Pascal Moguérou

Pascal Moguérou obtained his baccalaureate with a specialization in art before going on to study literature at university, followed by two years of fine art. He became an illustrator almost by chance, while doing the artwork for a booklet of Breton music for the publishing house Coop Breizh. This first experience proved decisive: his first book, Légendes et contes de Bretagne (Legends and Tales of Brittany), marked the beginning of a body of work entirely devoted to the Fair Folk and the legends of his native land. As much a storyteller as an illustrator, he went on to publish numerous books on korrigans, fairies and creatures of the moor, notably with Au Bord des Continents, for whom he was one of the very first artists. He has also contributed to anthologies such as L’Univers des dragons (The Universe of Dragons) published by Daniel Maghen, as well as Sombres féeries (Dark Fairylands) and Le Fabuleux Abéféedaire farfelu (The Fabulous Wacky Alphabet-of-Faerie) published by Le Lombard. Recognized as one of the artists restoring contemporary fantasy to its former glory, he also shares his expertise through sketchbooks and sketch pads aimed at enthusiasts of drawing fantastical creatures.
