A course by Jean Fraisse
After completing his studies in graphic design in Paris, France, Jean Fraisse decided to train himself in illustration and began applying it to his work for advertising agencies. He took the leap into freelancing and started working for major clients like Marinela and Televisa.
In 2015, he discovered Huevocartoon and has worked for them as an art director ever since. He also does his own personal projects and developed the video game 2D Elixir.
