In the second half of the 1980s, he started several unfinished projects with Maric for Dargaud and then focused on advertising art ('Sherlock Holmes voit rouge' for Twinnings, 'Le Serpent à Plumes' for NewMan). In 2004 he returned to comics by coloring the work of Christian Godard. He also returned to the pages of Pif Gadget upon the magazine's relaunch.
