Les Talons Rouges

Blogging along since 2002.

Before illustration became my livelihood I was an independent graphic designer often toting a compact camera in my pocket. I took a lot of photos and was at a loss as to what to do with them. So I started a blog. I wrote little bits about my days and the studio space I shared.

The first blog was called 52 Fragments and was a challenge to myself to update once a week for one whole year, hence the "52". This was way back in 2002, well before Blogger and all that. I built and updated the whole website by hand. Laborious! But I did it, and I continued well past the one year challenge. It was initially for the entertainment of the folks I knew. Then more people started following. Heck I even made some internet friends via my little blog. Then I shifted everything to Blogger, and in mid 2013 moved the blog to my website. There has been a pause during motherhood, but now I am back. It feels good to have it all happening in one space. Thanks for reading. Say hello!
