In 2015, he created a publishing lab with Coline Pierré: monstrograph. There they publish unpublishable books that are refused everywhere, it’s about messing up a bit anyway, but that count: Au-delà de la pénétration, Eloge des fins heureuses (by Coline), Moi les hommes je les déteste (by Pauline Harmange), Poétique réjouissante du lubrifiant (by Lou Sarabadzic), the collective Les artistes ont-ils vraiment besoin de manger?, the handwritten and hand-drawn books Tu vas rater ta vie et personne ne t’aimera jamais, N’essayez pas de changer le monde restera toujours votre ennemi…
His books have been translated in about fifteen countries. He is the recipient of a scholarship from the Akademie Schloss Solitude.
In 2012, he published a horror novel (zombies) under the name of Pit Agarmen : La nuit a dévoré le monde.
