is a multi-disciplinary artist, writer, performer, and comedian. His writings
and visual artwork have appeared in numerous publications, books, and
exhibits. His next book Cold Glitter: The Untold Story of Canadian Glam, will
be published by Feral House in 2024. His previous book The Empty Bed
published by Impulse[b] is a pen-and-ink humor book about heartbreak. Dayton
has performed across North America and Australia as The Canadian Romantic, where
he manifests as a series of videos, live performances, a doll, an art book
published by PITT Projects, and a winking photo to make people everywhere feel
more attractive. He has acted in independent and art movies, including one
called “Male Fantasy.” His collaborative musical performance and recording
projects include song-and-dance duo Canned Hamm, the 'no two shows the same'
multi-piece July Fourth Toilet, acid-downer-folk group Points Gray, and
Romantic Glam band Hallmark. Besides these projects, he has also released solo
material, including an EP called "Someone Is Out to Kill Me." He has
been a muse to such diverse artists as Destroyer and Tonetta, who have each
written songs about him with such titles as "Canadian Lover." Dayton
holds an MFA from the University of Waterloo.view less
