Kate MacDonald Joins American Fever Crew!

For those of you who haven't been following along, American Fever: A Tale of Romance & Pestilence is a live blog novel by the considerably talented writer-filmmaker Peter Christian Hall. After following along on my own for quite a while, I am incredibly proud to announce my appearance illustrating some of the novel's final days.

You can find my previously unpublished dystopian postcards beginning on Day 215-8: Free for a Night with Bird Sanctuary (now showing at London's Nolias Gallery) and on Day 219-20: My Burning Tire with You Are Here. In an interesting coincidence, the quoted lyrics that preface You Are Here are from one of my favourite songs (Warrior by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) that I have been listening to in my almost obsessive way the past weeks. (Alright, entirely obsessive to any neighbours within hearing range.)

If you haven't been introduced to American Fever, it's not too late to check out is likely the future of the modern novel. Begin at the prologue with More than 'A Blog of the Pandemic Year' and soldier on.

*tlc Magazine Feature Out!

It's not every day a girl (never mind an artist) finds herself featured in a swish magazine, but the right planets must have aligned to pull this together. Check out the tlc* December gift issue - you can pick up a hard copy in Vancouver or Berlin or read it online the modern way - my interview by Ron Coldham is on page 23 and features a big red W with bonus blimp.

If you're actually looking for any of the mentioned lightboxes, you can find them online at my etsy shop or drop me a comment. Because it's dollar forty-nine day, I'll include the shipping and track down some of that Woodward's peanut butter I hear Nestor's is reintroducing for Vancouver consumption. Damn, I love peanut butter.

Thanks to this little city and Ron Coldham for a great feature and congrats to Nestor's and everyone else moving into swank new digs in the Woodwards Building!
