Biography

He was born in Paris and mastered the art of sheet metal embossing at a young age before crossing the Atlantic Ocean in the 1930s to ply his trade in North America.

Gilles' clientele included Walt Disney, Pope Pius XII, and numerous churches across North America. His family carries on his work today, and they have a museum in Château-Richer near Quebec City, which showcases Gilles' and the family's works. Albert Gilles was also one of the main designers who helped design and repair the copper roofing of the Chateau Frontenac. He opened up his own business in Beaupre, Quebec located at 7450, boul. Sainte-Anne, Chateau-Richer, Quebec, Canada.

Gilles famously once said, "I am not an artist, just an artisan."

gollark: The Random Stuff API also connects to *this*, for reasons (it used to do more with this, but that got split out into ircsysmon), and broadcasts the current track into a dedicated #o channel also bridged to the Test 2 Discord guild, which a bunch of my stuff runs in.

gollark: Onto the other bits of the diagram. ngircd is an IRC server, and the osmarks.net instance of this participates in APIONET.

gollark: It was actually on caddy for quite a while, but v2 annoyed me, so I went back to nginx.
