About Me

ABOUT ME

James : I'm a toy librarian and also illustrator. I like to travel to make my view widened, to meet people, to share point of view and cultures in a cheerful way. I'm really keen of art and mainly paintings and drawings. I'm really interested in discovering other countries to learn their custom and their history. I also like folk tales from Sweden, Norway, Russia, and everywhere in the world.
Anouck : I'm a sound engeneer and I'm working as a radio-program director. I love child music, travels, boardgames, clowns, folk musics and dances, cooking and manual work. I’m quite involved in ecology and DIY.

PHILOSOPHY

Trust in art to grow up!
