Born in 1969, Paris, FRANCE, Stan Manoukian is an illustrator working since many years in the comic book industry in France and U.S and as a designer and story boarder for movies and commercials.

In 2006 he start to draw "A monster a day" as an exercise to develop his own creature world and the project become bigger and bigger. Impassioned by old books, dictionaries and old engraved plates and paintings, discovered through his father passion, he likes to represent his creatures with the manners of the old encyclopedias, by indexing them, classifying them and describing them. Now, few year later, like a cryptozoologist discovering a new universe, he's trying (carefully) to represent them in their natural environment, complete with habitat, other existing species, predators and how they interact with one another.
