a total classic!

Yet, it's constantly under threat or having fairs raised and under appreciated by @cityptbo.bsky.social council

Focus Fair is this weekend at the Theatre On King. Some new and returning vendors for your last minute gift giving. Sat 11-5, Sun 11-4 The Theatre On King - 171 King Street Ptbo/Nogo

Today is National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence against Women. It marks the day of the murders of 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. They were murdered because they were women. #remember #EndViolenceAgainstWomen

I don't know why @cityptbo.bsky.social doesn't just take over every arms length org that gets funding? Sounds like staff have serious sector skills. Ugh. They're coming for you next, Arts and culture orgs. Staff should focus on the issues at hand. There are plenty that actually fall in your yard.

There is so much more to this agreement than a mythical pipeline. Here's an insightful rundown of the climate policies it proposes to weaken: thenarwhal.ca/carney-alber...

I made this a couple of years ago. It was really the first iteration of me applying artwork to these boxboard dividers. Rendered in Black grease penci and painted with acrylic. A one-off artist book. I love the playability of mismatching the panels and the sculptural aspect.

2025 has become somewhat of a revelatory year for me.

I'm here at the Ottawa small press fair at the Tom Brown Arena, November 22, from 12:00 to 5:00pm, and I'm launching my new chapbook, List #1. After...WeTwo Boys. An editon of 8, letterpress printed on found box board box liners in rubine red. Printed from wood type. #letterpress #whitman #

Sanguinity, mixed media on canvas, 24x24in., 2025. Big thanks to Jack and all the folks at @cmhahkpr for accepting my pitch. A serene, pastoral glow, looking through vibrant type filled with action with a subtle metallic vibes. A riff on Whitman's words, setting a thoughtful tone.

Still looking! Anyone know?

Just wrapped (literally) a mixed media painting commission for delivery Tuesday. Now accepting painting and print commissions for the season. Dm.

It's time for Focus Fair at the wonderful The Theatre on King - TTOK - our 21st year. We're looking for a few new vendors to align alongside some of our long-standing vendor family. Dates: December 13/14th, 2025. Please apply at [email protected] thanks Jeff

i think @ptbopolice.bsky.social lack awareness that they have a pr problem with the citizens, whom which they propose to serve. Like, look around.

@ptbopolice.bsky.social shit pr, aligned with this???? UGH always. to both parties.

R.I.P. ICON D’Angelo 🙏🏾🕊️

RIP D'Angelo (1974-2025) 🕊️😔

this! and they should add a national bank to the mix, i'd switch!

New from me! The GE property at 107 Park Street generates more than $500,000 in property taxes for the city each year. That number stands to decrease if a proposal to demolish many of the buildings on the 50-acre site goes ahead. peterboroughcurrents.ca/analysis/ge-...

Use colours like words and words like colours. This broadside was printed over the course of the weekend of the Autumn studio tour. Printed in yellow and magenta on the linoscribe. 11x14in. Run of 20. #typography #design #printmaking

Stellar Saturday for 16km hike around silent lake. A yearly pilgrimage. And a fabulous swim to cap it off. Nature gives back.

#8 in Red, Yellow & Blue, mixed media, 7' w x 7'h. 2025. I'm #8. You can't miss me. It's tattooed on my arm, and it's now on the front lawn in all its glory. Thank you to Doug for a ton of assistance in making this happen. ♥️🙏 Summer was different this year! 😍💪🤔

excellent

Although I'm mostly known as a printmaker, via my Letterpress Studio - Jeff Macklin - Jackson Creek Press , like all artists, I contain multitudes. The fundamentals of drawing have always been centered in my practice. It's the base from which all the work emanates. I draw and paint all the time.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

absolutely! ugh @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social shame

Friday, October 3rd...Keyboards, live poetry and broadsides. At @bijouxbarptbo Reg. time, 7 to 9pm. September is crazy busy. Come post mortem the month with us in word form. Always w/Justin Million Fun overlayed text printed in three colours on the Linoscribe. #letterpress #design #typography

It's taken me way too long to speak about the atrocities happening across the world. I'm embarrassed. Freedom of the small press. War crimes are happening daily, and the media fails in their reporting. Politicians fail to stand up. Let Gaza live! 🍉 Printed from a linocut/wood type. 11x14. Ed. of 22
