March Finds

It’s been a busy March.

The OCAD Zine Fair was held on March 3, in the lobby of 100 McCaul. It was a smallish affair but lots of goodies.

The zine fair was taking place in the OCAD Learning Zone as well. Daniela continued making free buttons post fair. Mick Hemans gets one. Roomies Eunice Luk and Andrea Manica exhibit their art works on the wall of the zine library.

Sometime during the month I dropped by the Beguiling and picked up wildman painter/drawer Casey McGlynn’s new zine masterwork. It’s chock full of his colourful rawk n’ roll drawings. References to food, love, Satan, Star Wars, and vans create a very potent mix!
