Don’t miss My Petite Bourgeois Revolution, opening tonight at Northern Contemporary 7-11pm!
A tongue-in-cheek Revolution for those suffering from first world problems, My Petite Bourgeois Revolution isn’t about starvation, cake eating and guillotines. It’s about the lack of WiFi, overpriced coffee and overloaded transit. It’s an urbane revolution for the comfortable bourgeois elite, the art student sophisticate, and the bored bohemian who can’t get cable.
Towers of steel and glass are decimating Toronto’s neighbourhoods, replacing communities with condos. Can socially motivated revenge save the city from condo hell? We’ll see. Condo Heartbreak Disco, Eric’s new graphic novel, due to be published on May 16, 2017, explores the damage wrought by unchecked capitalism in a psychedelic romp through the near-future landscape of urban Toronto.
Available for pre-order on Eric’s website or through Amazon.

Steve Dunk hand-lettered and printed items for Toronto based musician Kristine Schmitt, and her band the Special Powers. Business cards, a demo disc cover, small posters and handbills were used for promotion at this year’s Folk Music Ontario Conference. The conference is the key event for Ontario’s folk, roots, and traditional music community.
Steve also designed artwork for a stamp that was used to label the disks, and an ad promoting show times for the conference program.
Covers and cards letterpress printed with the help of Lunar Caustic Press.
