Who we are!
We are Iliana Emilia & Monty — A Titi (Auntie) and Niece duo based in Brooklyn, NYC!
Born and raised in NYC, Monty is an illustrator and SVA graduate who brings a quirky charm and a sketchbook full of daydreams to everything she creates. When she isn’t doodling, you can find Monty binge-watching Bravo shows and petting the local Bodega cat.
Iliana Emilia is a multidisciplinary artist who has made Brooklyn her home. After spending 30+ years working as a graphic artist and art director for childrenwear companies (Calvin Klean Jeans Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand, Gap, Guess, Disney, Rocawear, Coogi) she decided to put her energy and creativity in something closer to her. When she isn’t working at her studio, you can find her dragging her kayak out of the family townhouse.
At Can of Sardines, we believe amazing things can come in small packages!
