I took a digital storytelling workshop and I wanted to share this text piece I made during the workshop. I made this as a response to the overdose deaths that are happening in my neighbourhood and in neighbourhoods all over Canada and beyond. Let’s work together to the fentanyl crisis.
My work, “Hope Chest” will be part Seasons and Directions as part of a collection on display at Massey College, Toronto, ON May-August 2017 / Monday to Friday 10am-5pm
The Travel Exhibition is an artist book Collection with the themes of Seasons and Directions. In 2014, the project was initiated by book artist Manuela Büchting who asked Canadian and European artists to participate at the book arts project. The artist collection is continously growing and travelling. For more information, visit: Deer Press.

I am just finishing the layout of my newest art book, The Conference: To Remember Animals. The Conference will be making its debut at Print Ready 2017, which will take place over two days, March 25th and 26, 2017. The show is at Dynamo Arts Association, Suite 103 – 30 East 6th Ave, Vancouver, BC.
My Name Is Scot provided the illustrations for the Conference. I have uploaded a few for you to see! They are superb! You can buy a copy of the limited edition book for $15.00 at Print Ready or send me a message.
And as a show of good faith, the good doctor allowed many of his laboratory subjects to come to this conference.
I am happy to announce that I have a new flowchart piece, called “Collision Course” in the Fall 2016 Issue of Geist Magazine. It is very Canadian piece, featuring a moose or two. Pick up a copy of Geist. Let me know what you think.

Happy to report that Hope Chest is travelling in the Spring section of this travelling exhibition curated by the lovely Manu Buchting.
“Season’s” is a travelling exhibition of “artists books inspired by the four phases of the year.” Curated by Manu Buchting, the show brings together work by 25 different artists and makes a stop at the newly christened Pointyhead Book Arts Gallery. Smallest and (probably) largest of its kind in Toronto, PBAG (!) is squeezed like a long title on a short spine into Don Taylor and Reg Beatty’s new bookbinding studio. Also on hand will be alcohol and air conditioning. Hope to see you there.”
