About The Author
Lucie Arnoux
Lucie Arnoux is a French artist living in London. She started drawing comics at 14, when she joined the Studio Gottferdom. First published at 17 in Lanfeust Magazine, she produced monthly autobiographical stories in its pages for six years. She studied in Paris before finally moving to the UK. She graduated from Kingston University in Illustration and Animation, and has settled in London for good.
A compulsive sketcher, Lucie has tried her hands at all sorts of painterly things, including designing theatre backdrops and prop painting with Olivier award-winning designer Tim Bird, live sketching as artist-in-residence for Sidmouth Folkweek, Womad and the Rose Theatre, and illustrating comics and children’s books published internationally.
She is at present working on various projects, and she hopes the mad creative juggling never stops.
