Hana and Taru - Léo Schilling

Motteux: - Motteux is a French illustrator born in 1993 in Normandy, where his love for drawing took root early in childhood. He honed his craft at a comics-focused art school and developed a distinctive style shaped by a wide range of influences, including manga, animation, video games, and traditional bande dessinée. His work often features lush natural environments, which he renders with both precision and emotional depth. Before stepping into the world of graphic novels, Motteux contributed to youth publications like J'aime lire and Image Doc, and worked in visual development for animation and advertising at Mikros Image. Hana et Taru, created with writer Léo Schilling, marks his debut in long-form comics.
