Story.
Born.
1983
As a boy renomed
« Homo Sapiens » however I feel
more like a « Neanderthal » man
which remained the most resistant
Born in France, under the rain at Lille. By year of birth, I belong to the economic social group named « the millennials » also known as « the sacrificed generation »
Thanks to my parents, I could be seen as creative-born. I have an artistic mind and I need to express myself freely as much it is still possible
My ultimate goal will be to direct some Films
Trauma.
At 5, everyday, after 6pm in school, I was waiting for my mom to get back home. The monitor forced the kids to watch TV. One of the TV shows was the Original Horror series entitled “V” that is the best speaking about the RESISTANCE
Beginning?
1999
In 98, I wanted to mix music as a DJ. However I have never success to afford those expansive vinyls & real decks therefore in 99 I practised an other activity related to HIP-HOP but more essentially free: Graffiti Writing
Underground.

In order to get more free time for my Graffiti production, I worked in feeelance as a Art Director and Graphic Designer
World Wild Web.
I discovered & enjoyed internet 1.0. in 1999. I studied the Graphic Design from 2001 to 2003. To share my own projects, I started to create my own websites in 2005 (via ADSL). I totally disapprove the current web 2.0.

Strugling.
Opressed by the recession (and some theeth problems), I shut down my Graphic Studio in 2011-12. As 80% of my friends had already done, I thought about get out of France. In contrast to them, I hope I could dot it without having the budget for…
Missing in Action.
2012 — 2019
In 2012, I had to save my life. Therefore I could not allow myself to take some time to design any of my personnal ideas. I even had to stop definitely to make Graffiti in 2011.
My artistic silent period persisted for 7 years!
During that period whitout drawing, I started to make some music playlists in order to mix them. Influenced by their stories, I began also to write many scenarii
In 2015, I quit my hometown LILLE for an other slowness & darkness town named PARIS where I still survive
Work Retirement.
Art Director & Graphic Designer
2020
When I was looking for joining any agency, I stayed mainly unemployed. My profesionnal book has no effect on the market!?
In fact, the recruiters prefered exploited any young talentless personn for the lower salary in accordance with the orders coming from stock echange. (Read more about: HERE)
One more major economic crisis came throught the Coronavirus. The designer work became impossible. Therefore, I was forced to retire in 2020; at 37…
I will never work again in this sector or in any digitized profession.
Butterfly Effect.
It is quite sad to say, if you suffer too much you are not able to product.
When you suffer less but subtencially, you will improve your creative skills

I had to reassure myself with my own deep statement:
