Sebastian Lörscher was born in 1985 in Paris and grew up near Munich. He is an illustrator and author living in Berlin. His graphic novels have received a host of honours (including the Sondermann prize from the Stiftung Buchkunst) and are in the catalogues of various publishers in Germany and France. Lörscher’s recent work focuses particularly on the medium of illustrated features. He travels to faraway lands with pencils and sketchbook, and captures his impression in drawings, texts and cartoon strips done in situ. His latest project took him to Bangalore in southern India, Haiti in the Caribbean and finally, the wilds of Austria.
