I did have a nice conversation with Fabienne Legrand, France based illustrator and author of "Two Loves Have I, My Handbag and Paris" at Longchamp boutique in New York city. She told me her interesting story about what means to be an illustrator for books, magazines, advertising and author of the new graphic novel.
I was really inspired by her story. Fabienne also told me, that she is really happy about doing what she loves.
