Weirds Unite!, Feb 15 2009
By noisy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nog A Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psyckedooolia (Paperback)
I'm a pretty weird dude, and i like lots of odd things. This is perhaps one of the oddest books i own. No surprise that PictureBox put this out. Their work is always on the cutting edge of what's out there, giving people opportunities even before they have mainstream artworld acceptance.This is a compilation of obscure strange canadian comix put together by Marc Bell (of L.O.). Bell has had work printed in Vice, Kramer's Ergot, and as evidenced here, countless obscure weirdo artzines and stuff like that. As described in the book, these pamphlets were traded back and forth between these artists in the mail or in person. They copied each others' work, "remixed" or drew over it, lampooned it, and even drew pictures together. There is very little logic or seriality involved. I could get no meaning from them, but that's almost besides the point. Essentially reading as the ultimate in-joke art craziness of a small group of Canadian artists, you may or may not enjoy this. I'm not sure if i enjoy it myself. Ultimately, i think i'd be happier with a good compilation of Marc's strips. If you like The Ganzfeld, Kramer's Ergot, or any of that kind of stuff, then check this out. Not the best book ever, but a good opportunity to see some interesting weird drawing bound together, like a reprint of strange zines in a professional context.

Everyone in the world should own one, Jun 3 2009
By Free Free "Thee Highest" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nog A Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psyckedooolia (Paperback)
I'm obsessed with this book. These are pages from zines that were traded and copied and passed around among friends in Canada a few years ago. They were all very obscure, with some being one-off, single-copy projects! A wonderful example of time wasted beautifully, and how art can create communities and document history that didn't feel like it at the time. If you are interested in graphic design or outsider art, you probably already own this. Along with Seb Jarnot's 3X7=15, this is my favorite art book!
