Robert Pedersen

Hell Passport Preamble

For a number of years Robert Pedersen has been the proprietor of Chroma Books in its many forms and manifestations. He is also a sound artist who takes apart tape decks and rearranges the apparatus to perform a more inclusive range of acoustic representations. Robert wrote the original preamble for the Hell Passport Project years ago then gave it away, lost it and sold it. We have been told that this new version is every bit as grand as the original. You can see for yourself. Robert doesn’t mince words – neither does he chop or grind them; he draws and writes hell haikus and sometimes plays golf. 12 black and white pages.

Fiona Smyth

Hell Passport Volume 2

Fiona Smyth fabricates her Hell from ice crystals and dripping oozing bodily fluids. While Hell is usually represented with fire and smoke and flaming creatures, Smyth's Hell is even more sinister because it is populated by maimed and pierced bodies who appear to be suffering from an excruciatingly fierce and burning cold. 16 black and white pages.

Ben L. Jacques

Hell Passport Volume 4

Ben L. Jacques can frequently be found behind the counter at Lucky’s Comics in Vancouver and it is this daily proximity to thousands of comics that has informed Ben’s work for Hell Passport Volume 4. Ben has studied the comics classics, the indie giants, street art, graffiti and doddles found on the floor. From these mighty influences he has distilled his own powerful graphic style that is gruesome, goth, playful and sketchy. Ben is a funny guy and this books make you laugh as much as weep. Read it and weep or die laughing. 16 black and white pages. Red cover stock with ice-bleu end papers. 18,5 x 13,5. Perro Verlag, Vancouver 2007

Brandy Fedoruk

Hell Passport Volume 5

If you were in Hell, what things would you be made to eat? What sounds would you have to listen to? What jobs would you have to do? What things wouldn’t you be allowed to have? And what hellish events would you have to attend? Brandy Fedoruk has already answered these questions for herself. If you have a hard time coming up with answers to these questions, this book will give you the help you need to be prepared for those worst-case scenarios. 20 black and white pages.

Terry Plummer

Hell Passport Volume 6

How many new words can be made from the letters in H-E-L-L-P-A-S-S-P-O-R-T? Who can remember the names of famous suicides in alphabetical order? What is the connection between Hollywood and Hell? These and other important questions concerning Hell’s eruptions into the quotidien are methodically explored in Terry Plummer’s Hell Passport Volume 6. “Hell is in the details,” Plummer reminds us. “Hell is nipping at us like so many bedbugs – and us without pajamas.” Plummer leads us to believe that Hell is lurking around every corner and then tells us to “relax. Hell is here to stay; we are not.” 16 black and white pages. Red cover stock with pink end papers. 18,5 x 13,5. Perro Verlag, Vancouver 2007

Whitman's elaborately scratchy pencil drawings depict a landscape where hairy, prickly creatures play hide and seek with trees and menacing vegetation; then, Ovid-like, the creatures morph to become the vegetation. 32 black and white pages.

Rebecca Dolen

Hell Passport Volume 8, A Holidy From Hell Vacation Guide

If you have ever been on one of those “Holidays from Hell,” you will appreciate Rebecca Dolen’s Hell Passport Vacation Guide, a 16-page booklet outlining holiday destinations packed with vulgarities, disasters, hauntings, and toxic waste. Dolen’s consummate guide is far superior to the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide or Fodor travel books. It would be foolhardy to leave home without this essential guidebook/passport tucked into your carry-on luggage. 16 black and white pages. Red cover stock and orange end papers. 18,5 x 13,5.

derek beaulieu

Hell Passport Volume 9

The pages of derek beaulieu’s Hell Passport, Volume 4, are white fields punctured by black holes. The reader’s eye leaps into one of the holes on page 1, then travels an incalculable distance to emerge through another hole/void on different pages to find more exits and entrances. Through punctuated barriers, noise blips, patterns and static, the reader wanders and loses her way in a diabolically minimalist metaphor for the lower depths. 8 black and white pages.

Colin Upton

Hell Passport Volume 10

Upton's volume is a tongue-in-cheek history of the Hell Passport and its possible origins.

Sally Ireland

Hell Passport Volume 11

There are no smiling family members carefully posed for the viewfinder in Sally Ireland’s passport, Family Album. Instead, Ireland presents a sinister place of entombment where shadowed demons, wearing the clothes of ordinary people, flash their fangs at their child/ward, who, terrorized almost into paralysis, nevertheless manages to escape with these drawings as evidence tucked under her arm. 20 black and white pages.

Wesley Mulvin

Hell Passport volume 12, Ne'er, E'er

This passport breaks the rules and is printed on bright yellow paper. Never mind that the bright coloured paper is almost impossible to see through the solid black background on every page. Mulvin's drawings are ghostly apparitions of family members caught in activities in a dark past where bikes and strollers and sporty clothes can ne'er e'er do anything about the menace surrounding them. 20 black and yellow pages.

