Wearing Prada SS 2013
Next June, I’m going to pass my final exam and get my diploma (jglmkjergI’mSOafraid). It feels strange.
I’ve been studying art and graphic design for 6 years (including a prep year).
I miss carrying my (big) « artist » bag, disturbing people when I was trying to make my way to the subway (art students, you know what I mean…).
Everyone always talk about their college years as their best. Carefree feeling, all that stuff…
I felt free not because I could do « whatever » I wanted (wut ?), but because I knew I didn’t have to chose yet. To chose between graphic design, working in an agency or being a full-time illustrator. And to be honest, I still haven’t made up my mind. I love to draw more than anything (blaablabla), but I don’t know if I would be able to make a living with it.
So many people tell me that I surely will, but when it comes to profesional, doors keep being close, or they open for someone else.
I know I still have a little time, but there’s still a lot of work to do. I will try to make it.
And dear god, there must be a LOT of mistakes, I do apologize. I wrote without thinking, with my school-basic english. Whatever.
I should have written in french :3

This is a « thank you » illustration (again).
Thank you for being so many on the facebook page (we hit the 2000 fans recently).
Thank you for following my work for so long (it’s been 3 years that I run this blog on MadmoiZelle.com).
I promise I will always try to improve myself.
This is why I started my blog. To share what I do, to have another point of view on my « work », to try to do better, always.
(And to improve my english skills, but there’s still a lot to learn, ahem…)
From now on, I will try to post « work in progress » pictures with the final illustration.
Those are low quality, sorry !


I’m trying to prepare a fanart contest for the blog’s 3rd anniversary and the 2000 fans, but I don’t have much time…
