Circus tent in Avignon july 2022

In April 2022, I ordered my IPad on a refurbishing website ( Backmarket.fr ); I found the rare pearl with a good memory capacity for a reasonable price. I was so excited about this purchase that I almost didn't sleep anymore. I started following different illustrators on YouTube, some of them were very generous and gave a lot of details about their suppliers, their equipment and their working methods.

I learned, for example, that it was recommended to have a P.O. Box for practical reasons and for privacy.

I realized that a certain profile stood out among these illustrators; there were many women with cats who played "Animal Crossing" and burned out! Well, I should adopt a cat, start playing "Animal Crossing" and not check the "burn out" option!

I didn't really know what products I wanted to make, I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted to do yet, but I wanted to do something.

I had opened a P.O. Box and started the process of starting my own business. I was spending my summer vacations in Avignon, a city in the south of France where a big theater festival takes place in July. I used to draw a lot, I had pencils and paper that I took everywhere with me. At first, I was afraid to draw in front of people, but very quickly I forgot about them. With my son and my husband, we used to go to circus shows and I used to draw the tents... I was happy...
