The Artist

ASTER

I was born on July 7, 1976, and I live in Belgium. After studying mathematics and science at university, I earned a Master's degree in Journalism and Communication from the University of Liège. In 2017, I founded a publishing house.

Since 1999, I have been working as a cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator for corporate and institutional communication. To find out more, visit www.dessindepresse.com.

Currently, I offer live drawing animations for various types of events: congresses, conferences, seminars, workshops, and ceremonies. My former website was www.cartoonevent.com.

"This involves livening up a plenary session by projecting humorous cartoons drawn on the spot by a cartoonist positioned in the control room, on stage or in the audience, who draws inspiration from the themes, context, speakers comments, audience reactions and general atmosphere."
