Hey, you!

Are you a fan of zines? Do you love cats? Want to support an independent queer artist?

My little sister is an online vendor for Canzine 2024 -- the largest zine festival in Canada! You can purchase her zine "Cats of Toronto" on the festival website from April 13 - 21.

And if you enjoy her art style, I recommend checking out her temporary online store, where you can purchase prints and stickers from her art series "Of Divine Origin," which puts an LGBTQIA+ spin on various myths, fairy tales, and supernatural creatures.

Thank you for helping my sister get her name out there!

I have several exciting events coming up this month!

2024 Spring Canzine

Where: Online!

When: April 13 to 21

Broken Pencil's virtual Canzine features creators from Canada, and around the world. I love these events because you can check out and support work from multiple indie creators, and only have to worry about one shipping fee. I'm always so impressed by the behind-the-scenes coordination that makes this possible! 

All my Now Recharging comics are going to be available at a discount from their usual prices in my online store, because everything will be in CAD instead of USD, and I'm not changing my prices! (Ah, our Canadian dollar.) Also they'll be able to ship to more countries than just Canada and the US!

(Psst, I'm also going to be running a Canzine special for my Lenormand oracle deck and my Genjimonogari art deck during the full festival time period! Stay tuned for more info when Canzine starts!)

You can see the full list of vendors here!

Momiji Spring Market April 2024

Where: 3555 Kingston Road, Scarborough Ontario

When: Saturday April 27 from 11 am to 4pm

Momiji Health Care Society is hosting a Spring Market, full of local artists, crafters, and makers! Momiji events are in a beautiful space, and always have the best food. The venue is a seniors' care centre so please aim to mask for the safety of all! 

More details on April Momiji events on their instagram.

Well, I absolutely did not expect it to take an entire year from exp. 2600 to the next issue, but such is life, honestly. Either way I'm terrifically pleased to announce that exp. 2601 will be debuting this weekend as part of Spring Online Canzine 2024, Canada's premiere zine festival running April 13th to 21st. 

This issue covers the eleven games released for the Atari 2600 in 1978, with essays on Space Invaders and the year 1978 to provide context. Even if you're not particularly interested in the Atari 2600, I think there's a lot in here for anyone interested in video games and their history, so I hope you'll check it out.

As with the first issue, exp. 2601 is being published in a signed, numbered limited edition of 52 and I'm also making it available as a PDF and ebook for people who don't want a little object, but still want something to read on an iPad or a Kindle with a bit more focus than they'd give to a webpage.

I am opening pre-orders here today, in advance of Canzine, so I can announce the issue with enough time to ensure subscribers know about it and are aware that they automatically receive 35% off in our ko-fi shop (including on new issues.) It's just $1 per month to become a subscriber, and you'll also get new articles a week early (as well as regular exclusive articles.) Physical copies will be sent out in the last week of April, with digital copies arriving as soon as Canzine begins.

In addition, and not to bury the lede here, for the first time since 2020 my ebook collecting the best of the original run of exp., exp. negatives, is also available for pre-order today, and will be on sale during, and only during, Spring Online Canzine 2024 (to reiterate: April 13th-21st).

If you don't have any of my available digital publications (exp. 2600, 2601, and negatives) I have also made a bundle of all three available for pre-order with a $2 discount for all (and if you're a subscriber, that stacks with your discount!)

I'd like to thank everyone reading this for their support across the years and let you know that there are more exciting things in the pipeline for exp. this year. Did you know it's been ten years since I started Every Game I've Finished? That fact might become important...

[kalipso-webcomic]

We interrupt our regular webcomic schedule to bring you an important announcement! 

For those who are interested in buying some of my books, zines, or even a print copie of Kalipso chapter 5 (the one currently being updated!!), you can find me either at online Canzine from May 5 to 11 or in person at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival from May 26 to 28!!

I’ll see you all there :)

Also, a regular reminder that Kalipso updates faster on Patreon! For just 1$ a month, you can get webcomic pages faster than on tumblr, as well as access exclusive content AND regular updates of my online novel Four Liars (in space)!

AND all of the pages of chapter 5 will drop as a block on Tapas July 12. (Which is when all the pages of the chapter will have dropped on tumblr at the rate of one a week)

[blam-marie]

Has anyone been waiting to get their hands on one of my zines or comics? If so, you’re in luck!! I am going to be a vendor during ONLINE CANZINE on May 5 to 11, 2023!

During the event, I will be selling print copies of Kalipso #1, The Printer Whisperer, and Snapshots from the Sea, as well as digital copies of all of my novels and zines. 

According to the Broken Pencil magazine: “Marie’s embrace of the fantastic as normal makes for fun and compelling tension” and “despite the feat of confining the stories to just 100 words apiece, it’s hard not to want them to spool on into larger tales”

Annonce importante :)

I was asked to do Canzine this year, but withdrew realizing the leadership and co-founder of Broken Pencil denies that genocide is even happening. So I joined the protest store instead.

https://cantzine.ca/

Zine culture and history is about rebellion, and speaking out against injustice, and abuses of power.

Colonization, capitalism and fascism being the driving forces that flatten identities through excessive, terrorizing violence to erase people from existance who do not benefit its expansion

My use of glitch aesthetics in all my forms of work are about the breaks and cracks that exist in a world that limits imagination of new ways to be and live for the better.

We make a new world, and better futures by making different decisions than we have. We can always choose to take power and attention away from people who abuse it.
