Prologue to the Epilogue of a Dog

I've just received my second printing of my book, Prologue to the Epilogue of a Dog. This book is an ode to my dog, Trooper, told through photographs and prose. The first 30 copies were quickly dispersed as Christmas presents and at the Regional Assembly of Text's fabulous Book and Beer Night. I mightn't have made this book if Becky and Brandy of the aforementioned shop hadn't asked me to partake in their annual event. You can purchase a copy here. You can preview the book here.

Robert Bateman's polar bear population exceeds that of Canada's actual polar bear population.

Canada’s polar bear population is estimated to be roughly 16,000; the number of Bateman prints of polar bears in existence (by my own careful calculation) is close to 19,000.

Trooper serves as mascot.

Trooper strikes an uncharacteristic pose for The Paper Hound's window. He doesn't typically look so proud but if your outline was about to be emblazoned on a shop window you might yourself look jaunty.

Jason Zumpano's latest recording, now available on vinyl here "Custodian marks a much grander stylistic experiment in THE CYRILLIC TYPEWRITER’s discography of cinematic pop enigmaticism. Explained away as a score for an unreleased horror film, Custodian may be a uniquely Ruritarian soundtrack, referencing an origin of unverifiable existence, a plausible, approachable, but ephemeral stranger."
