A little bit masochist, I've always been passionate by news and I spend most of my time make them suffered with my nasty draws that I try to sell to anyone.
Except that, I am also caricaturist (I animate your weedings, baptisms, circumcisions, or company parties), live drawer and publish with my friends of the group Les Mâles à Bar (in particular Djony and Dieu) some dark humour and themes albums.
