Jim Jourdane

About me : I’m French, living in the city of Angouleme. I’m a storyboard artist and animator for TV series – when I don’t work on books and only part-time illustrator: I didn’t make a lot of books before Fieldwork Fail except a few commissions for Milan magazines and a small illustrated booklet, “Les Loups Blancs” (Danger Public, 2008). I’m now full-time on books projects.

Medias

  • BBC, Interview series with the scientists featured on the book
  • Fatherly
    “Fieldwork Fail: The Messy Side of Science! is a colorful book of illustrations that celebrates the funniest of other people’s screw-ups; specifically scientists on the job.” Dave Baldwin
  • Visual News
    “Why the series resonates with both scientists and the larger population may come down to the simple fact that it’s comforting to know that we all make mistakes—no matter our field. Ultimately, though, Jourdane sees them as a way to bring science into our everyday lives.” Katy French
  • Mongabay
    “You hear a lot about new and important discoveries scientists make in the field, but you don’t often hear about their failures. A new book aims to change that — but with the best of intentions.”  Mike Gaworecki
  • Words from the Wild
    “Who doesn’t love a story in which the joke is on the main protagonist? And, boy, do some scientists get into the weirdest, most fascinating scrapes!” Jessica Groenendijk
