Back from NYC

The Met

My friend Josh with my prints at One Every Day at the EFA Project Space


Monkey Skeleton

I was in New York from Saturday to Tuesday. I went down for the opening of One Every Day. The show was really cool, and the curators and organizers couldn't have been nicer. It's up until December 19th. This was my last trip out of town for a while. I have been in four shows in six weeks, in three different cities, it's been fun but now I need to stay home, get Frazer/Montague Design going and prepare for the next round of shows.

Lately I have been using my iPhone a lot more, it is a great way to take visual notes. I have a Flickr set from this Fall's travels
here.

Daily Book Graphics #248 / We Live in Canada






Canada has no greater friend than me (I can literally see Canada from my front porch), but this 1985 book does the citizens of that country no favors. The book features Canadians talking about their lives in their own words. The photography is amazingly bad and the pull quotes are boring and stupid.
