Harriet Potter, Cowgirl Bebop and FFXV: The Ladies in Leather Roadtrip, digital, 2017.

What if the gender representation of pop culture was reversed? What would that look like? This is my take on the characters from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Cowboy Bebop and Final Fantasy XV for Wine & Zine's "Swap", done in a woodblock inspired style.

@inktober #30, no sooner had my Mum arrived, I was seeing her off on the train again for the long 12hr journey home, it was a lovely weekend but I was sad to be on my own again -.-

@inktober #29, a really funky room in the Li Hongbo exhibit at le Musée du Papier, this must have been hundreds and hundreds of feet of folded and glued paper hanging and interlocked and wrapped around itself in this huge room. It was very impressive!

@inktober #28, our favourite breakfast spot in the corner of the petite-dejeuner room in the Saint-Antoine hotel, it was a lovely way to start the day! And there was the most adorable little doggy there! 🐶🥐🧀☕️

@inktober #26, I was so excited all day for my wonderful Mum to arrive in Angoulême for a long weekend!! We checked into our hotel and went straight for a Birthday meal at L'Entrecote which was such a great restaurant that I discovered nearby at the last minute! What a find! 🍷💕

@inktober #25, my Birthday! This is a moment I will cherish forever, everyone in the studio shared the amazing carrot cake and cheesecake I got from Amy’s and they even brought some nice drinks and we all had a beautiful celebration in the sun! It was really special as I don’t think Birthday’s are normally celebrated like this at work in France. I will remember this forever, thank you everyone! 💕

@inktober #24, Marie-Anne took me on a tour of places to eat in Angoulême and I got some really good recommendations! Then I went to Amy’s New York Kitchen to order my Birthday cakes for the studio the next day, she was so lovely! 😊🎂

@inktober #23, one of my favourite times of day at work is when Aude, Lenny (the “free electron”/le electron libre) and I speak partial French/English together, it’s such a laugh! Aude speaks ze perfect English! *hair flick* 🇬🇧🇫🇷

@inktober #20, Loup made 1kg of dough and we all brought in toppings to make two huge veggie pizzas at work for lunch! C'est trés bien !

@inktober #19, still feel homesick quite often, but getting cosy in my room and lighting my moonflower and amber candle makes me feel better 😊🕯

@inktober #15, a day in Bordeaux where I met my cousin Frankie! It was so hot and the sights were incredible, we had sushi and an obligatory glass of wine! Missed my train back but still made it in time for Blade Runner 2049 at the cinema! 🍷
