Bio
After overcoming a distressing initial stage of apparently psychomotor incompetency, one day acquires enough prehensile strenght to hold a pencil and that seals a fateful destiny as a draftsman, pushing him away from more edifying and lucrative activities such as soccer player or Treasury inspector.
Ever since (Oh, damned opposable thumb!) his drawing obsession led him to publish five solo books, work in various animation films, collaborate in multiple publications and zines and even win some awards and travel some places.
