Hello everyone, and welcome to my Malt page experienced illustrator, flexible, fast and eclectic!

After studying Art at Paris VIII University and Bastille, I began my career as an illustrator in 1985.

I met caricaturist Bernar (Ruquier, Charlie...) who trained me in press caricature. I joined the newspaper "L'Os à Moelle" directed by Jacques Pessis as a press cartoonist.

I then joined Jacques Lerouge's workshop where I learned my trade as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. I then went to Angoulême for several comic strip training courses with, among others, Mézière and Cauvin.

My first publications were humor comic strips for specialized magazines such as "L'Os à Moelle" by Pierre Dac, "Censuré" or "Boulevard du rire" where I met Tabary. In 1986, I received the "Bronze Laurels" for comic strips from Uderzo.

For the past 35 years, I have worked in many areas of visual communication, where I have successively been a designer, cartoonist and roughman in advertising, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator (for Disney, AB production, among others), a press cartoonist, a comic strip author and cartoonist (6 commissioned albums to my name), an art director in advertising (BBDO), a creative director in a direct marketing agency, a designer in a POS (point of sale advertising) creation agency, a regular illustrator for Mc Donald; mascot creator, designer and producer of T-shirts and postcards (Editor).

In 2025/2026, I created a comic strip album "Tarzan de l'Alta Rocca" published by Corsicacomix, released in the summer of 2026.
