Well... it's been a crazy 35 days. David and I got married, went on our honeymoon, moved into our house, found out we have to rewire the whole house and dig a ditch around it so it doesn't flood (the joys of homeownership!), reorganized the shop, started adding book inventory to the online shop, added tee inventory to the store, aaaaaaand opened two gallery shows!

Can't complain - it's been one of the best months of my life.

TWO TONES is the newest show opening at Telegraph, a music-themed show featuring two color works from

August Lipp, Chris Carfolite, Sam McKenzie (pictured), Maré Odomo, Sophia Foster-Dimino, OMOCAT, Katie Skelly, and Emily Partridge

Prints will be available at the show and online in limited editions of 75. 

Check out the Facebook event for the opening here! 

The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is THIS WEEKEND, and we will be spending our honeymoon there. 

We don't have a table, but we'll be floating around with a big portfolio full of posters, catching up with old friends, making new ones, and getting our fill of comics from some of our favorite people. If you wanna find us, your best bet would be to ask at the Youth In Decline table - we'll be heading there first thing to get a few books before they sell out. 

If you wanna find us, this is basically what we look like:

See you there, nerds!

My and David's apartment is overflowing with posters. We have a poster closet. Just for posters. We don't even have enough closet space for our clothes!  Anyway - we're always on the hunt for practical ideas on how to get these prints out of the closet and onto the walls. Thought I would share this bit of awesome with you guys:

EAT ME opens May 3rd at 5 PM EST, in store and online. Featuring ten new print editions by:

Ginette Lapalme, Ed Luce, Sloane Leong, Justin White, Andrew Stronge, Jake Lawrence, H. Caldwell Tanner, J. Brian McCrory, Azalea Haylock, and Jane Mai. 

This may be our craziest opening yet, as Kate and I will be leaving at 6 PM to go get married in a small family ceremony, and leaving the store in the hands of some capable (and very kind) friends. We can't wait!

 Honestly - David and I forgot to take photos until halfway through the night. And then we forgot again. Duh! Anyway - here's photographic proof of the following:

1.) Jes La Vecchia is a real person! Seriously - it was awesome meeting her after months of email correspondence and internet stalking. She's super sweet and crazy talented. 

2.) David and Rose from the Cville Art Blog. David does "table hands" in at least 50% of all his photos now. I suspect this will be true for our wedding pictures as well.

3.) People, comics, and art all coexist joyfully.

No photographic evidence exists, but we had a DJ! Sam (aka DJ Nick Junior) played some great music and helped turn this opening into a party.

I promise to take pictures at our next event. :/
