I know he did the drawings for many of Rene Laloux's early
animations. Laloux said that after he had done the designs for their
first feature film he dropped out of the production because his
mother had told him that "no good would come of it". The film was "Le
Planete Sauvage" and became a huge international success. Laloux
referred to her as his "castrating mother".

Thanks for pointing to Saitinac!
Wondering if anyone else has read the bizarre and funny stories of him
(Topor)
Apart from being his novel 'La Locataire' on which Polanski's movie is
based, I remember him from being one of the French connected to
Boris Vian
and sideways to Serge Gainsbourg
In a long forgotten time of liberation of the arts, in the
seventies that
was.
Helas nowadays the guys who were young then grew, old and blocked the
entrance to freedom for the new generation, so they are having bad
luck
now.
It is a shame that a lot of governors both in art politics and in
-- hmm
-- 'real' politics forgot their youth and developed an extreme
suppressing
grip on society.
...and..yes...if you like that kind of art that's under Topor's
influence

Anyone remembers Roland Topor, absurdist writer from France?
