Shediac! I'm not sure if I have mentioned that there is a whole booth of my stuff at Maritime Crafts this summer! If you live in the area or you're passing through, stop by. There is so much to see in this shop! Alternately, enjoy this very tired picture of me that Patrick took. 🙃🌻

A framed drawing of a chair with the name Laura K. Watson spelt out in stickers, tucked between racks of zines and cards on a bookcase.A person with long hair stands in front of a bookcase filled with racks of stickers, prints, zines, and other paper goods.A display stand holding zines sitting on a shelf.A rack of six different sticker sheets sits on a shelf next to a box of art prints.

My new poetry zine is finally done and back from the printer! This guy has been in the works for a few years now and I am so happy/relieved that it is finally out here in the world. If you want to grab a copy, it's available on my website and also at Living Things Arts Collective in Sackville.

A hand holds up a zine with a drawing of potted bulbs sprouting but not flowering yet and hand-lettered text that reads: "Aftermath."A hand holds the zine open to the title page with the same pencil drawing of potted bulbs, this time in black and white, and hand-lettered text that reads: "Aftermath. Laura K. Watson." The facing inside cover is olive green.A hand holds the zine open to a page with a hand-lettered poem called: "Small Collection of Past Mistakes." The body of the poem is not really legible. On the opposite page is a drawing in pencil of a flooded street, with a slightly decrepit building, a telephone poll, power lines, and a sign that reads: "Road Closed. Detour."

I've only got about 30 copies of my 2026 calendars left and I'll be closing my online store for the holidays this Saturday! (I've also got a few copies available that arrived from the printer without a hole for hanging, which could be for you if you are someone that loves a discount!)
