Nous sommes un couple de Montréalais illustrateurs et végétariens.
Après avoir profité de voyages en coachsurfing, c'est à notre tour de vous recevoir dans notre canapé-lit :)

Au plaisir de vous rencontrer (près du métro JeanTalon).

Laurence et Julien

(english)
I'm a Montreal based vegetarian illustrator.

Born in France and living in Montréal since 2008 with my girlfriend. I'm interested in meeting new people, share stories and a meal, and look at new places to sketch :)

I could describe myselft as an open-minded, grounded and positive person.
I work as an illustrator. Documentary books, albums for kids, book covers and board games illustration are my everyday reality and I love my work. I love to give workshop to young kids and teach them about illustration! They are always inspiring.

On my free time, I'm involved as projet coordinator in an non-profit organisation called Cocotom who raises awareness about seasonal fruits and vegetables. I care about environmental issues and just trying to do my part through my food and lifestyle choices.

I have the pleasure to run the Montreal team of Skinjackin.com which is basically people hand-drawing temporary tatoos with puns at special events :) I always have some removable tatoo pens in my backpack :)

Music is one of my hobbies. I play ukelele and some piano.

Finally I can share swing dancing beginner lessons, some uke bases, I can create for you a custom acrylic based and temporary tatoo (until your next shower) and tons of travel stories.

I definetly look forward to meeting new people, and learning from them !
