Jean-Philippe has always been a high school mathematics teacher and an endurance race enthusiast, and has balanced his life between the arts and sports. It is through his numerous travel diaries that he discovered an interest in drawing and took up the challenge of telling one of his many adventures in the form of a graphic novel. La Route des Grandes Alpes is his first publication with Alaska. His thirst for new adventures gives him inspiring material for other stories to tell. We can therefore say that Jean-Philippe is not afraid of the cold!
