I decided to participate on two projects for the Art House Coop in NY… this one is call “The Photo Response Project”, where we had to “perform a visual translation” of a photo… so I digitally collaged what this particular photo inspired me.. and wrote a quick phrase..
If you want to see the original photo that inspired this illustration, here it is (no 5). Was a lot of fun to come up with an idea (well… first to pick a photo… that was quite difficult.. I had too many ideas!!… and then this one… really brought me back to my childhood… and the way I felt, the day I rang the doorbell on my best friend… for the first time.

J’ai décidé de participer à deux projets pour le Art House Coop, à New York. Voici donc le premier. Le thème est “Le projet réponse-photo“, et en gros, il fallait choisir une photo (sur 5 propositions) et en faire notre propre traduction (donc création originale… qu’est-ce que ca nous inspirait!) Pas facile de choisir la photo… trop d’idées… et finallement j’ai vu celle avec la porte (la No 5, elle est ici). J’ai tout de suite pensé au sentiment de nervosité qui nous habite quand on est enfant et qu’on sonne pour la première fois à la porte d’un (ou d’une) ami(e)… les papillons dans l’estomac.
I will go visit your website now!! I miss checking other websites of illustrators, too!! hehe

I went and peeped at the original photo. You got from there to here … I like your travels. For me, your picture conjured the exact feeling of going to a friends house for the very first time … those knots and tangles of expectation
Ton explication est très intéressante, l’idée originale. Je suis à pérorer une exposition photo et je dois retenir 10photos. quelle case-tête! alors je te comprends
This is a perfect photo response. I signed up for this project too, and then forgot to do it! (shhhh… don’t tell!)
Oh… Sarah!! I have done way worst then you… I have signed up for the Sketchbook project in… 1011 and it is still in my bookcase, waiting to be filled!!! … I think I sort of put a blind fold on it for a while, wondering if they will accept it …. 3 or 4 years later hehehe… will have to see.
So do not feel bad… remorse is not an option hehehe
