Emma & Capucine, Volume 3

French author Jer me Hamon began his professional life in New York as a financial analyst after studying at an American university and at business school. He left the field two years later to travel around the world. Back in France, Hamon strung together a number of jobs in the movies, video games, and television. In parallel, he began to write his first comic book and graphic novel scripts.

In 2008, Hamon met artist Marc Van Straceele and the two would collaborate on “Yokozuna,” a graphic novel on sumo wrestling in Japan. Following that, Hamon worked with artist Antoine Carrion on “Nils,” a saga halfway between Nordic mythology and the works of Miyazaki. He then followed with “Emma & Capucine,” a series for younger readers centered on the worlds of classical dance and hip-hop, and “Mitsuo,” alongside Cedric Babouche.

Lena Sayaphoum was born in Montpellier in 1989. Ever since the beginning, drawing has been at the heart of her life. Finding inspiration in the works of such artists as James Jean, Peter Chan, Craig Mullins, and Dice Tsutsumi, she gradually developed her own style, teaching herself the trade along the way.

After studying 2D and 3D computer graphics, she went to work for a number of different studios, as a concept artist, modeler, texture artist, and posing and shadowing artist. With Grid VFX, she had the chance to work on such projects as “Asterix and Obelix- Mansion of the Gods.”

In parallel with her day jobs, she continued to develop her own creative worlds, sometimes fantasy, sometimes realistic, but always intensely personal. In 2017, together with Jer me Hamon, she went to work on her first comics project, “Emma & Capucine,” linking her passion for drawing and illustration with her love for dance.
