Diane Obomsawin, also known as Obom, is a comic book artist and animator based in Montreal. She publishes her comics through the poetry publisher L'Oie de Cravan and, in English, through Drawn & Quarterly. She has directed several animated films as an independent filmmaker and eight auteur works in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada. Over the years, Diane Obomsawin has developed a narrative style all her own, characterised by humour, humanity and gravity, which frequently incorporates autobiographical elements. Since 2012, she has also been working in installation art, which allows her to anchor her myths and dreamlike visions in time and space in a different way.
