Caurette’s history<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00c9ditions Caurette were founded in 2016 by Jean-Christophe Caurette, who lacked imagination and did not find a better name!<\/span><\/p>\n

At Caurette, we mainly publish art books<\/strong> from great international illustrators.\u00a0 We also publish comic books collections<\/strong> for adults and children, including news releases, reprints and translation. <\/span>\u00a0Sometimes we bring out deluxe editions<\/strong> by authors with whom we have a special relationship.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, to summarize, we publish a wide variety of illustration and drawing-related works,<\/strong> but always stuff we like! Besides, we import (sometimes exclusively) many art books for our online shop.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c9ditions Caurette employs 14 people (in 2024) and generates 2 million euros in sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Born in 1970, Jean-Christophe grew up reading Ast\u00e9rix, Tintin, Lucky Luke and Gaston Lagaffe. Also with Les Oiseaux du Ma\u00eetre from Christin and M\u00e9zi\u00e8res, but thats’ another story to tell.
\nAfter studying trade, he worked for two years for Microsoft, then worked for 20 years as a director of corporate films.<\/p>\n

In 2012, he meets the Korean illustrator Kim Jung Gi and “accidentally” becomes his agent, before starting his own publishing house 4 years later.<\/p>\n

He loves chestnut cream, hiking, Mercurey, Burma and making books.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Artificial intelligence<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Editions Caurette does not publish ANY books produced, even partially, using generative AI software.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2023, this clause is a major part of our contracts with our artists.
\n<\/span>Behind each and every one of our books, there are real people. We are certain that the art we love and publish cannot be created by a machine or a software. Creation is a process that results from the combination of skills, urges, desire and maturation… Things that the machine will never know to create.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

The artists<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Before even working on projects, we work first and foremost with artists. Each book starts with a meeting, even if sometimes a few years pass between the first evocation of the project and its materialization on paper. Each book is unique, not only for its content but also because we try to create an object that really reflects the art and the artist within the book.<\/p>\n

Quality<\/span><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

We publish very few books per year because we’d rather take the time to carefully work on our projects, and polish even the tiniest details. Our aim is for our books to stand out from the crowd, both in terms of content and presentation. For some books, especially the deluxe editions, we take the time check every book to make sure they offer the quality we want. Then each book is packed in a custom-made cardboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if despite our efforts to make things perfect, you have an issue with the delivery, we are available by email or by phone (yes, we answer the phone! \ud83d\ude42 ). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
