Briefly:

Before arriving at Raincity Studios's steps in January 2007, young Hubert (fresh arrived from France) had been deprived of Slurpees, Tim Horton's coffee and donuts and even gravy on his fries for his entire life! Oh yeah, he'd never used the Internet besides email - shocking indeed considering his savant-like design ability.

He spent more than a year (and all his money) in Australia and south-east Asia on a Kitesurfing safari. After few shark stories, and far too much sun, he returned to France to work as a freelance graphic designer before supernatural BC called to him saying, "Hubert, come recreate!"

After the initial shock about the size of the cars ("woohooo they are soooo big here!!"), he settled into Raincity Studios where he is now totally crazy (really) about graphic design and the Internet and always totes his camera and can't write a simple e-mail without attaching a picture or resist the urge to make Drupal inspired art.
