Michel Aubin is a scenic artist, a puppeteer and an actor who participated in the creation and the broadcasting of many theatrical productions for children and in the film shouting of a few movies and television series. He also created a great number of workshop seminars for all ages. He is a part time photographer as well. He is the author, illustrator and graphic designer of ten or more children’s books, quite often in association with Hélène Desputeaux. He also wrote many school book texts.

But most importantly, since 1983, Michel Aubin established the graphic design of almost all of Hélène Desputeaux’s books. By overseeing the graphic environment in which Hélène Desputeaux’s little world evolved, he set, with her and for her, the desputeaux + aubin graphic signature, the same one we find in Caillou. This signature was interrupted during the proceedings he went through with Hélène Desputeaux

In participating in 2006 in the birth of an autonomous artistic production space with his life and creative partner Hélène Desputeaux, he now becomes a producer! But, he will produce his own dreams and those of Hélène Desputeaux! The name of this production house is, of course, desputeaux + aubin !

After a few years studying philosophy (Laval University), Michel completed a bachelor’s degree in graphic design at University of Quebec at Montréal in 1984.
