1. What's your story? Where are you from?

I’m a French independent illustrator and graphic designer based on Nantes ( France).

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I have graphic work. Sometimes I am close to the BD, I create characters and short stories. Sometimes, my work focuses more on the general composition and balance between shapes and colors. Maybe that my feature is the wood, I make a lot of drawing with wood. I like it.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

Drawing because it's a more accessible medium, you need a paper and pencil. I like to do something else too but I'm basically drawing. But he most important is the idea, after, you chose the medium that suits you.

I draw some sketches in my notebook until I am satisfied. After I work on clean paper or on software. When I am tired of one of them I pass to the other.

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

Gustave Doré, (censored) work! Robert Crumb makes green with envy with how he draws, KRSN a French director artistic and illustrator, Marino Pascual and many others. When you are an artist, everything is an inspiration, it all depends on the mood.

I've studied in an applied art school then in a faculty of art, at last, I’ve studied in a school of fine Art at Le Mans.
