Pourquié Jeff

No matter the genres (offbeat thrillers for publishers Casterman and 6 Pieds sous terre, dark humor for Fluide Glacial, children’s books for Bayard and Actes Sud Junior), Jeff Pourquié makes a kind of poetry, steeped in humanism, from the urban settings in his comics. The last few years have seen him working frequently in nonfiction comics (for La Revue dessinée and Éditions Futuropolis), while also teaching at the École Estienne, a Paris art school. Jeff Pourquié is also a jazz guitarist in the gypsy style.
