Anatole Zangs

Anatole Zangs was born in Paris in 1990 and grew up in Normandy, surrounded by cows, apples and cider. As a child, his desire to dance, play music and draw prevailed over his inclination to listen to lessons in class. So Anatole became a child ballet student and subsequently a professional dancer. He only really reverted to drawing when he was about 20. His desire to start doodling again began when he hung out with his father in natural wine exhibitions. With no formal training, he began illustrating labels, bar, restaurant and exhibition logos for the world of natural wine. Anatole still gets as much fun as ever out of thinking up puns and being creative.
