs, and books that he often disseminates for free to a target audience to have an impact on social issues.

  In 2020, he sent out 750 complimentary copies of his last book Stop Tanks With Books before the full-blown invasion began, to a target audience of diplomats, politicians, the super-rich, celebrities, and NATO and EU members – as a call to action.  The concept was to weaponise the medium of the photo book with two main aims. The first was to garner international support for Ukraine in its continuing fight for independence, help end Russian aggression in Donbas, and call for the withdrawal of Russia from Crimea. Second was to counteract the wealth of fake news and racist disinformation the Kremlin was generating – material that Western media was often perpetuating and reproducing unchallenged and unchecked – by presenting real portraits of Ukrainians.

  Neville’s work can be found in many museum and private collections, and he has exhibited extensively in venues including: The Victoria & Albert Museum (UK), Tate Britain (UK), The Andy Warhol Museum (USA), The Photographers’ Gallery (UK), The Imperial War Museum (UK), Haus Der Kunst (Germany) and Musée du Jeu de Paume (France).

  Neville was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize (2013), the Aperture Photo Book Award (2017), the Time Magazine Photo Book Award (2017), and The Deutsche Borse Photography Foundation Prize (2020). Stop Tanks With Books was nominated for both the Arles Photo Book Award and the Paris Photo Book Award in 2022.

  Neville has lived in Kyiv since 2020, where he co-founded and now runs the hybrid humanitarian aid and photography project Postcode Ukraine.

She has been making digital art ever since.

  PELLERIN Patrice

  Patrice Pellerin is a French illustrator and comic artist, known for the highly detailed and well-documented artwork of his historical comic L'Épervier (1994). He was also one of the artists of Jean-Michel Charlier's classic pirate comic Barbe-Rouge.

  Pellerin, the son of a French governor, was born in 1955 in Brest, in Brittany. Because of his father's work, young Patrice spent his childhood in over twenty different towns. He eventually settled in the Britton commune Landivisiau, a town that gave him the setting for his future comics. After studying Classical Languages, he graduated in comics and animation from the School of Applied Arts in Reims in 1974. He began his career under the guidance of Pierre Joubert, and even spent several years in this well-known French illustrator's house in Meudon.

  Pellerin initially made illustrations for educational and historical books. These included a series of books about French regions for Ouest-France, novels in the collection 'Signe de Piste' and historical books for Hachette and Ouest-France. It was Jean Giraud (Moebius) who introduced him to veteran comic writer Jean-Michel Charlier, which launched his career as a comic artist. Charlier asked him to take over the pirate comic Barbe-Rouge, that he had created with Victor Hubinon in the late 1950s. Pellerin gave the comic a more modern and realistic look. He worked with Charlier on a cycle about a slave rebellion, while Charlier picked Christian Gaty to continue the more classically oriented storyline he had started with Jijé, who had passed away in 1980.

  With  the historical saga L'Épervier, his masterpiece, Pellerin established himself as a skillful author of historical and naval comics. His wide knowledge of naval history and highly detailed drawings result in historically correct reconstructions of the Britton region of the 18th century. For the representation of ships, he mainly uses the writings of naval historian Jean Boudriot as documentation. Besides Pierre Joubert and Jean Giraud, Pellerin ranks among his influences American artists like Frank Frazetta, Alex Raymond and Hal Foster, and storytellers like Charlier and French novelist Michel Zévaco. In addition to his comics work, Pellerin does illustrations for museums, historians and archaeologists.

  RUAN Jia

  It has been thirty years since I first discovered the world of comics at the age of seven. Drawing has always been my passion, I watched countless movies, animated or not, and played numerous video games, but through it all, I always found solace and joy in drawing.

  I never thought I could become a part of the comic industry, but March 2001, I landed my first job as a game artist. At that time, I felt very lucky to find a job that matched my major, since many classmates of mine went on to work for architectural design firms or advertising agencies.

  Therefore, I cherished this extraordinary opportunity. While advancing my career as a game artist , I was continuing on my drawing journey. I started my career as a 3D character artist, since back then 3D-related fields had better employment opportunities than for drawing and illustrating. However, my passion for drawing was much stronger than for creating 3D art. Then, in 2007, a unique opportunity allowed me to switch my career to that of 2D concept artist. Since then, I never again used 3D software or used photos as references.

  All the works presented in this collection were drawn using digital pens and Photoshop software, but none of them were created using 3D software or by referencing photo materials. I believe no drawing methods are superior or inferior to any other, I simply chose the drawing style that I prefer. I have always appreciated the effect produced by hand drawing, nevertheless the design ideas of 3D art inspired me to make the light sources in my work more realistic. And I still use basic adjustment tools in Photoshop, such as selection and free transform.

  2023 marks my 22nd year in the industry, and this art collection is a testament to my dedication and illustrating journey over the past 22 years, and in Black Dragon Crown I share a collection of illustrations from a series of stories that I created during my free time.

His love of illustration and design was refined from copying his father's industrial design portfolio, and a healthy dose of the work of Syd Mead, Joe Johnston, Nilo Rodis-Jamero, and Ralph McQuarrie. This assured that his career would veer far from a normal path.

  Over the course of twenty years, Lorin has amassed a wealth of experience in pre-production conceptual design and art direction, as well as work in visual effects, previsualization and visual development for animated features, game development, product design, and publication.

  Xaxaxa

  I live in Lille, in the north of France. and worked for 15 years at Ankama as a character designer and art director I am best-known for having designed the heroes of the "Wakfu" animated television series and game, as well as those of the animated film "Dofus, le retour de Julith".

  Today, I'm a freelancer, alternating between design missions for video games and manga-style pin-up illustrations, which I distribute on my Patreon platform and on my social networks. In 2023, I realized my dream of self-publishing my artbook. For the egotistical pleasure of placing it among the hundreds of artbooks that have inspired me, but above all, to share with you my work on a beautiful medium in this digital age.

  A large part of my book is devoted to my pin-ups. Sometimes, they simply show off their curves, but more often than not, I've tried to create a little universe for them, in which they could be the heroine. Inspired by Heroic-fantasy, science fiction, video games and even little slices of life, I have tried to vary the themes while making sure they are both sexy and independent. This is followed by some of the character-design and illustration work I did for Ankama, and for the independent game "Young Souls". The book closes with a few pages of preparatory sketches and other drawings done just for fun. Enjoy!
