Canzine today and John Oswald talk

Canzine was fun today! It was packed! And, hot! I met some cool new people and got to catch up on my favourite zine Ghostpine! It’s a real work of art in my opinion. I’ve been reading it for years and got to meet Jeff Miller, the author of Ghostpine today and get a bunch of back issues! I got to hang out with Liz Worth as well (see our video blog from Canzine, coming soon). And, I sold one copy of my chapbook “Like Eden After Rain”…better luck next time, I suppose. Though, the last time I had a table at a show I also sold one copy…hmm…

Also, I caught the John Oswald (of plunderphonics infamy) talk at OCAD this afternoon. Great stuff!

Check back soon for some video that I shot of both events. Oh, and Halloween is one week away!

“Liberty Village – Somewhere In Heaven”

I made a documentary film on the Liberty Village neighborhood in Toronto called “Liberty Village – Somewhere In Heaven,” because I saw an area changing that I had come to appreciate. It was home to artists for decades and many other cool things. I used to love wandering around the colourful streets…you never knew what you’d find next…

I’ve put a couple of clips from the film online:

Liberty Village resident Corky Laing was interviewed for the film, and provided music from his band Cork. Also interviewed was photographer Taffi Rosen, and you’ll see some of her work in the film, along with other artists, developers, workers and residents of the special place called Liberty Village.
