  • Who is behind the nickname Brunograffer with almost 800,000 subscribers on TikTok and more than 50,000 on Instagram?

    A Strasbourg native of Haut-Savoyard origin who knows how to draw, film as well as photograph.

  • How does he manage to renew himself?

    Find ideas?

    Earn money ?

    The person explains himself, not without humor.

  • "I like to shock and see the reactions of people", launches the one who now targets the million subscribers on TikTok.

Hair dyed blue, an equally colorful look and… often crazy videos.

Welcome to the world of Bruno Bosse, aka Brunograffer on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

On these three platforms, the Strasbourg resident is followed by more than 850,000 subscribers, with a special mention for the Chinese social network where he has accumulated… 791,000 fans at the end of September!

How? 'Or' What ?

Why ?

The questions are almost too serious for the 24-year-old artist, originally from Haute-Savoie and arriving in Alsace in 2017 to study graphic design.

“I left last summer with my parents because I couldn't find a job anywhere.

But I came back and I invented my own work, ”he laughs, tackling the order from a customer: a barrel.

"I think it's for a bar, he told me 'you do what you want with it'!

"

That's good, the artist has almost set up this principle as a common thread.

" I do what i want.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not, ”he sums up when talking about his regular publications.

“On TikTok, I try to post one thing per day minimum.

Some are shot in advance.

As in this clip where he appears sliding on soapy water in the middle of Place Kléber.

“We recorded it for music that sounds like a big joke.

With a friend, you don't know how to sing or dance… ”But that didn't prevent him from getting started, regardless of the result and the comments.

In public spaces, Bruno Bosse had already made people talk about him by trying to ride ... an inflatable unicorn on the cathedral square!

"It is often said that ridicule does not kill but it goes further: it makes you stronger", he estimates, admitting all the same that these outings do not constitute his core activity.

Its nickname indicates it, the artist is above all a graphic designer "with a training of photographer, videographer and designer".

His rising notoriety, he owes it first to his drawings.

His favorite themes?

“I like the food personified.

I've made burgers or pizzas in my underwear before!

»SpongeBob or Pikachu are also entitled to his pencil stroke on the tablet, but rarely in their classic version.

The first with just his head and a gory skeleton;

the second in net overweight.

“I like to shock and see people's reactions,” explains the one who also organizes online drawing contests and… good deeds.

“I had launched a kitty to be able to distribute food to the homeless.

Well, I had only collected 30 euros, the video had made a big bad buzz but I did not refrain from retrying the experience.

If my influence can be of use, that's fine.

In the meantime, he still struggles to make a living from it.

Since May, Bruno Bosse admits to having received “200 euros from YouTube”.

Regarding TikTok, his first salary should arrive soon.

“They start to pay since September 1 but it will be a hundred times less than on YouTube.

Moreover, since they announced that they would pay us, the algorithm has changed, we have fewer views… ”

But some bring him clients and the artist has "more and more orders".

He has also just embarked on the creation of a clothing line.

"The ideas accumulate, it explodes in my head", laughs the young man who now aims "the million subscribers on TikTok.

Not for my pride, it's a personal pleasure.

That he could still celebrate with extravagance.

For the 500,000 mark, he had just dyed his hair blue.
