After a short career in animation, working on the movies of Belgian comic hero 'Paryrus', Grégory Mardon took the decision to become purely a comic artist. His debut album is a personal story about his grandfather: 'Vagues à l'Âme', published in 2000 by Les Humanoïdes Associés. It is a somewhat melancholic homage to a man who used to be a Steve McQueen type of guy. With 'Vagues à l'Âme', Mardon won the Prix du Lion for young comic artists, which is an initiative of the Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée in Brussels.
