“At night the roof of the tower when lit seems to lift off and the lights blink on and off like the rhythm of a fish breathing underwater. After my meal I walked towards the building as the rain had stopped. At ground level the tower is all blocked off with barbed wire and an iron fence secures the site as foreboding. It is no longer a Pirelli building but Comune di Milano.”

Jeff Jackson’s Ponti Milano show starts this Thursday, September 1st. The reception runs from 6pm–9pm. See you there!

Towers of steel and glass are decimating Toronto’s neighbourhoods, replacing communities with condos. Can socially motivated revenge save the city from condo hell? We’ll see. Condo Heartbreak Disco, Eric’s new graphic novel, due to be published on May 16, 2017, explores the damage wrought by unchecked capitalism in a psychedelic romp through the near-future landscape of urban Toronto.

Available for pre-order on Eric’s website or through Amazon.
