Expozine Hustle!
As we are a day from Expozine in Montreal I wanted to highlight some of the awesome projects that I am excited to see for the first time. One of my favorite collage artists, Carl David Ruttan, has just recently released a book called Printoptik with Maison Kasini, one of my favorite Galleries. His miniature collages are digitally enlarged and the vivid detail in his found materials makes this a very unique body of collages.
Papirmasse will be debuting their 2011 Folio, which collects all the amazing issues of this incredible mail-art monthly that published a collage and story of mine back in Issue #14. It is also the perfect time to renew your subscription, or even subscribe for the first time!
I am so excited to see the recent debut from Trapshot Archives. Four new titles that range from art to poetry to fiction, all well produced and stunning in design. I can’t wait to get my hands on some copies of these!
Grace: A Graphic Novel, was recently released by Madelaine Richards and her brother. Sadly I was in the Yukon when it launched, but I am thrilled to see it now! After many moons in artful pursuit, the siblings Richards have crafted a modern day fable, woven of fashionista wishes and run away opportunities. Grace is truly a design lover’s dream comic: Unparalleled grand & colorful galas, it’s a story about the downside of vanity & obsession.
I am also really thrilled to see the latest issue of Four Minutes to Midnight which celebrates Ten Years of Expozine! And lastly, I can’t wait to see all the things I never expected to see, the mini-zines, posters, photocopies, broadsheets, postcards, and other nifty things!

Anthony Gerace is a photographer, graphic designer, collagist and writer living and working in London, spending a lot of time in the darkroom and listening to way too much sentimental music whilst there. He has exhibited in several group shows in Toronto and recently had his first solo show at Narwhal Projects, a series of portraits and an installation entitled “We Must Become the Road We Walk On.” The text pieces featured here are posters from that series. He tries to make one thing that he’s proud of every day.
Last week I fell asleep on a utility knife and didn’t realize it until the next morning.
