The Ink Drinker, written by Eric Sanvoisin / Nathan publishing, Paris / Age 6+ / 2011-2021, 9 titles / Art Direction: Ségolène Even
The Ink Drinker is a book series about a little boy who becomes a vampire and can only subsist by sucking up the ink in books.
In 2011, Nathan offered me the opportunity to illustrate this series, initially illustrated by the brilliant Martin Matje. He had illustrated 4 titles, I had to take up the characters and the graphic environment he had installed, and draw it my way.
