2012

Game Parts Online SARL aka GPO SARL

I create with my husband, our company of repair, sale, rental of automatic games (We renovate games both mechanically and aesthetically … my field)

I use for this an accelerated training of 4 days to use Illustrator and Versaworks in order to be able to print on a VS 640 Rolland.

SOCIAL MEDIA – GPO SARL (my company)

I learn a lot in a few years and form myself as an autodidact by following franck payen’s live ADOBE. (which I watch again and again)

2015

I participate for the first time with my work in a demoparty. Incredible discovery ! AMAZING.

My veritable hobbies is DEMOSCENE.

The demoscene is an international computer art subculture focused on producing demos : self-contained, sometimes extremely small, computer programs that produce audiovisual presentations. The purpose of a demo is to show off programming, visual art, and musical skills. Demos and other demoscene productions (graphics, music, videos, games) are shared at festivals known as demoparties, voted on by those who attend and released online.

I have never seen such a thing. I meet fantastic people who share their knowledge. This network still brings me a lot today.

Wanting to do like all the graphic designers present, I draw on a corner of the table my first PAINTOVER, then Franky and Metoikos tell me to send my drawing to the composition. I try…

2016

I’m learning to really use photoshop thanks to Made who tells me that it’s not rocket science and who encourages me.

I am happy with the results (for exemple : tiger eyes – 5th place @revision germany / Your are so delicius – 1th place @Assembly / Sharko 5th place @tokyo demo fest ) I obtain in several countries and have continued since.

2020

COVID – In 2020 the covid pandemic forces us to organize our demo parties online. We meet on discord servers and set up different ways to communicate. I find myself in the administration of demoscene.fr and that of the shadowparty.

2021

Oktober – Illoe introduced me to inktober and I managed to finish it.

Dec. 1.st – The Pinacotheque of Luxemburg send me certififat for three digital painting. (E-color – Your are so delicius – Tiger eye)

Things are accelerating in 2021, always looking for new skills, I am training and obtaining my TOSA ILLUSTRATOR certification on November 15th.

I realize with Zavie the logo of tokoy demo fest 2021, but also the t-shirts, the website, as well as the trophies. (where I win the 3rd place @ the wild compo with my video)

At the same time, I join the Shadow Party (French online party) where I learn behind the scenes. This is where I learn video editing and all these complexities.
