Mika Pusse lives and works in Saint-Etienne. A protean artist, he is by turns a singer, a musician, a draughtsman, a comic book artist, a graphic designer, a tattoo artist, an illustrator, a designer of record sleeves and a poster artist. His approach to creation is horizontal, with the choice of medium coming later.

He is strongly influenced by rock and punk culture, American alternative comics and symbolist and romantic painting. As well as being a singer and musician, he created the visual identity and record sleeves for the brilliant cult band Pusse, and the musical duos Schlaasss, Chantal Morte and Pupusse et Patrack. He has also collaborated with the Têtes Raides band and the Bloc Thyristors free jazz label, for which he has designed numerous covers.

Today, he devotes himself to his solo musical projects, tattooing, drawing and printmaking.
