Nous serons à Angoulême du 26 au 29 janvier prochains dans l’Espace Le Nouveau Monde, stand N°52. Venez nous voir, nous aurons plein de belles choses !

Nous présenterons l’essentiel de notre sélection, livres en anglais, en français, leporello, ainsi que quelques sérigraphies et feuilles de papier cadeau.

Evidemment tous nos derniers livres seront disponibles, mais en quantités limitées, alors ne manquez pas votre chance de vous en emparer… Il y aura entre autres la désormais fameuse revue Nobrow 6: The Double (en compétition pour le prix de la BD Alternative), Quodlibet, Big Mother 2 par le genie de l’illustration belge Sam Vanallemeersch, la seconde edition d’Hildafolk, Klaus, Chute et Ascension (version française de notre leporello le plus populaire), Forming, et beaucoup, beaucoup d’autres!

Luke Pearson (Hilda et le Géant de la Nuit, Everything We Miss, Hildafolk) et Jon McNaught (Birchfield Close, Pebble Island) nous rejoindront vendredi après-midi et seront à notre stand samedi après-midi pour signer leurs livres.

Luke signera Hilda et le Géant de la Nuit (ainsi que ses autres livres) le samedi de 14h à 15h30, et Jon prendra la relève de 16h à 17h30 pour signer Dimanche (Birchfield Close), dont la sortie en librairie est prévue pour mars 2012 et qui sera disponible en exclusivité à Angoulême.

Voilà! On vous attend :)

More Strøm process for Worse Things Happen at Sea

alex — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 18:03:39 +0000

I do not normally cover the progress of projects with some much detail, but the detail of this process warrants frequent updates for the sheer awe-inspiring splendour of Kellie Strøm’s technical wizardry, and here is the craziest part: this is just one colour separation! Mindstorm! Argh!

Hats off Kellie!

Kellie’s book, Worse Things Happen at Sea will be released simultaneously as a French and English edition in the Spring of 2012, keep your eyes on this space for more details and developments!

The Kellie Strom process

alex — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:17:05 +0000

I simply couldn’t resist the temptation to alert you all to the amazing process of Kellie Strøm’s colour separation technique. For some time now I’ve been dropping into his blog every once in a while to check up on how he’s getting on with an impending concertina book we’ve commissioned from him entitled Worse Things Happen at Sea and his visual documentation of the process is nothing short of glorious, as you can see by these examples. Strøm works in a manner akin to early chromolithographers, creating intricate colour separations which overprint to give the illusion of many more colours than are actually put to use in the printing method. Variants of this process are used throughout Nobrow books, the difference here is that unlike with many of our projects which make use of digital processes to achieve this effect, Kellie (like fellow Nobrow artist Atak) produces these separations entirely by hand! To see more of the process of both the drawing and colour separation of this project, follow Kellie here. (more images below…)
