Poster design by Nathan Enkel

I will be a vendor at the upcoming Third Annual Final Notice Zine Fair, taking place at XPACE Cultural Centre on November 24th! It will be the last event XPACE will be hosting at their current location before moving.

Come check out handmade merch from wickedly talented local artists; including zines, prints, comics, small press editions and other crafty goodies!

My new line of 100% recycled, handmade card/envelope sets, "Wood Panel That Shit!" zine, and assorted prints and jewellery will be for sale. This will also be the launch of my new acorn necklace line, made from real High Park acorns!

Also for sale will be gorgeous handmade stockings, tote bags and other goods by With A Y Designs. If you attended last years' OCADU Book Arts Fair then you know that these stockings are hot tamales, and you'd better get them before they're all gone!
