Diari & Altres tafaners: Sold out

Good news from Bad Weather Press! Last weekend, at the GRAF comic and selfpublishing fair (see pictures here), two of my collage publications were sold out. But, both publications:"Altres tafaners" and "Diari" are still available (in a few copies) at Fatbottom Bookstore & Gallery. Quick!

I'm looking for the possibility to publish the third publication of the "busybodies trilogy" for Sant Jordi. And also the possiblity of having a small place on the street to sell them. We will see. If you want something nice, made with love, have a look at "El confort dels estranys", a 21 cm x 30 cm collage book published, again, by Bad Weather Press.

The Weird Show: Barcelona (workshop)

After the exhibition of “Certain kinds of trash” from Max-O-Matic, Me & the  Curiosity strikes again with the Barcelona edition of the International weird collage show. The exhibition is located on the Arts & Cultural Center Espronceda (number 326 of Espronceda street) and will remain open to the public untill the 13th of March.

This saturday 27th of February, we made a jam collage with some of the exhibition artists. It was a highly creative activity of four hours, here my cut & paste pieces:

At Minimum & Onion Rings

As some of you know or may have noticed, Bad Weather Press, the self-publishing house I co-founded some years ago with Robert Roura closes doors this 2016. A nice project-experience that helped me to join, know and meet people around the world. Yes, all of you  who once buyed a publication or only came to the table and criticised (positively or negatively), helped us to keep going on.

The latest publication of the press is "At minium”, a photograph project by Marc Llach, from Girona that I found at the Torroella de Montgrí photobook fair. (I totally recommend the publication we did at BWP). For my part, the latest publication was "Onion Rings". An illustrated collage in red and pink with a mix of traits that can be, sometimes, annoying. After all, food, women and ugliness is what predominates all the pages.

And the onlookers trilogy? I don’t know. The last publication called Tresors de la catedral (Treasures from the cathedral) has already the layouts and I will make some copies. I will take them to all the fairs we do with Bad Weather throughout this year and then we'll see. (Surely Fatbottom Books will have some copies so you will be able to buy it at the same time you find other graphic pieces from catalan artists).

Patufet, Diari and Onion Rings

Quick update at the blog with some news, specially from the last two fairs (both in Barcelona): Gutter Fest and GRAF. From Gutter, really happy to show other people the new zine from the trilogy i'm working on: Diari (Diary) . Also was a pleasure to talk about the other photozines I've been designing and publishing at Bad Weather Press. Two weekends later, at the GRAF (independent comic fair) I presented my new comic: Onion Rings. (The two day fair are well explained at BWP blog here).

Onion Rings is baptised as a comic although I see it as a illustrated collage, as explained in the Bad Weather website: the use of different thickness and style of the lines makes a visual separation that replaces the classic separation of traditional comics.

On GRAF I also noticed that... Patufet collage zine has been sold out. This is a really good news, means there are outside my house,  forty nine privileged people that has one. Keep it! For me, has been a project that I have taken lots of affection. Now, i'm working on a new themed one, I've been updating some digital collages here on the blog and on my facebook page.
