Artistic career
After Philippe Aymond obtained a master's degree in fine arts , he joined the studio of Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières in 1989 . There he worked on the series Canal Choc .

After graduating from Canal Choc , Christin wrote the single tracks L'Homme qui fait le tour du monde (1994) and Les voleurs de villes (1997) for Aymond . The latter volume tells the stories of two of the main characters from Canal Choc . Afterwards, Christin and Aymond started the Les 4 × 4 series . In this series aimed at a young target group, the experiences of four young people from four different countries are told. However, the series was canceled after four volumes for lack of success.
