About the Author
LĂ©o Schilling is a French comic book writer born in 1991 in Narbonne, a region rich in vineyards, culture, and storytelling traditions that deeply influenced his creative path. He studied at the Ăcole europĂ©enne supĂ©rieure de l'image in AngoulĂȘme, graduating from the comics program. Alongside his artistic training, he worked extensively with children as an education assistant and youth animator--experiences he considers essential to shaping his narratives. His debut graphic novel, Hana et Taru, illustrated by Motteux, explores themes of friendship, identity, and the wild unpredictability of nature. 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 dessinĂ©e. 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 LĂ©o Schilling, marks his debut in long-form comics.
