Michael Dumontier & Neil Farber 
Tear of Sorrow / Tear of Joy
Toronto, Canada: Paul + Wendy Projects, 2023
20 x 30" each pillow
Edition size unknown


The first Paul + Wendy Projects project was a silkscreen print by the Royal Art Lodge, called Poster Making. It was one of the group's final works, when the collective had winnowed down to the trio of Marcel Dzama, Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber. 

Their next two editions were prints by Dumontier and Farber individually, and they worked with the artists on another six projects, ranging from rubber stamps to puzzles. 

Tear of Sorrow / Tear of Joy is the 72nd edition from Paul + Wendy Projects, a pair of screen printed pillowcases by Dumontier and Farber. The works are heat set with non-toxic fabric ink on 100% cotton and  accompanied by a card, signed by the artists (see above, bottom). 

The crying eye graphic has previously adorned a pair of mugs, for Border Crossing magazine (see earlier post, here). 

The pillow cases are available for $90 CDN, from the publisher, here

Jeffrey and Humphrey








[Marcel Dzama and Neil Farber]
Jeffrey and Humphrey
Winnipeg, Canada: Record Club Records, 2017
7" 45 rpm single
Edition of 200

The inaugural release from Record Club Records, a label collectively run by members of the Winnipeg based record club (Paul Butler, Jonathan Dueck, Michael Dumontier, Simon Hughes, Evan Johnson, Paul Robles, John K Samson, Todd Scarth, Caelum Vatnsdal and Nils Vik), Jeffrey and Humphrey is a project by "two prominent Winnipeg artists" who play the roles of rapping dinosaurs - Jeffrey, Humphrey and Dumb Buddy.

The minimally designed packaging is intended to preserve the anonymity of the artists, and the mystery of the date it was recorded.

Available for $15 from Into The Music, Winnipeg, @birdsnestrecords, and MKG127 in Toronto.


"With my headphones on, I entered the video world of Jeffrey and Humphrey, two snaggle-toothed hand puppets with long fanged beaks and mysterious Eastern European accents who preside proudly over their hubcap collection and belt out their instant classic "Doggie ain't got no bone!" I defy anyone to remain immune to their charms for more than 25 seconds."
- Sara Milroy, Globe and Mail, 2003
