EXPOZINE

EXPOZINE is Montreal's Annual Small Press, Comic and Zine Fair.  This year I finally participated for the first time to launch my new booklet the "Loose Lips Almanac", a contemporary collection of proverbs written by my brother, musician Bradley Thomas Moore, and illustrated by your truly.

I have always wanted to do an illustrated book work. The "Loose Lips Almanac" was an idea Brad and I came up with over coffee on our weekly Monday meeting. Brad introduced me to the wonderful proverbs of Benjamin Franklin produced for the "Poor Richard's Almanac", published between 1732 and 1758.  We decided together we should produce a booklet of proverbs for contemporary times. The results proved to be random bits of advice, not quite truisms, but playful thoughts I could illustrate.
I illustrated 8 verses altogether, although there were in the end lots to choose from. This may be the first edition of many.

Thank you to all who came by my table at expozine.
