I'm a cartoonist and teacher best known for my book 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style (Penguin), a comics adaptation of Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style. Thanks to that book I was made the U.S. Correspondent of Oubapo, Workshop for Potential Comics, and later a French knight in the Order of Arts and Letters.

From 2012 to 2016 I did an extended residency at La Maison des auteurs in Angoulême, France. Since the end of 2016 I've been living in Philadelphia where I'm working as a part-time cartoonist and full-time dad.