Owen Plummer

Hell Passport Volume Thirteen

The Cover of Owen Plummer’s Volume 13, titled Thee Bleeding Brick, displays the warning, “For Twisted Adult Minds Only!”. Readers who dare to venture past the introduction will find themselves in an Art Brut landscape populated by hilariously grotesque figures that have been redrawn from Surrealism, Psychedelia, the Hairy Who and Plummer’s own magpie imagination. When the readers with twisted minds come to the last page of this Hell Passport, they will want to start all over again at the page where a thorny mandala decorates an announcement of the forthcoming Visions of the Deathclops Priesthood. 20 black and white pages.

Roy Green

Hell Passport Volume Fourteen

Painter, performance artist, poet and collagist extraordinaire,Roy Green, has stocked Volume 14 with enough images and text to fill ten passports – if Green were a minimalist. Luckily for us, Green adheres to the “more is better” approach in his work and this volume is a kind of graphic Coles Notes, The Total Study Edition to the Hell Passport Project. If you have a term paper to write on The Inferno, look no further for references. Buy this book and copy out everything you need to know! Green encourages comprehensive plagiarism; he’s written this volume for you to put to use – even if you burn in Hell for it. 16 black and white pages.

Mark Connery

Hell Passport Volume 15

Citrus Mania, pathological lying, Pez addiction and babies eaten by Trolls are just a few things Connery tosses into this asemic stew and serves up to us. Delicious toxic nourishment!

Billy Mavreas

Hell Passport Volume 16, The Commentary

Mavreas riffs on the scholarly commentaries that often accompany editions of the Divine Comedy by cutting and pasting from Egerton Sykes Dictonary of Non-Classical Mythology and other esoterica. The drawings in the book are Mavreas' own though, and reflect his interest in both comics and asemia. Red Cover stock and yellow end papers

Julia Feyrer

Hell Passport Volume 18

In Feyrer's hell the devil makes artists spend their eternal lives drawing variations on the happy face and all the heat and effort forge faces that are stretched, kneaded, pummelled, gouged and photoshopped into diabolical grimaces. This passport takes the "variation on a theme" exercise to new depths. 16 black and white pages. Red cover stock with orange end papers. 18,5 x 13,5. Perro Verlag, Vancouver 2007

Lisa Cinar

Hell Passport Volume 19

Lisa Cinar has done a great deal of careful research on the whereabouts of the exact location of Hell for her passport project. If you have never heard the fearful howls and screams of the damned erupting daily from the centre of the earth, Cinar’s book tells you where to go to hear the terrible cacophony. There is also an all-inclusive list of websites for those who wish to supplement their reading with additional material from the Internet.

Ed Varney

Hell Passport Volume 20

From the depths of hell, a letter is dispatched to the Beloved. If it ever arrives, what form would it take? What experiences would the letter describe? Ed Varney’s Letter from Hell is handwritten in ghostly transparent letters that float across the pages. There are no Dantesque adventures here; no Virgil to act as guide. The reader becomes as lost and despairing as the soul writing from hell.12 black and white pages. Red cover stock with black end papers. 18,5 x 13,5. Perro Verlag, Vancouver 2008.

Guinevere Pencarrick

Hell Passport Volume 21

There is a drawing by Rembrandt of the fat screaming baby Ganymede being carried off by the predator Zeus, who has disguised himself as an eagle. Guinevere Pencarrick’s Hell Passport is filled with similarly cruel avians that appear all too ready to claw or peck out the eyes of the reader who lingers too long over these images. Beware of developing a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of birds if you own this book. 24 black and white pages. Red cover stock with blue end papers. 18,5 x 13,5.

Donato Mancini

Hell Passport Volume 22

Have you ever been tased or tasered by the police? At some point Donato Mancini appears to have had a close brush with the law – close enough to ignite a fierce interest in the destructive electric shock these assault weapons aim at the hearts and minds of their victims. Carrying Mancini’s passport may not get you out of jail for free, but the drawings here are a sharp warning to the gentle reader to steer clear of taser-toting "law enforcers". 28 black and white pages.

Rebecca Dolan

It's My Sketchbook

As it says on this book’s title page, It’s My Sketchbook is “a collection of drawings from the sketchbook of Rebecca Dolen.” A subtitle might read: A treatise on levitation, architecture and the magical beams we are all the time beaming— or shying away from. Dolen’s sketchbook records enchanted events in a universe of marvels. Turning these pages is equivalent to the reader saying “Open Sesame!” Fasten your seatbelts; these are imagination-expanding drawings. 36 full colour pages. Black die-cut cover. Saddle-stitched. 22,5 x 14,5 cm. Perro Verlag, Mayne Island, BC, Canada, 2009.

