Clément Baloup — Drawing the Real
The professional home of a French comic-book author, illustrator, travel sketcher, and teacher working across documentary comics, memory, migration, and reportage.
Field notes
The bibliography is arranged as a working record rather than a simple gallery, covering documentary comics, historical fiction, literary adaptation, travel writing, and graphic novels. The site also turns the author’s methods into public programming: workshops teach visual narration, while talks address reportage, migration, Vietnamese memories, travel, and drawing. Its biography places the practice between Marseille, Angoulême, Hanoï, and fieldwork across several regions, with awards and press links attached to selected books.
