Before anything, I want to thank everyone for the support in both coming to the Mountains 2 Launch or even picking up a copy online. Issue 2 is out there now and has been getting great feedback. That being said, if you don’t have a copy yet, I highly suggest you get on that. If you don’t have either copy, we’ll give you both for $15.  Click on ‘Buy Mountains’ above to order your copy. Thanks again everyone.

The time has come! Mountains 2 is officially being launched.  A bunch of issues have slowly been leaking out but it is legit now! If you’re in the Toronto area, please come out.

Issue two is just finishing up running through the printer, drying in front of several oscillating fans and will be ready for your hands in no time at all! Contents include artist profiles of Anthony Green (vocalist/poet), Jess Baumung (punk rock photography), Ryan MacDonald (illustration – check out the fine cover art!) & Tod Ainslie (pin hole photography). Vegan recipes from Ross Corder. A photo essay of BC’s surf scene by Brooks Reynolds. And last but certainly not least, an in-depth look into the lives of the perpetually touring by Nada Alic.

Also, pre-orders for issue 2 start now! Use the ‘Buy Mountains’ link above to get on that. As soon as the issues are in (1-2 weeks). Your issue will be in the mail!

Mountains will be sold for a minimum donation of $10 throughout February. Every dime will be donated to Doctors Without Borders working in Haiti. Please support!

Issue 1 of Mountains is done and available! A six by nine inch, ninety six page book printed on high quality paper. Featuring an illustration profile of Jackie Musial and her fascination of animals and humans combined, a bittersweet collection of poems in a profile of the anti-poet Trevor Walroth, a road trip’s worth of images (see our links page for an idea of who may be included) in a photo essay by Brooks Reynolds taken as he traveled around North America and an interview by Andrea Dyer with Skate 4 Cancer’s founder Rob Dyer about his coast to coast treks pushing a skateboard across Canada.
