Bonjour my little demon,

I spent the week writing, recording, and editing a huge video about my whole artistic journey — it wasn’t easy, but I’m really proud I did it.

TODAY’S GEM

This week I wrote, recorded, and edited the most important video I’ve ever made:
my full artistic journey, from the very beginning to today.

Going back to 2019 felt intense.
I pulled every thread — the choices, the setbacks, the tiny victories.
I put it all on paper. And then, I did something I never do:

I sat in front of the camera and talked. For hours.

At first, I was shy and anxious.
But the more I opened up about my early days, my methods, my failures… the more I let go.
I shared stories I had never told before.

And somewhere in the middle of recording, a strange feeling hit me: gratitude.

Gratitude for everything — the art blocks, the ugly sketches, the crazy pivots.
Because somehow, I’ve built this life.

A dream life. One drawing at a time.

In this video, I tell you everything from 2019 to today. Including…

• How I started drawing with no talent and no clue

• How I struggled for years to improve before I found the right method and finally unlocked my style

• The loneliness of posting online and staying invisible for two long years

• The mindset shifts and growth systems I used to make my art viral, seen, and supported

• What it really means to go from “artist” to “professional”

• The smart decisions that helped me build a 6-figure art business in just two years

• And the mistakes that led me straight into art block...

It’s long. It’s honest. And it’s probably the most important thing I’ve shared.

Tomorrow, I’m dropping the full video on my Atelier Backstage Patreon.
It’s more than 1h — just you, me, and the camera.

And if you’re already inside: prepare a drink. It’s raw, cozy, and very me.

That’s all for me.

Bisou,
Léa.
