Mathieu Reynès was born near Paris, but he spent most of his childhood near the Basque coast. He initially pursued a scientific education, but eventually turned to 3D animation at the CNBDI in Angoulême. He has been working fulltime as a comic artist since the early 2000s, mostly in cooperation with scriptwriter Frédéric Brrémaud. After creating their first albums for Paquet ('Banana Fight', 2002) and Soleil ('Sexy Gun', two books in 2003-2004) they began an association with Éditions Bamboo.
