Graduated in Illustration/Narrative graphics from the Fine Arts Institute of Saint-Luc (Liège), Pascal attended a course given by master of drawing José Muñoz in Libramont. After studying computer graphics at S.T.E./University of Liege he started freelancing for films.
Since then he has worked on numerous film projects, including "Books of Magic" , the adaption project of Neil Gaiman's comic book by Warner Bros, on the Christian Dior advertising "Dior, J'adore" directed by photographer Nick Knight and interpreted by Charlize Theron. He worked as well on music videos, a theme park for Dubaï, and did the cinematic storyboards for Nintendo's game "Battalion Wars".
With about 12 years of experience specialized in visual storytelling and previz design for films, advertisings, games and shows, Pascal has drawn more than 5000 frames and drawings for various projects.

Aside from developing his personal graphic novel projects, he also teaches storyboard at 3D high school Supinfocom in Valencienne (France) and Brussels SAE Institute.
