about: I've been doing webcomics for quite a while now. I published my first project, Cool Cat Studio, back in 2000. Since then, I've worked/collaborated on many webcomics, such as Penny &amp; Aggie (first artist,) Ménage à 3 (Rated R/NSFW,) Eerie Cuties, Magick Chicks, and Sticky Dilly Buns. Most of these comics are part of Pixie Trix Comix. On occasion, I do penciling work for Archie Comics, e.g., Archie #635, #636, #639 &amp; # 646. I sometimes do covers and little stories in the digests as well.Before comics, I was a graphic designer who worked at Avenue Design Group in Ottawa. I would design logos, layout ads for newspapers... stuff like that. And before THAT, I was a bassist in the Quebec all-girl band, Barbarella.

This was early 1990s, when I was in my early twenties (I was born June 16, 1970.)Schooling wise, I did my high school at l'ESN in Bathurst, NB. I studied Visual Arts for a year at l'Université de Moncton, and I got a college degree in graphic design from La Cité Collégiale in Ottawa.I've lived in New Brunswick (still do,) Montreal, Ottawa/Gatineau, and even Schefferville! (Google it) My strongest influence as a comic artist is Dan DeCarlo, but cartoonists like Jim Davis, Uderzo, Rumiko Takahashi, and Yumiko Igarashi have also influenced me, and given me the drive to do what I do. Music influences me too. The Pixies and Cheap Trick have had a great impact on me. So did Kiss back in the 1970s. ...more
