ART: London, Ont.–based artists James Kirkpatrick—also known as graffiti artist and rapper Thesis Sahib—and Jamie Q are launching their self-published, silk-screened zine and companion assemble-it-yourself paper sculpture kit, A Journey Through Time & Shapes. Working under the name Dusty Peas, the duo put together this package during a residency at the Roberts Street Social Centre in Halifax. Their style involves using images that are built up through colourful paintings and collage techniques. The zine features sixteen pages of whimsical art that "combines absurdity and abstraction through intuitive freestyle processes." With some scissors and a bit of glue, you'll be able to build your own spacecraft model with the accompanying paper sculpture kit. Both are available in a limited edition of a hundred copies, so be sure to snap one up this afternoon or place your order online. Art Metropole (788 King Street West), 1–3 p.m., FREE.
