Zine de 28 pages sur les échanges textos entre les frères Jean-François et Gerry Gagnon. Le sujet : la musique. Si vous connaissez Gerry, vous savez que son vocabulaire est hors norme. Et si vous êtes chanceux, il vous dira que vous êtes bossu de la nouille.
Je n’en dévoilerai pas plus.

“All in all very good! Kudos!”
According to my toughest critic and dad.
In my next life I'll pulsate
Ocean side
I'll grasp
With my fingers
The sea's soul
My thirst
For the scorched
Will be sweetened
I'll learn to do nothing
I'll listen to all that spitting
Sound of waves
It's fun.

I’m in a bar now. I left the two cats alone and that’s kind of scary. I don’t write no more, I don’t make art much no more. I don’t think I’m enjoying life as I should be. I want to babble on paper. Sometimes it’s difficult to babble on paper. Is it weird to be alone in a bar and to write? It’s fun though, writing in the company of strangers. I’m scared for my cat. I’ll finish this beer and leave.

It’s early Sunday morning. Fire is a tough thing to create, even with the right tools. Things will warm up. I sleep well in Frelighsburg. Only, on some occasions, I look at the sky and I’m scared. It’s like I see an imminently doomed future in the sky. Our south bedroom wall is only that, windows with a view on the forest and sky. I lay on my left side and stare.
Poetry, imagery, images. Black gouache painted over laser prints. These images then scanned and printed on Fabriano paper with an imperfect inkjet printer that, once in a while, creates red and magenta images instead of grayscale. No one zine is the same due to the printer’s imperfections. The 56 page zine is coptic bound. 2018
Edition of 20 copies. Signed and numbered.
A 30 page zine on dung made for my boyfriend’s 40th anniversary. In about 6 months time prior to making this zine, I took notes of Jean-Jean’s conversation/jokes on the subject (very often). The quotes are his but the illustrations are mine.
Bound, printed and assembled at home. The cover pages made of Fabriano paper. End-papers out of tissue paper. The inside pages, gray paper. There is a folded spread as well as another tissue paper page inside. My illustrations are originally ink drawings. Everything printed on my inkjet printer.
The format is 4.25”x4.75”. Limited edition of 25. Signed, stamped and numbered. The zine comes with a limited edition print of the hairy bottom. 2018
A mixture of my poetry and collages, this is just another self-portrait is a 36 page zine printed and bound at home. Laser printing on two types of gray paper, as well as vellum paper. Signed, stamped and numbered. Edition of 50.
It was on the shortlist for the 2018 Broken Pencil Zine Award, literary zine category.
2024: I want to add an amazing story about this zine. Before finalizing this is just another self-portrait, I found a note on the sidewalk next to the bookstore Le port de tête. I liked the note and decided to add it to my zine as an insert. In November 2024, Cindy Wegner contacted me because she had bought a copy of my zine and lost the insert that came with it, she asked me if I had any copies left. Here’s where the story gets interesting, the note I found on the sidewalk was purposely left by her on avenue Mont-Royal. “It was a time of introspection and connection to something greater.” she adds in her email. A week after dropping the note, she was at Le port de tête, looking though the zine section and found her note as an insert in my zine.
Insert, from a note I found on the Mont-Royal avenue sidewalk.
