About Stan Manoukian

Stan Manoukian is a French artist known for his works, the vast majority of which depict... monsters. His drawings, created almost exclusively in black and white, along with his linework—which is reminiscent of the Lowblow movement—make him an illustrator with a style that is instantly recognizable.

In 2007, he set himself the challenge of drawing one monster a day. This challenge spanned three years and led to the publication of a collection, Diary of Inhuman Species (Ankama, 2009). Other works have since been published by Glénat and Delcourt. He has also published six books with Caurette.
