About Julie Doucet

Author’s Graphic Novel

Adult

Julie Doucet's comic book series Dirty Plotte changed the landscape of alternative cartooning, offering a frank, funny, and sometimes shocking melange of dreams, diaries, and stories that Entertainment Weekly has called "id with an ink bottle." In 1991, she won the Harvey Award for Best New Talent. Julie Doucet is active in the local arts community of Montreal, and a visitor is just as likely to find her work hanging in a community gallery as in any of the international exhibitions she has taken part in around the world. She is the mind behind many books including Time Zone J, Carpet Sweeper Tales and My New York Diary, and her post-comics artwork includes silkscreened artist's books, text-based collages, and animation films.