James MacSwain

Eruption

Over many years of practicing his craft, James MacSwain has developed a large body of collage and film work which taps into our collective consciousness by recycling imagery from an astonishing number of sources. MacSwain’s collages are often dark, always poetic and deeply involved with issues of transformation. 
In Eruption , specific archetypical characters of flickering gender travel through time and timeless geographies becoming lost in the lush sensual pages of handwritten text, maps, and images. Printed in a limited edition of 60 signed and numbered copies. Letterpress cover on Papeterie Saint-Armand handmade paper. 28 pages, 23 in full colour, 5 in black and white. Hand-stitched binding in red linen thread. 22,5 x 14,5 cm. Perro Verlag, Mayne Island, BC, Canada, 2009.

Julia Feyrer

Comedy Tragedy

Comedy Tragedy is an omnibus of methods for invention and image processing—absurd, repetitive, hand drawn, found and messed up. In Feyrer’s world a wig is a mountain not a molehill, bananas are a glove’s fingers, clothes are shadows of body parts and a pizza is a face is a fruit is a slice of the earth. Set out as an eccentric collector’s cataloque this compendium overturns the story and the history. Structure is the subject, funny and fun.

Jo Cook

The Last Four Cows of North America

This densely layered book of text and image begins with a quote from Eugène Ionesco’s Journeys Among the Dead : “Genealogy is where we find emanations, emanations. No, genealogy is where we no longer find, where we have never found, emanations.” Mixing fiction with historical documents, found images, family photographs, newspaper clippings and comics, Cook excuses history from being linear while documenting her roundabout journey through a melancholy genealogy. Printed in an edition of 50 signed and numbered copies. Numbers 1-10 have letterpress covers. 20 pages, four in colour. Grey end papers. 18 x 21 cm. Perro Verlag, Mayne Island, BC, Canada, 2008.

Based on two found texts that were themselves based on a text translated from the Hittite, Kirlianova’s reconstruction of the original narrative is both humourous and scholarly.

Frances Zorn, edited by Åg Zorn

Dragons of the Air
The Roswell Notebook of Frances Zorn

In late April 1947, the brilliant paleontologist Maude Johnson and her lover, the poet Frances Zorn, began living together in Roswell, New Mexico. The notebook Zorn kept in Roswell during the summer recorded UFO events she and Johnson witnessed while, at the same time, Johnson was making the astonishing discovery of bird-headed dinosaur remains in the Roswell area. Then suddenly in late August, the two women vanished, and local police and the FBI were unable to find any clues to help solve the mystery of their disappearance. The notebook Frances Zorn was keeping before she disappeared has been edited by her niece, the artist Åg Zorn. The notebook’s diagrams, sketches, and notations are meticulously reproduced here, and the chaotic form of the journal has been edited into a readable facsimile of the original. The composer Susan Hawkins has digitally remastered the sound recordings Zorn and Johnson made documenting the pulsing, humming, rumbling, clicking and accelerated buzzing that accompanied the visions Zorn describes in her notebook. The CD included in the book now reproduces much more clearly what must have been an astonishing audio experience. Printed in an edition of 60. Perfect bound with blue binding tape, 26.5 x 19.75 cm, 32 pages, including 5 full-colour images, 3 two-colour illustrated pages and 7 black-and-white drawings. Screen-printed on both front and back covers, with a 3” CD in a printed envelope on the inside back cover. Perro Verlag, Vancouver, 2007.

Wesley Mulvin

Altered Faces, Faithless Altars

For this new perfect-bound artist’s book, Wesley Mulvin has sketched a variety of faces and invented episodes, using both art history and his own history to illustrate comic pseudo-narratives. Using chance operations to title each drawing, he arrives at phrases like “What is nicer and easier than falling asleep?” This phrase is repeated four times in variations for a portrait of a sleeping figure. In another drawing, a swimmer who may or may not be having trouble keeping afloat, appears to be asking the question “What shall we do in art?” while a dancing devil is titled “Last Day of School.” Printed in a signed and numbered edition of 60. Perfect bound with black binding tape, 21.5 x 16.5 cm, 36 pages, including 33 black-and-white drawings. Two-colour screen-printed cover on Fabriano cover stock, with blue end papers.

The book provides a thorough documentation of each of the teams, their members’ profiles, tournament boards and match results. The comprehensive essay by Ted Hiebert begins with a quote by Jean Baudrillard, “Facing a world that is unintelligible and problematic, our task is clear: we must make that world even more unintelligible, even more problematic.” This quote could also be Noxious Sector’s guiding aesthetic for this project. 125 pages, 94 in colour.
