When I make a book, I make it for the child and not for the parent - no jokes in it for the parents!

I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors, to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

I have been drawing all my life.

Now, I had been drawing all this time - especially in France of course - so, when I came back, my father gave me the chance to do a cover for one of the books he published.

Each book first begins with a little idea.

But we discovered that, although I liked publishing, the commercial side meant nothing at all to me.
