FROM A RANDOM CONVERSATION AT THE STUDIO LAST SUMMER WITH MY FORMER INTERN THIBO NOUADJE

“THIBÔ, I’D REALLY LOVE TO MAKE A T-SHIRT FOR THE STUDIO.

— OHHH, AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND? — I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE THE STUDIO’S VALUES, AN ILLUSTRATION?!… LATELY I’VE BEEN FASCINATED BY THE SUN. I PUT SUNS IN ALL MY MESSAGES. I WANT PEOPLE TO CALL ME MADAME SOLEIL. PLUS, ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FILMS IS THE LITTLE GIRL WHO SOLD THE SUN BY DIOP MAMBÉTY. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

— I REALLY SEE MYSELF IN HER… I WANT TO SELL SUNSHINE TO PEOPLE.

— WAIT, I’VE GOT AN IDEA.”
