Some more refined works done in the breaks between two comics pages.

When I have little time or I want to fix an idea, I love sketching with bright colors and quick messy strokes.

General Faq

Would you draw something for me?
Poke me anytime about commercial work (mail preferred), private use commissions are available on limited sessions only, announced on socials.
How can I support you?
You can support me on socials for free! Or you can buy my books or offer me a coffee. I don’t have a shop (for now) but sometimes I collab with existing ones - keep your eyes open. I tend to advertise such collabs a lot!
Are your comics available in...?
Normally the French version can be shipped worldwide. For translations or ebooks check the availability on the dedicated sections
Can I use hare your artwork...?
If you run a blog and speak about my art I am probably happy. Less so if you use it to boost the stats of a private profile, especially if I am on the same SM too. Either way, please credit, better if with a link to my sites. If you use it as a reference please credit, it makes the difference between a theft and a compliment. For derived works please ask before: I am not enthusiastic about my art being edited or taken out of context and will pursue unauthorized commercial use.

art faq

Drawing tools?
Mostly working in CSP, with default brushes. PC + Huion Kamvas 22 plus. Sometime Ipad Pro 2020. Traditional art tools are usually stated under the picture.
Are you self taught?
I am not. I attended a 3 years comics class at ACCA academy. I find classes make learning quicker and I follow workshops everytime I can. But the real work you do it on your own, theory takes time to be digested.
How did you get a job?
I went to a portfolio review! Mind you, it took 3 years of poking around. Eventually somebody needed someone like me. And then I kept finding work through friends of friends.
Any advice for a beginner comic artist?
Focus your efforts, the internet and publishing do not necessarily reward the same things. Build a solid portfolio and go to a small event for more chances to be noticed. Different editors like different comics and the effort they might put in your project can vary a lot based on that. You might be better than you think or have flaws you didn't consider: don't wait to feel "perfect" to show your work, but stay open to unexpected critiques. Also, good luck!
