The book is a poetic take on the relationship between Hercules and the mythological monster Geryon, updated  to the present day and re-imagined as a torturous gay love story.

Shan Hai Jing, literally translated as Collection of Mountains and Seas, is an ancient text on geography and mythology in China.
This exhibition was initiated by Holly Lee, who first started her series of photographs titled Shan Hai Jing in 2010. Inspired by the work of Fiona and Erik, Holly found many similarities in the mythology of their work, so she suggested that together they adopt Shan Hai Jing as a theme to create a body of new work to be shown together.
The Opening Reception is Saturday, 16 March, 2013, from 3-6 pm.
INDEXG Gallery
50 Gladstone Avenue
 Toronto
Gallery hours are Wednesday to Sunday from 1-6 pm.
The exhibition runs thru April 28, 2013.

Last autumn, the Toronto Pride Committee asked Maurice Vellekoop to come up with costume designs for some mascots they were considering creating for the World Pride festivities coming to town in 2014.
There were to be 4 designs for typically Canuck animals representing various types in the LGBT community. Maurice offered variations on a couple of them.
The Committee eventually decided to use another artist’s designs.
