Timothy Comeau


Occasionally I write things and put them online, and I’ve done so for over twenty years. I wrote reviews for Broken Pencil magazine between 2001–2003, and I wrote for an email newsletter put out by the artist-collective I was a part of between 2001–2004. Between 2004–2009 I ran an email newsletter that curated articles from the web. I was also part of the inaugural team at BlogTo when it was founded in 2005. In the Twenty Teens I (barely) used Medium. The good stuff is archived here.
