Jean-Michel Tixier
Passionate about comics and illustration since childhood, he is entirely self-taught. He began his career illustrating record covers for his friends’ music label, Record Makers, before his work attracted the attention of major labels and major publications. Jean-Michel Tixier draws inspiration for his irreverent universe from his favourite French, Belgian and Dutch illustrators (Joost Swarte, Serge Clerc, Hergé, Chaland…). With his style, solid colours and large cast of characters, his work undoubtedly belongs to the light line movement.

"Working on this project allowed me to look more closely at my family, the people I have around me every day. I focused on my father, my nephews and on my daughter, who is a teenager. They are the ones who allowed me to give a face and habits to the various characters of the Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, X, Millennial, Z generations. And then, as always, it was a strong inspiration to remember my family home, its spaces, rooms and furniture."
