How did you feel when you started drawing it? It must have been so exciting to be asked to create the graphic novel version of such a famous story. it's like directing a movie where everything is free (except for your long hours of drawing!) and you get to be everybody: filmmaker, screenwriter, and all of the actors.

How did you become interested in creating graphic novels? And then I moved back to my hometown, Paris! I moved to New York for a few years and published a few graphic novels there, including Brazen, a series of portraits of incredible women. I've been an illustrator for books and advertising for a little while, too. I've been creating stories in comics since I was five, and started doing so professionally about 15 years ago.
