From 1908 until 1914 he worked as the costume designer for the Opéra Garnier, the main location of the Paris Opera.
In 1916 he joined the army as an infantryman.
After the first world war, he also directed two movies, Mektoub, set in Marocco in 1919, and Mon Village in 1920.
But his main body of work are his comics and illustrations made for many French youth magazines. This started in 1903 in Saint-Nicolas, where he illustrated L'Automobile enchantée, written by Henry Gauthier-Villars. His biggest success came in 1905, when he illustrated the first story about Bécassine, a young Breton girl, in the form of text comics (comic strips with the text beneath the drawings instead of in balloons). From 1913 on, the adventures of Bécassine were collected in 24 albums. Bécassine is considered to be the first female comic heroine.
