Wanted: Artists with day jobs

Shelley Tepperman, a wonderful documentary filmmaker here in Montreal, is planning a project about artists who have day jobs. I think she's looking more for Wallace Stevens types (insurance executive/poet) than someone waiting tables three nights a week. But here's what she writes:

"I'm seeking artists across the country [Canada] of all ages, who are recognized and esteemed by peers in their field but who, for various reasons, continue to work at a day job they like and are not just waiting to retire as soon as they "make it". The more unexpected the contrast between the person's day job and art form, the better. (E.g a musician who teaches music is too obvious... ) I may also be able to include an American character, so feel free to suggest artists south of the border if they fit the profile."

If you're interested, drop her a line at sheltep@gmail.com, with the subject line "Artists with day jobs."
