angouleme 2011

A few pics from Angouleme's International Comics Festival 2011, just to give you a lil' taste of

what our eyes were drewling over. Amongst tones of comic books hoarded from China to Finland to

Serbia,on shelves and stands, we came across a tiny exhibition of works by Dominique Goblet,

who also held an intense discussion on her ouvre, a myriad of mind bobbling exhibits at the

Comics Museum, one unique showcase of Hong Kong bd ... feels as though i've seen enough

comics to make me vomit rainbows on a daily basis.

Also, Hardcomics Crew together with Jumatatea Plina managed to distribute a whopping 600

copies of The Book of George to future Romanian comics fans from Europe and beyond.

We met up with at least a dozen creative comics collectives and publishing houses.

Oh! and i forgot to mention the very delicate but brutal exhibition of the new generation of

Belgian bd artists which included names like: Raul, Ilan Manouach and the previously mentioned

Miss Dominique. Le Dernier Cri was also present, bastard child of the festival, protesting alongside

other likeminded anarchists. For more info check Jumatatea Plina's site during the following weeks.

à bientôt!

bunicul m-a invatat sa desenez si ma ducea la gradinita in fiecare zi. pe drum spre casa ne

opream la librarie de unde-mi cumpara o gramada de carioci si creioane. acum are 81 de ani.

ramane unul dintre cei mai veseli si glumeti oameni pe care ii cunosc.

last year i came across one of the best books i've ever read,

and i rarely read since i'm a jumbo size lazy ass. here it is:

The Posthuman Dada Guide. It's available in Romanian as

well, so there's no need for ebay baby. Inside i discovered

artists like Mina Loy and Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven,

amongst many others. i leave you with an introduction to

the book, by Andrei Codrescu.
