I'm glad to see a,j is starting to get her old irreverent sense of humour back in a big way, she posted a great rant on her blog today in response to a post on the Zeks's blog.

This weekend, Sunday from 11am to 6pm, you'll find me at Expozine 2004: Montreal's 3rd Annual Small Press, Comic, and Zine Fair! WooHoo!

I'll be selling my book RevolveR One at a discounted price of $6 [normally goes for $6.95] so if you haven’t already bought a copy come on down and get yours, singed sealed and delivered to your hand from mine. And rest assured that every last cent goes to a good cause, me. I may be a bit blurry eyed, also have a serious deadline right now I have to meet [you'll se the results in the front pages of the next issue of Previews!] so i apologize in advance if I drool or pass out on your copy while signing it. I'll also have a selection of other stuff, prints, jam zines and the like. Hope to see you there!

Event details

Announcing Expozine 2004: Montreal's 3rd Annual Small Press, Comic, and Zine Fair!
Sunday, November 28, 11 - 6 p.m.
Station C, 1450 Ste. Catherine St. E.
corner of Plessis (metro Beaudry). Admission FREE.

This day-long event brings together over 140 creators of all kinds of printed matter ‹ in English and in French ‹ for one of the great culture fairs of the city.

Expozine was born in 2002 to provide a place where publications outside the mainstream media can reach the reading public. It is also a place where members of the small press community and local writers and artists can make new connections with each other. So far, it has been a huge success: thousands of people have discovered hundreds of publications, and more and more people take part each year.

Montreal is rich in small press activity, with an internationally renowned comics scene and a thriving small press and zine community. All of these are represented at Expozine, which this year also includes more publishers from outside Montreal than ever before.

We hope you make the most of this rare opportunity to see all of this diversity showcased in one place. Browse! Shop! Meet the creators! And most of all, have fun!

Expozine is sponsored in part by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Here's some of the latest.

HI all. Here's two new illos, just commissioned this week.

The first, my $work$ this month, is for Citat & Journalistgruppen / On magazine for Ericsson. It goes with a piece comparing fungal networks and wireless ones on a metaphorical level, an abstract rallying call for the future evolution of the industry mostly emphasizing network growth as key to it's evolution.

The second, much less corporate job is for Kitchen Sink magazine out of SF, done gratuite. This one goes with a story by David Jasper, titled 'Dave Decker'. An account of a clash between Dave Decker [as heckler] & Neal Pollack, which the author instigated as a bird in the subjects ear on the occasion, and the larger network of media insider social entanglements that loomed over the whole thing. Valley of the dolls but with punk/underground literary scenesters in place of conspiring middle class dragon ladies…

...hooo, shit, I should have done him in a dress!
Well, to late now. Here are some of the rough drafts from these.

Quite pleased with em'. Now if i could just get a few more gigs like them both, any potential clients out there reading this, if I may be so bold you'll find my illustration portfolio overflowing with grade 'A' stuff. But I must have more! Give me more to do please [ideally in exchange for something I can turn into food and rent :)]
