LADY BO


The ground-breakin' Lady Bo, who, to this day, is still going strong! Many of you know Bo Diddley, but do you know "Lady Bo", who claims to be the first-ever paid female lead guitarist in a band?

MIRIAM LINNA


Super-inspiring co-founder of Norton Records, Miriam Linna, with her look-alike-sculpture, hangin' out backstage at Norton's 25th Anniversary bash last November in Nyc, with a somewhat disturbed-lookin' Mighty Gaylord...

ANDRE WILLIAMS




I love Andre "Mr. Rhythm" Williams. I met him a few times and think he's just the coolest. I made this painting shortly before giving birth to my beautiful baby daughter. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

BILLY 'N MIRIAM

TOM KENNY, voice of SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS...

KK Norris of ATTICVILLE.com

This is one of my favorite dolls. I met KK on ETSY, where she runs her shop "ATTICVILLE". KK's got an amazing collection of hard-to-find vintage threads, make sure you check out her stuff...

Little Richard!




Here's a recent painting I did of Little Richard. Last christmas, I got this super cool kids' book, Honky Tonk Heroes and Hillbilly Angels, by the amazing Laura Levine and it totally reignited my passion for painting. I love her stuff, I'm sure you will, too.

LYSE 'N ARTHUR



Here are two early dolls I made: the super-talented Lyse and the legendary Arthur Cossette (ex-Jaguars)  of Lyse and the Hot Kitchen ! Catch them at a local show... you won't be disappointed!

SARA SABBAH


Here you can see snapshots of the creative process involved in making a doll. From the initial photograph sent to me, to the fabric selection and cutting process, all the way to the final product!

BLOODSHOT BILL


This is the very first sculpture I ever made. In fact, it was just supposed to be a head, but it escalated into the full one-man-band-look-alike-sculpture that you see here before your very eyes!

Two women on Parc Ave


My all-time favorite! I was waiting for the 80 on Parc Avenue when I noticed these two. Totally love everything about this photo.

Two women on Mont Royal


I saw these two lovely ladies on Mont Royal, a few blocks down from St. Hubert. What I love about this picture is the fact that just from this one snapshot you can get such a distinct sense as to what each of them is like. Really, I'm totally into how they compliment and define each other... 

Couple on St. Mathieu


This is a photo I took while I was studying photography at Concordia. I basically did a b&w series on people I found interesting.  Nothing more to it, nothing less.  I ran into this couple on St. Mathieu and St. Catherine.

Four women on Ontario relaxing



One of the first street-photography-type of photos I ever took. I was just walking around Montreal, when I happened across these lovely ladies on Ontario, close to St. Laurent. They willingly obliged to having their photo taken... oh, also, check out the drawing I made of the woman in white, also one of the first ink drawings I ever made:
