BLEXBOLEX

Blexbolex (whose real name is Bernard Granger) is a French comics artist and illustrator. Born Bernard Granger in Douai, he studied screen printing at the School of Fine Arts in Angoulême. His first works were self-published, and later he contributed to Popo Color, Fusée, and Ferraille. His highly stylized, ligne claire illustration gradually gained an audience. In Germany, he directed an art studio at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee and he also worked regularly with a number of editors, including Thierry Magnier, Pipifax, United Dead Artists, Les Requins-Marteaux, and Cornélius. Blexbolex has contributed to the American publication The Ganzfeld.

In 2009, he received a prize for “Best Book Design of the World” for his L'Imagier des gens (2008) at the Book Fair of Leipzig.
