About THE CREATORS

Frédéric Brrémaud, Writer

Growing up on a farm in the west of France instilled Frédéric with a love for nature, and an immediate appreciation for Life and Death. His interest in storytelling was let loose at the Center Nationale de Bande Desinnee in Angouleme, leading to a career writing and creating numerous series, spanning many genres, from historical adventures to classical novel adaptations to westerns to vampires stories, all published with numerous artists and publishers. As much as he likes to play in different genres, however, he will always return to tell more animal stories.

Federico Bertolucci, Artist

Federico began illustrating at the College of Arts in Lucca, Italy, then the Accademia della bella Arti in Carrara, before being accepted into the Disney Studio in Milan in 1998. Having illustrated several comics based on popular animated characters, including The Flintstones and Lilo & Stitch, he co-developed “Richard Coeur de Lion” (Richard Lionheart) with Brremaud, which led to continued collaboration together, next on “Racambole”, then the LOVE series. He too will always return to tell more animal stories.

Federico recently received a 2016 Eisner Award nomination for his work on the LOVE series in the category “Best Painter/Multimedia Artist”.
