Biography

Zviane (pen name of Sylvie-Anne Ménard, born in 1983 in Longueuil) is a comics creator (writer and artist) and a musician from Montréal, Quebec.

Biography

A musician since her youth, Zviane earned a baccalaureate in music from Université de Montréal. She teaches music theory.

Through the art group Vestibulles in cégep du Vieux Montréal, her works were noticed by Jimmy Beaulieu, who published them in the collections of publishers Mécanique générale and Colosse. Her web blog was noticed by French creator Boulet, who helped her get better known in Europe. Her work Le point B won a contest earning that book to be published by the Monet Library.

In 2009, she spent six months at the Maison des auteurs in Angoulême.

She publishes several comic works each year.

Zviane combines music and comics. Music is almost always present in her comics.
