While spending time as a singer in a punk-rock band, he published his first drawings in comics and rock fanzines.
In October 1994, he was published in the French magazine Fluide Glacial (issue #220) with L'Expert comptable de la jungle, a first story rapidly followed by other complete ones, and republished later in comic books, in the series Soyons fous, La Loi des séries and Bill Baroud.
From that year on, alone first and then with Gaudelette, he worked for Spirou magazine, publishing Pedro le Coati, among others.
Finally, he signed alone his next books : the Une aventure rocambolesque de..., Le combat ordinaire (this last one being granted an award by the Prize for Best Album at the Angoulême International Comics Festival) and Nic Oumouk series.
In 2024, Larcenet illustrated the graphic novel adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, published by Abrams ComicArts.
