Autor

Thomas Mauceri for ten years tried to meet Gil Scott-Heron and accumulated many missed opportunities - he was either in prison or banned from leaving American territory... Paradoxically, the author was the first to learn of his death. On the day of Gill Scott-Heron's funeral, Thomas Mauceri witnessed a surreal scene: Kanye West improvising a concert of rare intensity. In 2000, Thomas Mauceri moved to the United States where he studied cinema. Then he returned to France and obtained his master's degree in Performing Arts. Thomas works as a documentalist and assistant director. Seb Piquet is a French concept artist who has worked for Dreamworks Animation, Paramount, and Netflix among others. He is also a comics author and illustrator, having created his own shorts and projects for French publishers.
