His vigorous stroke is reinforced by the sombre colour scheme that has become his trademark. This work, whose glaucous ambiences are perfectly suited to a script of such rare ferocity, would establish de Crécy as a creator of unusual characters. He then worked for two years in the Montreuil Disney studios and illustrated Foligatto, a comic book based on a script by Alexios Tjoyas (Humanoïdes Associés, 1991).Ĭhomet would be his collaborator in composing the Léon la Came trilogy for the magazine A SUIVRE and Éditions Casterman (Léon la Came, 1995 Laid, pauvre et malade, 1997 Priez pour nous, 1998), the second volume of which was awarded the Alph’Art for best cartoon album at the 1997 Festival d’Angoulême. Receiving his diploma in 1987, he produced with his friend, the scriptwriter Sylvain Chomet, an adaptation of one of Victor Hugo’s works for the cities of Angoulême and Ruçager (Bug Jargal, Éditions Ruçager, 1989). Born 29 September 1966 in Lyon, Nicolas de Crécy is a perfect example of what the Angoulême school of fine art can produce: an artist fascinated by the diverse modern fields of illustration and graphism.
