That's exactly what some clients expect ( i.e. call at 7am asking if you emailed the P&L report they asked you to in an email the previous day at 11:45pm. True story)

Reflecting on his challenges, the artist confessed, "I’m pretty lazy, so my biggest struggle is simply getting as much done as I’d like. Plus, crafting the perfect composition for a comic panel is an endless challenge."

Pierre shared, "The main reward is making the things in my head come to life, and seeing that some people enjoy it. I feel very fortunate to have so many readers." He finds it incredibly rewarding to turn his ideas into art that others can connect with, and he truly appreciates the support of his audience.

"Much of my inspiration comes from how absurd and fleeting life is—my name even means 'mortal.'" This awareness influences both his themes and his artistic style. He aims to make his drawings simple yet vibrant, and his unique 'shaky' lines emerged after an injury led him to draw with his non-dominant hand. The resulting looseness brought an energy to his work that he’s grown to appreciate.
