Julie Delporte (born in 1983) is a French-Canadian cartoonist and illustrator. She lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1][2]
Delporte immigrated to Montreal from Saint-Malo, France, in 2005.[3] She had studied journalism in France because of her love of writing, but did not enjoy being a journalist. Delporte had not attended art school or had family role-models for living and working as an artist, and it was not until she moved to Montreal that she found what she describes as "the social and economic possibility to become an artist."[4] In 2011, Delporte was a fellow at the Center for Cartoon Studies.
Delporte is one of the organizers of Montreal's annual "48 Heures" comics festival. Beginning in 2007 she co-hosted a radio show on comics, Dans ta bulle!, which ran for a decade.[5] In 2017 she founded Tristesse magazine with Rosalie Lavoie, Catherine Ocelot, Marie Saur, and David Turgeon.[6]
