Jon & Robin grew up in opposite sides of France. One in the South West, the other in the North of the North. They both spent their childhoods drawing. Jon went to Paris to study art at the same school where Robin would study a few years later, and entered EMCA in Angoulême (France). In 2016, they were both selected to direct their respective animated adaptation of Paul Eluard's poems for French TV, it's where they met. Soon after, they had the opportunity to work together this time, mixing their styles to adapt Tears by the American poet Walt Whitman, for the Campfire Poetry project by Max Rothman.
