About me
Known worldwide as Gax, I am a French illustrator and freelance art director based in France. My fascination with symbolism, monsters and occult worlds began early, sparked by discovering Dungeons & Dragons magazines at the age of nine-a gateway to folklore and imagination. Inspired by the visionary works of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, I have illustrated book covers for Third Editions in France and Dark Horse in the US, including titles like Dawn Runner, Canto, and Stranger Things.
My creative journey extends to deck cards for Hasbro (Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons), promotional art for Square Enix’s NieR Replicant, and collaborations with renowned YouTubers such as VaatiVidyaand Laink & Terracid. In comics, I contributed to Label 619’s “Midnight Tales” alongside G. Singelin and M. Bablet, and published my own comic “Berzerkid” with Pow4. Most recently, I led the art direction for “Aetheris,” a vibrant roguelite video game from Wild Wits Games, crafting a colorful and distinctive visual universe.
