​Malheureusement, il est difficile de faire un masque parfait qui fit pour tous les visages. Tout comme trouver la paire de jeans parfaite, trouver le masque parfait est une tâche insaisissable! Ha ha! Avec le temps, l’elastique se relâchera un peu. Cela dit, si vous le trouvez vraiment petit, vous pouvez toujours nous le faire savoir et nous pouvons trouver une solution ensemble. Ou vous pouvez, si vous devez le porter le plus tôt possible, couper l'élastique et trouver un vieux lacet (pas trop stincky cependant) pour créer un wrap autour de tête. (photos à venir)

​il y a quelques options ici pour vous. Vous pouvez peut-être essayer de manger plus pour que votre tête grossisse, mais cette solution n'est pas notre préférée car vous pourrez utiliser votre masque mais le reste de vos vêtements ne fera plus, donc pas gagnant-gagnant! Une solution plus simple est de vous procurer un gadget de réglage de grandeur qui peut être utilisé avec des masques où vous portez votre masque attaché derrière votre tête ou cou. Il est également appelé un économiseur d'oreille, donc cette solution semble être plus gagnante! OU tout simplement faire un noeud dans l'élastiquie.

nous fabriquons et expédions le masque aussi vite que possible (merci de nous avoir mis au travail!) Mais cela dit, il y a un peu une surcharge supplémentaire de courrier expédié en ce moment et nous comprenons que les travaillieur de la poste doivent aussi travailler dans des circonstances très différentes. Lorsque nous le pouvons, nous vous apportons vos masques ou payons également un peu plus cher pour l'expédition express. Ceci dit, svp soyez patient et le masque arrivera aussi vite que possible. Merci

​oui, tout à fait possible. La couture, c'est un peu comme conduire une voiture et parfois je suis excité et je conduis un peu trop vite. J'aime à penser que chaque masque est sa propre création unique et un peu comme les arbres de la forêt, ils poussent différemment l'un de l'autre. Ceci dit, nous améliorons notre patron rapidement vu les cisrcomstances et nous avons maintenant retravaillé nos masques 3 fois déjà. (voir omages de l'évolution rapide)
​Une chose est sûre, bien que vos masques ne soient pas à 100% symétrique quelque fois, ils sont construits avec beaucoup de soin et en utilisant des matériaux de qualité. De plus, il est imprégné d'amour et de super pouvoirs pour que vous vous sentiez bien en le portant.

​Pensez aux jeans troué mais qui peuvent durer toute une vie même s'ils ont des fils..Eh bien,.. c'est complètement différent de nos masques! Haha!.. mais le point est que quelques fils ne veux pas pas dire que le tout va s'effondrer. Cela signifie simplement que le tissu s'installe et une fois que vous le lavez et peut-être coupez ce fil, il restera stable et aura l'air super mignon et durera longtemps lomgtemps.

​How cool is that so many local makers have jumped in the help with making masks for everyone! 
We think its awesome.

At Sofs we too have focused our energy to filling the demand and here is a few things we have learned so far as we have been researching on the topic.  For those of you who are curious about our masks you can find a wide selection on our ETSY boutique.
​
As well, our mask follow the government of Canada's recommendations. Please read more about that here. 

It is very hard to speak on this subject as more research is being done all the time.
From what we know thus far, it does seem that many layers are better then just the one. This article seems to be a favortie resources when looking at what kind of material to use, however I cannot speak on the accuracy of their information.

SOAPY WATER:  Mainly if you need to wear the mask for a shorter period of time washing your glasses in soapy water and letting them air dry will add a layer of film that will help with fog. This tecnique will only last for half hour so you will need to repeat.  

USE PIPE-CLEANERS INSERTS:  You can use a metal wire or pipe-cleaners to insert in the mask pocket and create a better form around your nose. We found that this combine with the other tricks mentionned here works best.

WEAR GRANNY STYLE:  Another way that will help is to lower your glasses all the way to the tip of your nose.

About my buisness
Komico is one of the first comic book store in Montreal.

