Modern Rainbow Action Theater #2 now available!

I just printed up a batch of the second installment of my littlest collage zine MODERN RAINBOW ACTION THEATER!
Here's a snapshot of the front cover:



I used a lot more pictures this time instead of just words. Makes for great bathroom reading! Contact me if you want to receive one by mail for a mere 2 dollars! Or just ask me the next time we run into each other.

Tah!

Fabric Love

Over these past few winter months I've really fallen in love with needlework. There's nothing better than sitting with friends, drinking tea and creating something with your hands. I bought some embroidery material a couple of months ago and I embroidered this little gal over Christmas (I started with a pattern but I decided to subvert it). She's hanging on my bedroom wall now.



A while back, I made a stencil based on the cake lantern that I made last summer in St.John's, and I screen-printed them onto some fabric that I bought a street sale (I used the same fabric to embroidery Senorita Cheese). Here are two versions:







I sewed mine onto a canvas bag and then promptly lost it... but I've heard rumours as to its whereabouts...
If you want to buy a cake patch from me, I'm sellng them for 3 bucks each. Send me a message at sneakybaconpress@gmail.com if you want to have your cake and wear it too!

Eat Yer Viddy-Ohs

Here's another video of me performing an original song (Riddle Song # 2) at the Mile End Guitar Shop on January 15th, at our hugely enjoyable "Old Time for a New Year" shindig.



Thanks again to Mike for doing the video and sound, it turned out swell!

Hope you enjoy.

Sweetness!

Here's a video of me playing a show as part of Lew Dite's U-Strummit series where he films a local musician playing in a small café in N.D.G and posts it on YouTube.

It was a lovely time with many sweet people and sweet pastries and infinite cups of tea.

There are two parts but I'll only post the second part. I start that part with the Irish ballad "The Green Fields of Canada".
You can go and check out more U-Strummit videos on YouPube, all the folkys are there.

Hope you enjoy der Musik.
