Michel is a print design guru based in Montreal, who used to run his shop in the same office as Plank. Small world! It gets smaller. He used to live in the same buidling as little sister Chrissie, and had her boyfriend, Matthew, as an employee!
He hired me a few times, too.
Although I’ve never had a chance to sit and talk face to face with Michel- we have had our iChats, and I’ve seen his travel pictures- oh boy they are nice!
Always a font of good advice- he usually is the first to get bombarded with questions about illustrative problems, or all stuff Apple. He does good work, and has seemingly dabbled in every corner of the print design business. Good guy to know!