Founded in 1982 by comic book passionates, it has been through tough times like the fire back in 2014 that forced one of our many changes of address. In the words of Lee in August 2, 2017 for the 35th anniversary of Komico:

August 1st we celebrated our 35th year in business….(so hard to believe). We were not the first shop to open, I believe we were the 3rd after Nova and Cap Quebec, but we seem to have stood the test of time, nonetheless. Nova has been closed for several years, and Cap is no longer run by the original owner, so I guess I am old man comic in this city now…. I have met so many awesome people through this business, and shared so many stories of my trials and tribulations. Had some amazing times, and some disastrous ones as well.

As for the customers, obviously too many to name, but many are regarded as friends and are no longer just customers, Tons of assholes too, but they always provide the best stories! I have seen tremendous changes in the industry as you can well imagine, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the old days, before there were so many electronic diversions. People lined up outside the shop to pick up Alpha Flight #1 or Wolverine #1, the passion people had for comics was amazing….those were days! So in the words of the Grateful Dead……What a long strange trip it’s been….

How did you learn to be a business owner?
I learnt the thinking processes in school but the hands on business woman learning definitely came form dad first and then peers and mentors.

Your process when you make decisions about your business. Do you think about all steps first, prepare a plan and then execute it or do you just make a move and go with your gut? What do you normally do?
I’m a planner.  Although I realize that perfect planning is an illusion and you should always be ready to live plan B and sometime C... Decision making process is pretty rigourous process for me.  I try and make sure to ask my team what they think so we can avoid blind spots!  That said my risk aversion is low so I’m not scared to risk it if my gut is telling me too!  

Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? 
Definitely an extrovert although I need my alone time.

If you could not be a business owner what would you be doing? 
If I didn’t own my business I think I would have been in kinesiology or coaching a sport!  I always admired the coach-athlete relationship.  It’s actually reflects in my management style a little I think!  I can be really tough on my crew but I truly believe that’s it’s because I know they can take it and we can do better as a team!  And of course...we celebrate when we succeed!

If you won the lottery would you still continue to own your business or you would do something else?
Not sure about le lottery thing.  I love the people I work with.  I think I would just do things differently and more charity work.

What does retirement mean to you? Are you looking forward to a time where you will retire from doing what you do? 
Retirement...I am looking forward to doing some travelling and having a bit more time and a less busy schedule.  Sailing also!  I think that by the time I’m ready to leave I will have trusted someone to take over by then and it will be important for me to step down and leave room for new ideas and leadership!

If you had to choose your spirit animal, what would it be?
An eagle! I dream of flying regularly!

And your favorite fruit?
Mango!

How did you learn your craft?
​I studied Fine Art and Illustration. I went to College of Fine Art and Design in India and have a Bachelors in Fine Art degree and I also have a Masters in Fine Arts with a specialization in communication design.

Your process? Do you think about all steps first, prepare a plan and execute it, or do you just improvise?
My process is varied as my subject. A lot of times it is spontaneous, instinctive. I love to draw and paint intuitively. Moods, feelings and associations play a big role in my art. I love abstracting these moods feelings and emotions.

Abstracting nature comes very intuitively. I love color and a lot of times things come together very spontaneously, surprising me with the end result.
I also like planning some of pieces. I sketch them out, doodling constantly. I try textures before applying them. I like to layer, explore, perfect a line, shape or form before applying them in my art.

Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? 
I would like to think of myself as an extrovert, but I love to internalize a lot, I like solitude, silence, like the quiet that comes when  I stop, still and listen to my self think.

If you could not be a maker what would you be doing? 
I would most certainly have been in literature, journalism or languages if I were not an artist. I love words, love to write. I wrote poetry, articles, stories and still continue to write to keep my love for the written word alive.

If you won the lottery would you still continue to make stuff and sell it?
If I were to ever win the lottery, I would never stop drawing or creating. Once a maker, always a maker. My hands, mind are always in motion. I would love to make more art. Explore more, things k out of the box, scale and blur the boundaries between median. No amount of money could ever change that.

What does retirement mean to you?
I hope I go into my twilight years with a brush in my hand, paint splattered fingers and continuously pushing myself to create. The best part of choosing to live my passion is that there is no expiration date. I will always be an artist, infinitely.

If you had to choose your spirit animal, what would it be?
 my spirit animal would have to be a zebra. I guess the fact that they are black and white and beautiful has something to do with it.

And your favorite fruit?
My fav fruit has to be blueberries. Power packed, intense and good for you
