Devin Leggett
Born in the Pyrenees to a family of staunchly capitalist sheep-herding mimes, Devin “The Juice” Leggett left country-life at the tender age of eight to make a career for himself in body-building. After an unfortunate incident involving animal-grade barbiturates and a team of East German swimmers in a Holiday Inn steam-bath, Leggett was served with a lifelong ban from amateur body building.
Distraught as a result of his setback, Leggett made his way by appearing in animated adult films. During this time he started a freelance “rice-message” company, in which he painstakingly wrote custom prose on single grains of rice without the assistance of robotics or mechanical aids of any kind. He later referenced this as a “personal renaissance”. (His works from this period have since become prized items amongst international museums and collectors.)
Given the prosperity that came from his unique artworks, he relocated to Timmins, Ontario, where he built a house in the shape of a large inverted ice-cream cone. During this time, which Leggett references as his “blue period”, he returned to his roots and immersed himself in free-form mime. Since then he has become well-regarded for his performance works, in which he dresses in business attire and performs impromptu mime-sessions at local skating rinks and for Rotary Clubs. (A little known fact is that Devin’s aunt is in-fact famed country singer EmmyLou Harris.)
