comics comics

Today I need to buy comics. Seriously. Thats what happens when friends wake you up talking about artists and comics they have seen around that you would love. Before starting to work I need to spend the money that I dont have. I NEED it…its a force stronger than anything in this planet. What should I get? I dont know! I was thinking about some of the Moebius comics I dont have, issues missing of The Defenders, maybe some ramdom publications. I dont know! I want so many things…argh!. Like this, for example:

// I delcare today Nazario Luque´s national day at the studio!

fuck this shit

S.I.C.K.! – this cant be happening to me right now. 2 days in bed – SO MANY things to do…argh!. I feel like crap and that makes me think about weird and sometimes sad things:

// Me today

Well, I have watched this movie (something I havent done in a long time due to work overdose -  I mean watch an entire movie) which is pretty interesting and I highly recommend. Its about how fucked up the war is and how many lies are around it, how soldiers are brainwashed and still think they are doing the right thing after being seriously injured… as everyone already knows. But this is quite interesting and sad at the same time…

// Being a soldier, a cop or a bullfighter is one of the stupidest things you can do…

no hay tiempo, coño!

I havent been posting anything because I dont have anything interesting to say or post or whatever right now. Im working on a lot of things right now and Im pretty excited about it. Magazines, fanzines, books, record covers, paintings, shows…etc. I dont have time to breath, Jesus Crüst! so that means I should get back to work…NOW!
As someone used to say: trabaja, manolito!

rockwear / gsshgssh

Yesterday we went to Rockwear late as usual to print all the tshirts we had to to send our orders. As usual a last minute thing, it couldnt be anyother way…
But something happened, everything went wrong, we were cursed and it was not our fault. Follow the 5 steps of HOW TO NOT PRINT A T-SHIRT:

// Step 1: print it in a low res and fix all the pixels by hand from the photolith.

// Step 2: Light exposure to short.

// Step 3: print all the tshirts and dry them for too long in hell

// Step 4: burn them and fuck them up

// Step 5: Dye the few left by hand, one by one, spill all the ink all over everything and get your hands dirty making Juanlu, the owner, go nuts…

Although all this happened and luck was not in our side we DID print the 10 shirts so for all those who ordered them dont panic. We have them ready to be shipped!. And we got a pretty cool durable effec after staining them!. Wait and see…

// Voilá

The Impregk´nahek Casteleé vol.I / nobrow books

// first cover skecth.

In 2008/09 I started a book, a guide of characters from a made up world, a story around a Castle and their royal family. Each page is a drawing with a data sheet attached to all of them. 16 pages, screenprinted in 4 colors, limited edition, signed and numbered. It took me almost a year to finish it because the hardest thing was to write a meaningful story to describe the world around the castle and every creature in it, all the connections, names, tribes, symbols, places and kingdoms. All of them together to make sense.
I finsihed it almost 2 years ago and Nobrow books asked me if they could release it because they loved it. They release AWESOME stuff and do pretty good things related to art too! love them!
The project froze and time has passed. I look at it and I feel weird. I have changed my style quite a bit and this is the perfect example of such a tansition from one to another. It means a lot to me, especilly the whole story, where it was made and written and what I was going through by that time.
Finally, after talking to the guys at Nobrow again this book is going to be printed because the spirit is still alive and they are still very excited about this.
Here is the cover plus a few examples of the pages so you see what I mean.
Once this is out I guess there will be a release party. I guess it will be out of print fast since copies are very limited.
CANT WAIT!
I would like to thank Nobrow for their extreme patience! because It took me too long to finish it and I guess thats part of why it has not been printed before. Sorry!
It was supposed to be printed this month but who knows! this artifact has its own way of traveling through space and time!

// Early pages of the book (some may vary since more connections were made along the way)

PS-. Im already working on the second volume which will include new characters named in the first one, maps, spells and weaponry.

morbid + erik danielsson

Today, because I deserve it, I bought this and I cant wait it to arrive!. Listening to Hoax and The Repos early in the morning makes you do things like this instead of planing the day. I like Erik from Watain´s designs and stuff. He has taken sometimes-boring black metal art to another level making it look fresh and obscure in some other way. Adding color to it which is pretty difficult since everying there is so limited. Black metal sure needed that!.
Now I have to go and buy art supplies because I have lots of things to do, so many projects in mind waiting in line, so I will post something else later…enjoy your coffees (or whatever is that you´re having!).

t shirts

Due to popular request we have designed a new t-shirt for Gssh! Gssh! Records which will be for sale next weekend in a very, and I mean VERY, limited edition of 10!.
So if you are interested please email and get yours as soo as you can because we will never be reprinting them. EVER! (only S and M sizes, sorry!)


// New Gsshirt! – 12€ + shipping.

watdafacs

More pages from my sketch books, these are the last ones, examples, ramdom pages of the first 3 issues I have found (some pages have not been posted due to personal issues). I have around 5 0r 6 more that would have to be scanned. Something that I will not do right now…or maybe never if people interested are not finally releasing El Gran Watdafac. So enjoy while you can…

// I know this sketches are very different of what I usually draw. They are spontaneous creations, quick under several circumstances of my life…I would say that I have developed my style in some other direction too.

PS-. Watch this while listening Erik Satie´s Gnossiennes #1

fasenuova + extinción de los insectos

It had to happen!. Máxima Galaxia studio is putting up an opening party at Nasti Club this March/8th/MMXII and for it we are counting with the performance of two of the best bands in our country: Fasenuova (asturies) + Extinción de los Insectos ( madrid – former members of Ensaladilla Rusa, Campamento Ñec Ñec, The Mushitcians…and a pretty exciting etc!). EDLI is a new Madridian 2 piece band that plays twisted free punk at the speed of lighthunder, kind of Sir Richard Bishop meets Orthlerm (if that makes any sense since it would probably be another stupid comparison that the band does not really deserve because there is nothing in this planet to describe what they do. Because anyone has ever seen anything like this before, and I bet my future dog that this is true!. They havent invented a tag yet for this and probably never will. Come and check it out yourself). Fasenuova does not need any introduction or description since I already linked them to their new record. As you can see/hear, they are obscure and fucking amazing. Need more reasons to come? then you are a stupid moron…
