CATS ARE DANGEROUS

TEN YEARS AGO (hard to believe), I went on tour (Fun Tour!) with The Sick Lipstick (Toronto band who are no longer), as their roadie. We drove around the United States with An Albatross (from Wilkes-Barre PA), spanning miles in the summer highway heat, sleeping on dirty floors and staying up until all hours of the night in various rock venues and creative spaces.

I shot several rolls of film with my SLR and Instamatic cameras, and recently scanned a whole bunch of those photos and put them up for display HERE.

SKIN: the seduction of surface // Mosom Maskwa - Pawakan (Grandfather Bear - Spirit-Guides) // On a Path to Learning: Early Nova Scotian Women Artists


[More from the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia]

I nearly slipped on the floor near the front desk, my loafers were wet from the rain outside. It was a Thursday evening, free entry. Grey and rainy outside and perfect to be wandering alone inside the gallery on such a night.

At the gift shop I asked the lady if we could unwrap the plastic from a particular book on street art. I admit, I wanted to see inside because the author had a Finnish name. Turned out the book was mediocre, and I didn't purchase it though I felt obliged to.

On a Path to Learning:


I love samplers and this one is disintegrating which makes it all the more lovely.

Very Small Selection from U.K. Notebook... + Tom





While I was in Scotland. I fell upon Analogue Books...


where I surprisingly discovered a book made by my friend Tom Cops!...


Of course I bought it, and finally met the guy several days later, for real, in person for the first time ever, after being zine penpals for over a decade!

Tintypes from Bellefonte.

Bellefonte, Pennsylvania has one of the best antique centres I've ever seen. On a trip to PA in November, we went to the Plaza Centre Antique Gallery two days in a row. We spent several hours there each visit, and it still wasn't enough time to thoroughly look through everything. A collector's dream and worst nightmare all at the same time.

These are great:
