September Show Poster!

And here's the poster for our next show! By now you know the artist, of course - Mr. Fort Polio himself, Ryan Halpenny. Where he got the idea from is anyone's guess...

Another show!

Last night, No No Zero played Double Double Land with Ghostlight (here's some pictures of Philippe Blanchard's projections at the show). Today, I am happy to announce we're playing another fun show less than a month from now.

The jerk is out for a while getting buzzed. Stay tuned for more.

Free Drawings 8 Poster!

Just released today, here's Jesjit Gill's poster for the upcoming Free Drawings 8 release show at Double Double Land August 27th.

Don't misunderstand, the show is only *three* bones.

Free Drawings #8 is out now!

With the release of its eighth ish, it would seem Jesjit Gill is taking his Free Drawings series of crazy, drippy newsprint comics out behind the barn and shooting it in the head. And that is very sad, for this was perhaps the greatest free collection of its kind that Toronto has ever seen.

If it must be the end, at least it promises to be a glorious one. #8 includes the work of the following sick minds: Seth Scriver, Adam Buttrick, Chris Kline, Owen Plummer, Matt King, Luke Ramsey, Mark Connery, Peter Kalyniuk, Fiona Smyth, Marc Bell, Peter Thompson, Stephen Appleby Barr, Hugh Langis, Manfred Naescher, Morgan Criger, Nadina Tandy, Amy Bowles, Tad Michalak, Laura Mccoy, Keith Herzik, Jacob Whibley, Adrienne Kammerer, Lane Milburn, Zoe Barcza, Bill Mcwright, Steph Davidson, Alex Mackenzie, Tomas Del Balso, Victor Kerlow, Vanessa Rieger, Juliana Eye, Dave Weir, Leon Sadler, Marco Landini, Ginette Lapalme, Michael Comeau, Pete Dako, and Michael Deforge.

Jesjit is celebrating the release with an August 27th show at Double Double Land, featuring projections by Philippe Blanchard, Adrienne Kammerer and Michael Comeau spinning the wax fantastic, Ghostlight melting your brain, and No No Zero quickening your sex pulse. Admission is $3.

Marilyn at Santa Monica Beach 1962!

Thanks go out to Anonymous, who tipped us off that the photos of Marilyn Monroe I asked about earlier were taken by George Barris in July of '62 at Santa Monica Beach. They are in fact some of the last photographs taken of Marilyn before she died (Barris and Monroe were working on a piece for Cosmopolitan but were also said to be discussing a book project together).



Youtube has a great clip of the shoot at Santa Monica up - about the 2:12 mark, we get some tantalizing footage of Marilyn playing with seaweed again.
