The Anti-Psychiatry Prints

Woodcut illustrations for my book, The Anti-Psychiatry Bibliography and Resource Guide (Vancouver: Press Gang, 1979) This was another project driven by the spirit of the grassroots political movements of the 1970s. Some have been reprinted elsewhere, including in Shrink Resistant: the struggle against psychiatry in Canada (Burstow & Weitz, editors, Vancouver: New Star Books, 1988)

                                                                           

               

White Lunch

A few of my favorite pieces (mostly pencil and and oil pastel) from my sketching trips of the 1970s and early 1980s, depicting the customers who hung out at the legendary White Lunch Cafeteria on East Hastings Street in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
