He is the co-creator of the YA graphic novel 13e Avenue published by Éditions de la Pastèque in 2018 and the comic book series Orcs in Space from Oni Press (2021—22). His relatively small body of work has been nominated for a surprising number of awards (including the the Joe Shuster Award and the Bédélys Québec Award) and has even won a few of them, including the inaugural Québec Bookseller's Prize for best youth graphic novel.
