Study Group 12 Anthology

description borrowed from http://www.etsy.com/shop/secretvoice

The new evolution of the Ignatz Award-winning comics anthology STUDYGROUP12 is a lavish, handmade package with silkscreened covers & offset interiors and some of the best talent the comics industry has to offer!

The 9x12" album sized SG12 is "perfect-bound" with a fancy spine and everything.

here's what the "offical press release" had to say:
In the six years since issue three, editor Zack Soto focused on his own comics, including THE SECRET VOICE for Adhouse Books, moved to Portland, OR, and helped run local comics/art hub PONY CLUB GALLERY. During his tenure with the gallery, Soto curated several monthly group shows and met dozens of artists working in the Portland comics and art scene. Shortly after leaving the gallery to pursue comics full-time, that old anthology itch came back. Thus, we have STUDYGROUP12 #4, a mixture of some of the best Pacific Northwest artists and other great cartoonists from around North America.

Zack has teamed up with Jason Leivian of Floating World Comics to publish this incarnation of SG12, with interiors printed by Eberhardt Press. The series has evolved from issue to issue, changing format each time in a natural evolution of craft and intention. They have come saddle-stitched, perfect-bound by hand, and coil-bound with chipboard covers -- but always with silkscreened covers and photocopied interiors. This issue is another step forward -- the interiors will be offset-printed in a blue Pantone ink on cream paper along with a two-color section and perfect-bound into hand-pulled silkscreened covers, in a limited edition of 500 copies.

Vancouver Section

Further proof that Lucky's sells more than just comics...here are some highlights of our growing Vancouver book section:

Adventures in Solitude: What Not To Wear to a Nude Potluck and other stories from Desolation Sound, by Grant Lawrence: Waiting for the Smugglers reunion tour, bring it on! 
Vancouver: Then and Now, by Francis Mansbridge: new from Thunder Bay books, a captivating photo book of Vancouver - um...then, and now. 
Vancouver Special by Charles Demers: writer, performer, and activist Charles Demers examines the who, what, where, when, why, and how of Vancouver, shedding light on the various strategies and influences that have made the city what it is today (as well as what it should be)...  
Vancouver Matters edited by Christa Min: Representing Vancouver’s history and present materiality through writing, drawing and photography, Vancouver Matters offers a critical examination of the city’s faults and opportunities. The text is organized by the following material conditions...
City of Glass by Douglas Coupland: Fully redesigned, the iconic bestselling book of Coupland’s personal reflections on his home city, which gave rise to the city’s international moniker, City of Glass
City Walks: Vancouver 50 Adventures on Foot: You get the idea...Chronicle publishes these for a bunch of cities. 

And a couple others in the heavily Vancouver-related territory: 

The Man Game, by Lee Henderson: Post great fire 1886 Vancouver is the setting of this acclaimed novel by Vancouver's own...so, it wins on two counts. Plus the naked wrestling, there's that too...
Marshal McLuhan, by Douglas Coupland: Part of Pengiun's biography series, this is Coupland's take on McLuhan, focusing on deciphering McLuhan's mind, traits, and interests. Plenty of good reviews including this one.
Player One: What Is to Become of Us by Douglas Coupland. Part of the CBC Massey Lectures...it's a novel that takes place in an airport cocktail lounge over a five-hour period. People are trapped, the world is ending, they chat.

...another post coming featuring work by Vancouver authors and artists, the likes of Julie Morstad, Amy Lockhart, Sonja Ahlers, Paul McDevitt, Chris von Szombathy, Marc Bell, Pia Guerra, Lisa Cinar, Miriam Libicki, James Lloyd, Ian Boothby, Steve Rolston, Brandon Graham, James Stokoe, Graham Roumieu (Bigfoot occasionally visits), Julie Flett, Colin Upton, Owen Plummer, Jason McLean, Mark DeLong, and more.

DAN BRODIE: Free Punches



///////////////////////////////////////////
DANIEL BRODIE
Free Punches

July 15 – 29, 2010
...
Opening reception 15 July, 7pm
Curated by Jenn Jackson

///////////////////////////////////////////

Lucky’s Gallery is pleased to present the forthcoming exhibition- Free Punches, by Vancouver artist Daniel Brodie. With worn out sharpies, found paper, and free paint Daniel Brodie presents a diarist mapping of quotidian association. The dailyness of daily life is comfortably occupied without excuse. In a generous offering of everywhere and nowhere Brodie indulges in the lure of the ordinary. Abstaining from pragmatic performance Brodie’s drawings, paintings, collages and sculptural installations aspire personal political tenor, a reconciliation of revolving potential. In participation of counter consciousness, an affectionate embrace towards pensive looking reverberates the poetic nature of noticing the everyday. A loop of gestures, contradictions and qualifications openly explore the material possibilities of immaterial routines and repetitious senses, validating a desire for closeness and focused understanding.

Amanda Lye - Miniatures: Systems, Structures and the Inane



Parting is such the sweet sorrow...only two days left to enjoy Amanda Lye's Miniatures: Systems, Structures and the Inane.

Lucky’s Gallery is pleased to present the forthcoming exhibition- Miniatures: Systems, Structures and the Inane, by Vancouver artist Amanda Lye. A study of order, Lye presents a collection of acquired objects representing an affinity for the miniature. An ongoing project, her ever-shifting installation offers an engaging conversation with the contemporary condition of escalating pluralism. The collection's orientation to multiple aspects or parts disturbs symbolic representation, underscoring the oblique nature of an archive composed of recalcitrant material. The placement of each inventory within appropriate box (along walls and upon shelves and tables) proposes value distinctions and provides structuralized containment for a frenetic assemblage. Although precarious, the varied objects are arranged in a carefully maintained order of idiosyncrasy. With a utopian spirit, Lye’s anomic structures recoup failed visions, vital knowledges, and familiar narratives of what has been or what could be.

VPL zine buy at Lucky's

The Vancouver Public Library is coming by Lucky's for what is turning into a semi-regular visit to replenish and stock up their zine library at the Central Branch downtown. If you self-publish a zine, art book, comic or any kind of mini-book, get it down to Lucky's for consignment by June 21st to be considered by the librarians. No book too humble to be considered - hand-folded and stapled is a-ok!
If you are bringing books down, 3 copies is perfect, the library might take 2, then we'd have one left over for the store and would be able to contact you for more.
Please price your books. Our policy is to keep 40% consignment, so factor that into your price (if it sells for $3.00, we keep $1.20).

So...you have eight or nine days, that's enough time to start and finish something, so get to it knucklehead!

Sincerely,
Your friends at Lucky's.
