The other two participants in this fuzzy pic (by Pierre Druilhe, who is in the show as well) are Caritte and Besseron, also underground oldtimers from France. J.J. did a completely off-the-wall graphic zine called Sortez La Chienne! in the 1980s. I did some stuff for that, so we go back a long way but we never had met before and so we got a little sentimental about that after a few drinks. Some 20 artists from mostly France are in the show, which was a sort of Charles Burns tribute. I guess he was a big influence on a certain generation. I did the El Borba on the right:
These are silkscreens prints done by La Secu, done in a printrun of 100 each. They are for sale for only 20 Euros per pop, or 300 for the whole bunch. Check for more info http://galerielasecu.free.fr/pdf/PRESSE-11-12.pdf. All in all a great show. Too bad Mr. Burns was not present. The exhibition lasts until 2 February 2013.

must be a good show, too far for me but... this remind me a book from Charles Burns, "Close your eyes" (LDC) where he do copy/interpret others artwork... that's kind of return
Yes, exactly! A very nice book, that is.
