Ep 6 - Surviving Lockdown with Mat Let

I speak with artist and travel-sketcher Matthieu Letellier (Mat Let) about his experience as an artist under lockdown in Paris. Mat just self-published a book titled “28 m2”, referring to the size of his apartment. In a way, it was also the size of his world during lockdown. He records the view out of his window, rues the loss of previously made plans, and finds beauty in unexpected places. We talk about how he became an artist while trying to tell stories of the world.
