This year at Expozine I debuted the second issue of Queer Enough, a zine about queer experience in different-gender relationships. Contributors are Jimbeau, Frankie Mess, Chiquita Violette, Rose Cooper, Corin V. Barclay, Beja Alisheva, JL Long, Kaley Kennedy, Oliver Fugler, Sharday Mosurinjohn, and me... writing which comes from all over Canada and the US, and Australia too! It is now available to order here.
I was tabling with James Kirkpatrick (the other half of our collaborative art team, Dusty Peas). Both of us had our art zines too, and James had his hardcover art book/full-length downloadable album + 7-inch vinyl Before the End.
"Expozine is one of the largest small press fairs in North America, bringing together over 270 exhibitors showcasing all kinds of publications – from books to zines to graphic novels – in both English and French. The event attracts thousands of visitors as well as exhibitors from across Canada, the United States, and even Europe. It's a unique showcase of the best publications that today's small publishers and self-publishing authors and artists have to offer. Literally thousands of different publications can be found at Expozine; it's THE 'salon du livre' for readers interested in today's underground and alternative publications!"

Not Bad For London
The title Not Bad For London is based on a Jason McLean drawing where a lone tree sits next to a forked river called The Thames. The tree has big googly eyes and a flowing head of hair. But, most importantly, the tree has roots.
Living and working as an artist in London can sometimes have its challenges. We are situated between the dynamics of Toronto and Detroit, in a city where Greg Curnoe, Paterson Ewen, and Jack Chambers became national icons. Perhaps, then, it is the history, and the fact that London is a challenging place to live, that so many artists have chosen to work and stay.
Not Bad For London celebrates a group of young artists who acknowledge this past, but have forged ahead, creating their own identity and relevance. These seven artists are multi-dimensional; they draw, paint, sculpt, make films, installations, zines, and sound art. Working alone or together in collaboration, their art creates an imaginary world based on the places they visit, the colours they see, and the noises they hear. With this exhibition, you are invited to discover how each artist uses their own and their shared experiences to reflect the world in which we live.
Not Bad For London is curated by Jennie Kraehling. Many thanks to Wyn Geleynse.

Culture Days at Museum London
I had my zines at this event, and the Teenie Weenie Zine Machine too!
"Museum London's having a book sale. Look through its archive of in-house publications. Also, your favorite downtown London bookstores will be selling books on art and local history as well as a selection of historical zines. Publications by many of London's zine artists will also be featured at the event. Independent presses such as Offerings and Hunter & Cook, both out of Toronto, will also be represented, as well as London's Parker Branch. The afternoon includes drop-in activities such as button-making with Jason McLean, book-binding with Lido Pimienta, and zine creation with Jamie Q."
