Biography
Who is "Yack"?
Jacques Bossé was born in the Nantes region. His main job is as a fire-fighter.
He also devotes some of his time to another of his passions: illustration. He has become known under the pseudonym “Yack”.
Yack is a friendly personality, known for his gaiety and enthusiasm: “My work with Nouvelles Images is whizzo, a bit yahoooooooooooo and most of all a lot of fun!”
Characters and techniques
An admirer of ZEP, Gotlib and the character of Zorro, Yack has created a whole gallery of amusing characters: there’s the famous cow Loulai, of course, but also sheep, dogs, cats and pigs....and of course the little girl Sunsun.
Yack draws with a pencil and sometimes uses a graphic paint-box to colour his drawings.
Projects
Yack is planning to bring out a comic-strip and is currently working on it. Look out for his cookery book which is due to come out in September 2009.
