Missed Connections, Montreal Confections
262 days ago · Sarah Lazarovic
• Back from Montreal, having consumed too much raw milk cheese to feel entirely awake on this Monday morning. We saw this show at the MACM (yes, I've rhapsodized about Yannick Pouliot before) and, while I couldn't quite get into Farmer and Maggs, Pouliot did not disappoint. Here's a photo from the show -
• What else do I recommend? Not art but verging upon it.
• And here's a missed connection that I did for Saturday's Toronto section of the National Post.

Got to check out the newish Drawn & Quarterly store in Montreal this weekend. So lovely, chock a block with awesome comix, books, prints. It was a weekend of inspiring seeing. Went to the Museum of Contemporary Art and saw Yannick Pouliot's work for the first time. He had just a single piece in the present show, but it made everyone in the gallery who experienced it smile. Fortunately, Pouliot gets his own solo show on February 8th. Can't wait.
Here's a sketch of signals crossed and love lost.

Listing Love

I love illustrating Missed Connections. Hopeful people posting notes in a bid to find that person they met eyes with on the subway. Perhaps it's naive, but I like to think that highlighting them in a newspaper will, at least, further the word, and perhaps bring two people together.

Screen Scene
Didn't want to post the yield of my screenprinting course until I knew pal Kristy had received the shirt I made her in the mail - nothing worse than a surprise ruined by indiscrete blogging!
More Miscellany
A handful of new portraits are up, though I'm still behind in my scannage. As well, I'm doing a new weekly city quiz cartoon for the Post Toronto section. Check it.

- Guess who's doing the music for our short film? A fabulous nonogenarian named Irving Fields. Check out his YouTube anthem.

Portrait Project
I'll be doing one portrait a day until I can't do one portrait a day anymore. Not allowed to spend more than an hour on each one.
Long Live Irony
This is my catch-all site - art projects, journalism, weird experiments, all founded in the general belief that irony is not dead, regardless of what Graydon Carter says.
A joint blog where me and the Mr. post our thoughts on fashion and design, and I chronicle my year of not shopping. (I've cheated once.)
The Portrait Gallery
The government has been all kinds of annoying when it comes to creating a respectable National Portrait Gallery of Canada. So we built one in our garage this summer!
