So are you Game? I'd love to see what you can come up with...
I have two more Zines to share with you, this time in CBR format so you'll need to grab the popular CDisplay reader here for those.
First is the second issue of Nisrigion. A lit zine I illustrated, designed and published. It Features both the alternate covers for the issue, and the conclusion to J.F.Sugerman's futurists gonzo dystopian play Drowning. You can catch the first part in Nisrigion one, posted here in PDF form a year ago.
And the other is a sketchbook journal titled CscdcC, I'll leave the slightly embarrassing long form for you to read yourself. I've excised some unworthy early attempts to write from this, but most of it's there still.
Wanted an excuse to work with a few new tools, some stuff I'll probably apply to my own site soon, to help tidy it up some.
+Told Bernie a while ago I'd help fix up his old site, and move it to a better host.
Sooo....
The new url is bem.spiltink.org, and while it's still got some stuff to tighten I'm officially launching it today. Drop buy and bug the guy to post some new stuff! :)
Years ago when i first started visiting Montreal, Rupert Bottenberg introduced me to a fellow young Jewish lad name of Josh Dolgin.
We talked a lot over the years, and i always liked the guy, eventually I ended up living a few blocks from his place and would drop in from time to time to say hi. His pad was always hopping.
The guy is inspiringly creative. First off he's a DJ, and Rapper. Did a lot of sampling and turntabling and had really interesting eclectic taste. He was also a classically trained musician, and played a squeezebox too.
He also makes documentary films, a fair bit of that really, lately with the NFB.
And to top it off is really amazing with slight of hand tricks that he obsessively practices for hours on end. Its not just a hobby, he performs as a magician sometimes. When I held the first Monthly Montreal Comix Jam for my 30th birthday I invited him to come and perform, the show was amazing.
Lost track for a while, mostly because he started touring a lot for his music and I started hearing mutterings, every once and a while something on the CBC about him.
Last year for a while we were neighbours and when he was in town it was great to go over to his place and talk the shit. Half the time he's just making shit up, but then it's even deeper! :P
Words been getting out, this guy is talented. DJ, Filmmaker, Musician, Magician, oh, did I forget really excellent Photographer too? Forgetaboutit! Check out his web site for some of that action. All around creative and inventive dude I tell you!
So if you haven't been bit by this bug yet, lets see if i can fix that. He's got two Youtube pages going. Here and here. Some highlights to hook you in bellow.
