To ensure that your pages are kept in good condition, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the media used to produce them. Although Indian ink is a perennial material, the paper support may change when exposed to UV light. Note that watercolor plates require special attention, as this medium is particularly sensitive to light. Pieces containing pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made of pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.

Born in 1966, Jean-Denis Pendanx is a prolific illustrator (children’s books, press) as well as an animator, notably on the Corto Maltese series. He made his comic book debut in 1991 with Diavolo le Solennel (written by Doug Headline, published by Zenda), then collaborated with Le Tendre and Dieter on Labyrinthes (Glénat, 1993) before adapting Alain Brezault’s Les Corruptibles (Glénat). At Futuropolis, he co-created two flagship titles with Christophe Dabitch: Abdallahi and Jeronimus. In 2017, he published his first solo album, Au bout du fleuve (Futuropolis), set in West Africa, followed by L’Œil du marabout. This latter work was inspired by a 2016 humanitarian mission to South Sudan with UNICEF, where he created a mural in the Bentiu camp and collected testimonies from children and young people. Based in Bordeaux, he released in May 2025 a new  ecological album, Les Poissons, eux, ne pleurent pas... Complete biography
