Never ending editing.

I've been working on these particular pieces of writing for about five years now!

Someone.

Help.

Me.

Meticulous, as always.

Hand cut & scored & glued = time consuming!
This will probably be Untitled Seven.

Zines saved my life.

Just for fun, I'm posting a few pages from my first zine, Benjurmire. I made it with a couple of friends, so I'm no longer sure who wrote what, but it amuses and impresses me what we came up with when we were fifteen!

Coincidentally, I went for a drive with a friend last night (as I found myself in the suburbs at the same time as she, both of us visiting family) and one of our stops was our old high school. Despite that time being a regular shitty/weird high school experience, it is where I was first exposed to zines and when I began making my own.

Regardless, I shook my fist at the building and she took a photo to commemorate the moment.

Field Trip: The Russian Avant-Garde

Finally got around to seeing the Chagall & The Russian Avant-Garde exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It wasn't spectacular, but there were a few highlights in the show, making it a (mostly) worthwhile visit...

One of my most favourite artists is El Lissitzky, so I was quite excited to see this piece, up close and in real life!


I must confess, seeing it resulted in a lot of smiling (inside and out) and wide-eyed gawking!

And Rodchenko, love love love his work as well:



There was also a separate and smaller exhibit being shown entitled Constructing Utopia: Books and Posters from Revolutionary Russia (1910-1940). This collection definitely contained more of the kind of work I was interested in seeing:
