Marie-Claude Bourbonnais in Soda Pop Miniatures’ game Tentacle Bento

Ninja Divivion – Soda Pop Miniatures is an American tabletop games company.  They released their first card game, Tentacle Bento, a few years ago and they introduced me as a character in the game.  It was the beginning of what would become a long collaboration.

I made the costume according to what the creative team had designed for me.  I sewed the shirt and shorts, the wool bomber jacket with genuine leather sleeves.  I created the logo in Photoshop so both the companies that made the chenille patch and the printing on the shirt could do custom stuff for me.  The shoes were simple enough, so I could use store-bought shoes.  I started taking shoemaking courses only a few years later. All these pics where shot in a real locker room in about an hour.  I wasn’t building photosets in my workshop at the time. My intention was to make some candid looking shots.
