An ardent consumer of images, François has been working in the field of graphic design for over twenty years. It's in the evening, when the house is quiet, that he dives behind his drawing board to create his own stories and illustrate those of others. In 2022, he produced his first comic strip for Éditions Sawin with L’histoire de 5 grands groupes métal du Québec – tome 1, illustrating the history of the band Anonymus. He then signed Fabriqué au Rana Plaza, published as part of the International Development Week presented by AQOCI in 2023. He regularly contributes, with his illustrations, to Miam magazine and its beautiful gang. Lately, with Jonathan Boisvert, he has branched out into publishing with the comic strip collective La Flopée, along with Nique à feu publishing.
