Griffo

To ensure that your pages are kept in good condition, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the media used to produce them. Although Indian ink is a perennial material, the paper support may change when exposed to UV light. Note that watercolor plates require special attention, as this medium is particularly sensitive to light. Pieces containing pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made of pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity

Griffo enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp at the age of 15 and began his professional career in the 1970s by taking over Modeste et Pompon for Le Journal de Tintin. His career took a major turn in the 1980s with SOS Bonheur, written by Jean Van Hamme, and later through his collaboration with Jean Dufaux. Together, they created several notable series such as Beatifica Blues, Samba Bugatti, and Monsieur Noir. Over the decades, Griffo has worked on numerous projects with leading writers such as Yves Swolfs, Stephen Desberg, Laurent-Frédéric Bollée and Rodolphe. As a creator of an eclectic body of work, his titles include Giacomo C., Golden Dogs, Sherman, Iruène, alongside several historical and fantasy graphic novels. Celebrated for his prolific career and the quality of his artwork, he was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in recognition for his lifetime's achievements.
