Cyril Pedrosa

Cyril Pedrosa studied at the Gobelins animation design, a Parisian establishment dedicated to careers in the moving image. He worked on Disney animated feature films such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules. He then met writer David Chauvel, inspiring him to turn to comics. A "rising star" in graphic storytelling, his unique work is a product of his animation background combined with his literary influences of Borges, Marquez and Tolkien. His moving journal of going back to his family roots, Portugal, is a bestseller.
