Roger Licot was born in Brussels, Belgium, and left Europe at the age of 20 to settle in New York City. He spent many years there as a freelance cartoonist for major national magazines such as Cosmopolitan, TVGuide, Playboy and many more.
Licot moved to California in the 1980s where he also started to work in the advertising field (notably at the famous GBS agency in San Francisco) and at the same time he created two graphic novels ('Toxine' 1 and 2) for Last Gasp, and created many illustrations for the San Francisco Chronicle, working mainly with pen and ink, and began to work with digital images, eroticism, realism and urban themes using brushes and paints.
