Since 1990, he publishes regularly in Lapin , the magazine of publisher L'Association, which later published three of his albums.

Killoffer also created four stamps for the Swiss Post in 2006, [2] making him the first foreign artist to design Swiss stamps. [3]
Some of his works have been translated into Dutch and German. 676 Apparitions of Killoffer is his first work to be translated in English. [4]
Apart from his teachers, Killoffer cites as his influences the Dutch artists Willem and Joost Swarte. He also admires the work of Moebius. [4] But despite these ligne claire influences, he is considered as the most experimental author of L'Association. [5]
