Samantha Leriche-Gionet (dA username: *Boum ) from Montreal, Quebec (Canada, eh). Samantha has been piling up animation paper for eight years, armed with a college diploma in Traditional Animation and a BFA in Film Animation that’s hot out of the oven as of 2010. Her illustrated work has been featured in artbooks such as DRAWGASMIC and SUGAR NINJAS, and in comic anthologies like MERURE. Recently, she’s been enjoying vintage eighties apparel (probably more than she should), hanging around in photobooths increasingly, sporting weird hairdos, Boy George-ish hats and bright aqua shoes just to spite her mother, and stuffing her face with chocolate gelato as a reward for a job well done.
