I’m a morning person with the help of a cup of black coffee.
Drawing item you can’t live without? 

Pans of artist watercolour you can buy in neatly wrapped bundles.
What music puts you in your groove?

Skinny little three- year- olds with large heads and wise expressions.
If you were an animal, what would you be?

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson with Dulac’s illustrations, it enthralled and terrified me as a child.
