Biography

Born in

Sud-Ouest.[3][4]

He worked as an industrial designer for the Société Nationale des Gaz du Sud-Ouest, a natural gas supplier.[3]

Honoré had a long career in newspaper and magazine cartoons, working with dozens of publications, including

La Vie ouvrière,[5] Charlie Mensuel,[5] Le Matin,[5] and Expressen.[6] He illustrated many book covers, including the anniversary edition of Petit Larousse. His artwork was featured in a number of group exhibitions.[4]

He became a staff cartoonist for Charlie Hebdo in 1992. With its thick line (somewhat reminiscent of

woodcuts),[4][7] and strong reliance on black-and-white, Honoré's style stood out from the other Charlie Hebdo cartoonists.[8]

The last cartoon tweeted by Charlie Hebdo minutes before the attack was an illustration by Honoré of the

ISIS leader, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, offering formal New Year's wishes.[9]

Honoré was critically wounded during the attack, and died in the hospital
