Sabrina Tibourtine was born in Paris and is a freelance illustrator, Animator and Designer living in Cologne, Germany. After having studied in Krefeld and London, she discovered her attraction for things which are somehow old, broken, dirty, and rough. She loves doing nothing but eating, sleeping and illustrating for a little or a long while, as far as her family lets her. In 2008 she won the Alternative Mediaprize for an illustration project.
