A special event to launch Troy Cook's Scary Days Ahead. 
 
A celebration to launch Scary Days Ahead, a collection of Troy Cook’s art and words.

Larger than life, full beard and pork-pie hat, Troy ‘Bubba’ Cook was for many the very definition of iconoclast. A man truly invested in art-as-life. He marched to the plunk of his own ukulele and boom of confetti cannon. Artist, musician, labour activist, social justice warrior, doting cat dad and loving husband.

A gifted polymath, it is hard to overstate the various and profound impacts Troy has had on his home community, his musical community, his artistic community, his labour community, his political community, and his community of friends. By turns empathetic, dry, funny, wise, and sardonic, Troy left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

In 'Scary Days Ahead' he records his cancer battle in his own unique and imaginative way. Troy passed away on December 10, 2022 at the age of 53. 

Books will be available for $50 via e-transfer or cash. To pre-purchase a book, email Deb at [email protected].
 
Proceeds from sales will go in part to the Nell Smith Memorial Fund and the Twin Meadows Animal Rescue Society.
