I am a 28 year old Frenchman and an indie comic book artist. As a reader, a viewer or a gamer, I am also interested in every form of pop culture, but I find myself especially drawn to the genres and subgenres of Science Fiction, Dystopia, Post-Apocalyptic fiction and epic/historical fiction. My favorite comic books, movies and games include 100 Bullets, Lazarus, The Long Halloween, every Sergio Leone movie, strategy games from The Creative Assembly and Paradox Interactive.

Over the years, I have developed a passion for the art of comics. I wasn’t really into it before I was 15, and not into drawing before 18. Since I started to draw, I’ve continued to pursue the same goal: to be able to show dynamism, realistic anatomy –it must look correct if you don’t focus too much on it, and epicism. From my point of view, these concepts agree with art from artists such as Jim Lee, David Finch, Jason Fabok, and Frank Frazetta. There are, however, many more artists whose work I enjoy a lot and feel influenced by, although it might be less visible: Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Enrico Marini, Tim Sale, Michael Lark, Siya Oum, John Buscema and many others.
