Jérémie Almanza is a Spanish-French illustrator and cartoonist known for the “Eco trilogy,” “Au chant des grenouilles,” “Les Royaumes Muets” and many other books. His drawing style is luxuriant and poetic. The atmospheres are intriguing and contrasting. It makes you want to dive into one of his illustrations and explore every nook and cranny! –Madalina on SubStack

Yeah, no kidding about his art, huh? I’ll have to see if I can grab something of his, in future.

I highly recommend checking out his interview, as at the very least it contains lots more cool art samples:
