In the world of French ?bande dessin?e?, Joann Sfar is a comic artist and comic book creator who works just like a play writer: his work evidently expresses an excellent story telling; his graphic art is unique; his characters have personalities but retain the freshness of the drawing moment, including the inspiration to draw ?beautiful pictures?.

Joann Sfar works with Gallimard Publishing Group and he is now busy with two movie production projects: a portrayal of life of Serge Gainsbourg, a famous singer and composer, and the animation for  his famous title Chat du Rabbin.
