Bee Happy, how to promote a Roof for Bees?
The idea for this illustration comes from an Instagram challenge #dtiys organized by the artist Poopikat. I loved her character and wanted to create my version. I also had a lot of luck; the sun was still high in the sky in Denmark, and the flowers were beautiful. I wanted to use this illustration to promote a French company that I greatly appreciate, Un Toit pour les abeilles (A Roof for Bees). The concept of this company is to help beekeepers through a membership. So, each month, you can sponsor a beehive near or far from your location. In return, you receive honey pots from that beekeeper. At the time,…

Did you ever play with Paper Dolls?
I have always played a lot with dolls, but what I loved was inventing stories and preparing my dolls. Once these steps were completed, I didn’t feel like playing anymore. One day, my parents took away my dolls for some reason I can’t quite remember. I felt empty and needed to release all those stories bubbling inside me. So, I remember drawing them on paper, cutting them out, and feeling relieved because I could once again immerse myself in that universe. Indeed, drawing has never been an end in itself for me, but only a step in creation. Drawing allows me and still allows me, to then play with my…

My children’s book about food “I want to eat”
It all started with small sketches as a joke, and I thought it would be an excellent idea for a little flap book. Funnily, I really enjoyed exploring different foods and their possible reactions. Always with that paper doll aspect that I love so much, I decided to make the objects manipulable so that the child could not only read the book but also play with it for real. The reactions from the children were truly adorable, and I loved seeing them constantly playing with this little character. What I wanted to create for this project was not only a book but an experience. And it worked so well. The…

A little trip to London
Hi! 💕 How are you doing so far? I wanted to share some pictures of my last trip to London. I drew a big backpack for the occasion and wanted to write a story about this magical girl.✨ As you can see, she has a very big backpack and she carries all her magical potions and materials with her. For the moment, I only have a few pictures, and I don’t know if I will use them. But I still love this idea, so I will write it down, and when this idea’s time comes, I’ll be ready! 💕 I met very nice people when I took my pictures, and…

Magical girl! Always and forever
Hi! How are you today? 😄 I went out with my children this morning and wanted to go to the forest with them. But we’ve stayed a long time watching and feeding ducks around the lake close to our place. 🦆 After that, my little one wanted to continue to bike, as she had just started! It’s still hard for her to stop and start, but except for these little details, she bikes! Here is a little character that I’ve painted with ink and watercolor. I did it for a challenge hosted by Poopikat, a great artist I love. I’ve painted it on a super small sketchbook that I have…
