Louis-Xavier Valton was born in 1971 in Nantes (France). He is known under his artist name Logan Kowalsky, inspired by the comic book character Wolverine. After starting as a graphic designer in multimedia, he began working as a cartoonist for the French gay magazine Project X but soon favored comic book illustration.

Logan's characters, their features and their interactions are very characteristic, as he himself explains: "The readers of comics will see immediately the influence of American comic book superhero in my style. One could even mention without making a mistake a few names of designers: Mignola, Timm, Byrne, Buscema (grand master of the comic who unfortunately left us too soon.)."

"And if you look at my work chronologically, you'll notice that my line goes from realism (rather busy) to the sketch (cartoon trend), the color also became for me an additional means of expression."
