For Book Forms, artist and curator Owen Plummer has collected what he considers to be some of Vancouver’s best comic book art, in a celebration of raw, naturally irreverent and decidedly non-commercial grassroots talent. “I looked for different mediums of comic art, for people who bring fine art and comic art together, and I found some of the strongest artists in the city,” he says.

He found many of those artists through the pages of Drippytown Comics & Stories, publisher Julian Lawrence’s annual anthology of local and international talent. Lawrence’s own work is joined at Book Forms by that of past and present Drippytown contributors such as Rebecca Dart, Laura Eveleigh, Marc Bell, Mark Delong, Amy Lockhart, Kara Sievewright and Jo Cook, among others.
