New Zines for Expozine 2024




I have made three new zines for this years edition of Montreals rollicking zine fair.

Thematically, these are charged with the beauty and brutality we witness routinely in our world.

I’ve only made forty of each and these will be available exclusively in person at the fair.

This year I also made a little description card so folks not into chatting can have a guess about what’s going on at my table!

Hold your pencil higher up so it feels like you have less control over where it would go if you pushed down and away while letting go. Add branches to the lines you've made. Twist the pencil with each slight release. See how and where it goes. Repeat.

A visually poetic month

Recently I've had the good fortune of having three visual poetry mentions in three different places on the internet.

First off Nico Vassilakis invited me to participate in Singular Vispo :: First Encounters.
The challenge was to select one piece of instrumental visual poetry that got my personal ball rolling. Here is my effort:

Secondly, Amanda Earl asked me to participate in Brick Books celebration of Canadian concrete and visual poetry. I chose one piece from a series entitled New Value Black to showcase.

Thirdly Ian Whistle kindly featured the entire series mentioned above on his blog h&
