Ewen Gur

Ewen Gur is a French artist with German roots, who grew up in the surroundings of Tours (Indre-et-Loire, France), a region well-known for its castles and its “art de vivre”. He started drawing at a very early age, mostly inspired by video games and French comics from the likes of Francis le Blaireau (Claire & Jake), Gai-Luron, and La Rubrique-à-brac (Marcel Gotlib) or Gaston Lagaffe (Franquin). As far as he can remember, he was always attracted by soft outlines and storytelling.
As a teenager, Ewen attended comics master classes with local artists for several years, improving his technique and learning from them. He contributed to a local magazine, «Dynamite comics». At school he even gave little master classes to his friends, for fun. After graduating in art, Ewen spent some more years studying and trying different mediums of expression, from commercial design to jazz music, searching for new fields to explore. Ewen always felt a need to do his own thing, to be an artist, but he didn’t settle on one specific medium. He played in various rock bands as a bass player at night, and did the posters and flyers for their gigs during the day. As a former jazz and rock musician, he knew how to sketch the everyday life of a band.
