Summary

As long as I can remember, drawing has always been a passion to me.
I began creating my own comic books and characters as a very young boy, grew up as a fantasy illustration and animated movies lover and then discovered computer arts.
Ending classical scientific and programming studies, I entered SupInfoCom 3D animation school. After graduating, I started my carrer as a character designer and lead artist in a videogame studio.
18 years after, I've worked as a freelancer for various clients, from videogames (published by Namco Bandai, Disney, Cartoon Network...) to magazines and books (Milan Presse, Nathan Jeunesse...) or boardgames (Scorpion Masqué), creating concepts, animations, comics and hundreds illustrations... still with the same passion.
Currently living near Paris, France, I work as a concept, 2D artist, and art director, creating fun for mobile games.
