Coffe and Cigarrettes

This is one of the many personal projects I've been working on these days.I got really obsessed with erotic and simple instants of everyday life, after watching "Summer with Monika" by Ingmar Bergman and some other films which drove me to do this.
it all started with a few sketches and then it transformed into a 4 page, "silent" graphic novel (4 page graphic novel?)
The cover for the piece was a last minute decision, and the title , well the title , I can say I didn't put much thought into it. I later realized there is a film with the same title featuring Iggy pop in it.so I guess he does more than insurance company ads.

I'm not impressed

page one is a re-take on an old sketch. page two is from my last sketchbook....just thought I would share it.

pages , pages

sketchbook pages. and my obsession with mechanical gloves :D

sticker bomb 2

this morning I got an official confirmation of my work appearing on the book "sticker bomb 2" from the cool guys at SRK (Studio Thesrk).
The first time I saw "Sticker Bomb" I was really impressed. is such a brilliant book, with great graffiti artists and illustrators from all over the world.
you can either keep it as a precious book or go wild and use the stickers everywhere!

is due to be published around march 2010. I will keep you updated on any changes.

finally got the book!

hey! after the exhibition, I found out, the book (images 33) was sent to my old address and I had to retrieve it in a two days mission.
After getting the parcel and getting friends to pick it up for me , Alas! the book is in my hands. the book is pretty hefty, measuring more than an inch thick , containing all the work I saw at the LCC and a nice shot of Bear and boy!
