Iris Boudreau

  • Author

Since moving to Montreal in 2007, Iris has devoted herself mainly to comics, illustration, and writing. She began with rather introspective and autobiographical comics, in the form of blogs and zines, before turning to fiction. Interested in the human condition, her favorite themes are everyday life, friendship, marginality, anxiety, and the discomforts created by social interactions. Most of the time, she treats these themes with humor and derision, but always tries to maintain kindness and sensitivity as well. Her books are aimed at both young and old. Since 2015, she has been the creator of the Les autres series published monthly in the teen magazine Curium.

Alongside all this, she also worked on the direction and scripting of the animated webseries The Great List of Everything (season 1, 2019 and season 2, 2022), a co-production of La Pastèque and the NFB, in collaboration with Télé-Québec.
