Joannie Goulet
Artist | Professional | Design & Interfaces
Canada
I'm a 28 years old woman from the Quebec province, Canada.
I'm a French Canadian so please forgive my sometimes dodgy English. I'm a diplomed graphic designer and I briefly studied animation too but it wasn't for me.

I work for a small printer as a prepress tech and graphic designer. I design leaflets, business card, posters, books,… if it can be printed, I probably did it at one point.
I also do some odd jobs for a serigraphy business and a webdesign business as well.

Painting is a hobby for me but one I take very seriously. It's a very useful complementary skill to my job and gives me so much fun! I mostly do digital art but I tried my hand at pretty much everything when it comes to visual arts. I also like photography and sculpture but I'm just a beginner in these fields. I paint mostly animals but I'll throw in an humanoid figure in once in a while for variety's sake.

Please, never be afraid to post critics on my work. I had teachers in college that used some of my art as examples of what not to do and call it rubish. That do wonder for the ego and teach you to take critic for what it is: the occasion to learn from you mistakes. I like comments and favs but I love critics.

Thanks for stopping by!

2011 was definitely a big year for us!

-I had dreamed of visiting England for years and finally made it real this year. 2 weeks of pure carefree happiness!

-Then I was contacted by the digital painting magazine Imagine FX and was offered a place on their Issue n80 DVD. I'm so honored!

-And last saturday, I just learned that I'm going to be a mom! Me and my other half, Dominic, are so excited about this! :D


I hope you all have a great time during the holidays (no matter what you celebrate) and have as much good news as I had!

Love you all! :heart:

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

Hello! Sorry for the very late reply I'm slowly sorting through my message center! XD
The icon was made using a photo I took of a Short-Eared Owl. You can see the original here: [link]
