INTERVIEW
Hey Candy, how are you feeling today? I am feeling well today, thank you! It is still a beautiful sun here for an October day. And I am excited by the launch of my Pumpkin doll.
What did you have for breakfast? I had hot chocolate. I don't like coffee. And I'm going to buy French pastries almost every morning. I can't do without.
Tell us about a regular day in the life of Candy Bird... My days can vary a lot. But generally I wake up around 8 - 9 am. I don't need alarm clock because my cat wakes me up!
First I answer my emails and after that I work as an illustrator all day. I work at home and it is not easy to stop working. Sometimes I work all through the evening too!
What would you be doing if you weren’t an artist? It is a dificult question for me because I always wanted to become an illustrator. But I think I would like perhaps to become a psychologist.
Where do you live and what do you love about your hometown? I live in the South of France and I like the sun and the sea which is less than an hour from my house. I like to live near the city as well as being close to nature.
Where’s your favourite place to visit? I like to visit the Cathar Castles. There is a special atmosphere. It's impressive and historically interesting.
In the kitchen, what’s your speciality dish? I cook very little... I don't like cooking. But sometimes I cook very good cakes or pies.
How will you be celebrating Halloween? Will you be wearing a costume?
Oops, I should hurry because I don't still know.
Serious question: Pumpkin pie or marshmallows? Pumpkin pie, of course!
Thanks for chatting! Thank you :)
