Another page from the new zine! I bought this chair at the Salvation Army in Sackville about 10 years ago. If you sit on it, the legs fall off. I still can't seem to part with it.
I've finally finally finished my zine about collecting chairs that I've been working on slowly for over a year now! Sending it to print today! Here's page 10.
I made this cute, little illustration for my website yesterday. This was my best attempt at trying to sell people on joining my Patreon. There will be poems? And drawings of flowers probably?

SPELL FOR THE END OF THE WORLD
I just put together this new version of a zine from 2020, with a new cover and new page configurations and I'm really excited about it! It's on my web store and going out to the Snail Mail Club next month! 🐌💌 My phone camera could not seem to get the colour of the cover quite right, but I promise in print, the text is more legible! (Made with support from CAFKA-Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area, Canada Council for the Arts, and CBC/Radio-Canada. Thank you!)
A new little greeting card that I sent out to the Snail Mail Club this month.
BEGINNER’S BOOK OF SPELLS
A new poetry zine I finished in May about my 90s/early 2000s suburban childhood, featuring this older poem about growing up on romcoms, but also some new writing.
I just sent this out to the Snail Mail Club but it’s also on my web store for $10!

SMALL CONSOLATIONS FOR LETTING IT SLIP BY UNNOTICED
A little karaoke poem I wrote back in 2019. Between writing and illustrating this poem, a global pandemic happened, the bar shut down, we stopped singing karaoke, we found new places to sing karaoke, I painted my kitchen, and I got a cat. I miss the old Sackville but I like the new Sackville too.
