After completing extensive film studies, François Donatien returned to his first passion: comics. He maintained a blog for several years. In 2014, he completed Minimax, an album first self-published, then relaunched by Nouvelle adresse, and which won the independent Bédélys prize. He then published Les inconvénients de la félicité and is now working on his third album. He loves stories about small things, usually set in the Montreal neighborhood he's always called home. When he's not drawing comics, he sketches the protagonists of the 45 book projects in his head.
