BIO
FOLLY-NOTSRON Kanyi Adrien Magloire a.k.a “KanAd” is a Togolese cartoonist, illustrator, and graphic designer. He participated in several training workshops in illustration of children’s books and comics. Thus in 2003, he published two first children’s books at Editions Harmattan in France. Also in the field of children’s books, he publishes two issues of the children’s album “Ziguidi” which has been successful with young people and toddlers. But it is in the world of comics that he is most prolific: to date, he is the Togolese comedian who published the large number of comics. Most of his productions retrace little-known stories from the African continent, but more often they are works of awareness that call for a change in behavior. Accustomed to major international book and comic book fairs and festivals, he won several prizes and scholarships such as the prize for the best comic strip at the Ouagadougou International Comic Book Festival. In 2014, he received an artist residency in the city of La Rochelle in France, a residence subsidized by the French Institute. During the same year, he obtained a creation grant from the Center National du Livre de Paris. In 2019, he obtained another residency grant, but this time in Sweden in the artistic city of Malmö. He is comfortable in any comic book style, but specializes a lot in comics for young readers.
