Announcing the Montreal Book Launch for NOG A DOD: Prehistoric Canadian Psychedooolia edited by Marc Bell!

This is news to both book lovers and art afficianados. Presented by Conundrum Press, the event will include a one day art show by contributor S.P. Ehman.


Nog A Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psychedooolia

Please join us at BOA BAR for the release of Nog A Dod, a landmark in Canadian Oddball Art Publishing, edited by Marc Bell (cartoonist responsible for Worn Tuff Elbow, Shrimpy and Paul and The Stacks).

This new book from Montreal's Conundrum Press documents nearly a decade of work by a loosely affiliated group of artists including Bell, Peter Thompson, Jason McLean, Amy Lockhart, Keith Jones, Owen Plummer, Tommy Lacroix, Tara Azzopardi, Jonathan Petersen, Dirty Debbie, S.P. Ehman, Scott Evans, Julie Voyce and Mark Connery.


Their work falls somewhere between children's book art, comics, psychedelia and fine art. Nog A Dod focuses on some of their greatest self-published achievements: The Book Of Sweden, Bucktooth Magnifying Glass, Ultra Sommy, The Perpetual Motion Machine, Carousel, Strawbaby, Flip Flop Prophets, Volvo Rollbars, Knoze Clippah, Pee On The Owl, Long Time Journey and many more. Several "Nogs" will be in attendance for this launch including Marc Bell and local artists who are featured in the book.


In this weeks MIRROR
"For most folks, open-ended doodling is an activity limited to occupying fidgety hands while tied up on the phone. For the Canadian artists assembled for the latest book from Montreal's Conundrum Press, however, it offers a whole new vista of expression. Nog a Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psyckedooolia is a weighty tome...
...bursting with sketches, jams, abstract comics, odd texts, collages, altered photos and all manner of combinations thereof. Expect wizards and wildlife, hobos and hot rods, priests and pyramids, monster machines and mustachioed macho men. Do not, conversely, expect to make heads or tails of the damn thing." - Rupert Bottenberg

This weeks Hour
"...The impressive, extensive, half-colour tome by Conundrum Press, edited by comic artist Marc Bell, unites the work of dozens of artists, loosely related by either style or provenance, in a pleasing order that doesn't really presume any. The idea was to present in a new context works from a particular scene that were originally created as self-published artists' books. Treat yourself to a chunk of psychedoolia history..." -
