HOORAY FOR THE BAD GUYS

So I'm working on this Dungeon Degenerates Fantasy World & just knocked out this new poster, "Hooray For the Bad Guys". I'm simultaneously working on the "Return To Fantasy" issue of PORK magazine & I'm crystalizing this enormous, but amorphous fantasy world that has been in my head for most of my life. Made out of paint fumes & fleeting glances of daemonic entities, virginal maidens lost in the forest, spider webs, goblin skulls & the primordial energies that lurk in the mazes of our minds. It's fun. It's fun & it feels like a big deal. You can get the poster at the GOBLINKO MEGAMALL.

The backside of sketchbook #57. Currently assembling ideas for the 'upside down world', a concept going back to medieval culture. I might do a large drawing with Gwen Stok along this theme, but also part of my The 9th Island story will contain an episode referring to it.

EBD Berlin show opening - April 22 2016

 So our Berlin show opened yesterday evening and I would say it was a big success. Lots of people showed up and judging from their reactions they generally liked what the saw. Here's a couple of photos to give you an impression of what the show looked like.

Copying the masters!

Recently, i found myself copying (from memory) the comic characters that i like, or that come to mind for some reason.

So, it's quiz time, kids! Can you guess sample A, B & C?

It was my hope that joining this blog would inspire me to do more improvised stuff, with less conscious guidance & more monsters, but so far i've only been daunted by the quality of my fellow EBDer's stuff. Well, here's a gorgon anyway.

JABBERWOCKY

Just finished this Jabberwocky poster! Quite stoked on it, one of my favorite poems & creatures in the world. You can get one at the GOBLINKO MEGAMALL. OH - here's a process piece I did as well!

 

Call for next Alkom'X

Hi there

Here's a double call for next Alkom'X issue, n°9 and 10

I don't know yet what's going to happen to n°9...! At some point I started being annoyed by the way it goes... It was like this shitty zine have to enter a specific market where everyone look at you like an enemy, or, if they are artists, like a guy to know on the road for success... And if you don't follow that way you're nothing interesting! Why don't open in Paris, why not being in all good bookshops & cool website, why not this or that???
Well, just because its not on purpose! Alkom'X don't need to be a showcase for emergent graphic world, fresh meat from artschool, but just being a funny way of being alltogether in one by promoting monsters and weirdos! Can we still do something for nothing except the pleasure of it?

So here's n°10 ! That translated into italian "Io" give "I" "ego", like a collectiv work made by all... here is the regular call and regular project everyone expect :)

So, feel free to suggest anything for n°9 but know that this will break the series by anyway, maybe like being a single booklet book or I don't know changing size, printing technic, or just by doing it myself with few guests! But if it has to be as big as others well its gonna be!

Then n°10 is widely open to all and you're all welcome to join the collectiv! Cheers Ducks
