My Bio
Alrighty. I'm not a trained visual artist. I have a Masters' in writing music for movies.

Yep.

And it's a really tough business to get into if you stick to your ethics/preferences and don't always want to do zombie movies (though there are some great zombie movies out there).

So ... right now, my life has consisted of studies at McGill University in Music Composition, a short year-long break in French Guiana to do volunteer work and test my limits as a person, then my Masters' at Université de Montréal. I've been freelancing ever since I've been out of school, while working as a cashier at a health food store, and only being able to survive off just music not long ago.

I've continually written music for friends, and am currently working on musical commissions on top of working part-time as composer for a social development video production company (Digital Development Communications International), playing in a wonderful band called The Hidden Words (look us up!) and ... somehow, I manage.

Yep.

But sometimes, when all the music I write is all in my head and I long to do something with my hands, I draw, or craft, or sew. And that's what you get to see here.

Favourite Visual Artist
Currently enjoying the works of Michel Rabagliati, Craig Thompson, and Faith Erin Hicks - always a fan of Hergé since I was 6.
Favourite Movies
Gattaca has a special place in my heart.
Favourite TV Shows
Um - I watch a lot of randomthings here and there, whenever I have time.
Favourite Bands / Musical Artists
Radiohead, Yoko Kanno, Oliver Schroer, Owen Pallett, Air, Aphex Twin, Steve Reich, Michael Nymann, Meredith Monk - anything in any genre that's well-crafted.
Favourite Books
The Giver. A Wizard of Earthsea. Le parfum. Le petit prince. And then all the graphic novels: the Paul series, things from First Second publishers (Friends With Boys, Tune) ... er, I'll stop now ...
Favourite Writers
I suck. I can't think of one specific writer. That's because I'm terrible at judging the quality of litterature. To the point that I'll always remember the melody & orchestration of a song - but never, ever the lyrics.
Favourite Games
Chrono Trigger. Old school! (Though Rock Band is really entertaining me at friends' parties - wheeee, wielding drumsticks!)
Favourite Gaming Platform
I never owned anything other than a Sega and a SNES - and those were my brother's. So no favourites.
Tools of the Trade
Pencil. Any black pen. Scanner. Any image editor available. French Grey Markers. Bamboo Wacom tablet
Other Interests
Film Scoring; Cartooning; Traveling; Discussing stuff! Discovering new stuff! Learning stuff!
