Jornada!

Jornada is a book created when I crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a sailboat, and reflect particular feelings of isolation and wonder. It also features pornographic content. During this trip I produced many photographies, drawings and texts, a selection of which makes the main content of the book, together with some text excerpts from Jean Genet, Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. The book is being edited by Gloria Glitzer and me, carefully printed in Risography at the we-make.it studio in Berlin, and hand-bound by us the editors. Come this Sunday at Pony Royal to check it out!!!  We´ll have a performance by the new project of Panxi, the lead singer of the band Samanta: YEAH! Stay tuned for the upcoming Paris launch!

The right time to get it!

You can now buy online 3 of my recent publications at the fabulous Staalplaat shop:

http://staalplaat.com/newsletter/staalplaat-shop-updates-for-may-21st

They are also available for sale at Florence Loewy´s artist-book shop and gallery in Paris. In Berlin they´re for sale at Motto and Staalplaat. I haven´t talked about one of my self-published Zines on the blog yet, so here it goes...

Our Dwarf Told Us is a Zine made of appropriation, collage, photography and drawing. It deals with the excess of cultural stimuli that surrounds us, creating absurd narrations that point to hidden manipulative intentions.

It makes fun of some myths that are in the basis of our western civilization, such as christianism and capitalism, as well as of the supremacy of technology over life. It sees culture as an enemy.

Edition: 300 copies, each one differently costumized with collage. Contains 50pgs.

It costs ONLY 8 euros!

          The São João residency is calling for projects! LAST WEEK FOR APPLYING!!

***

Feelings is a hand-bound Risograph zine based on collage. It captures in its fauve colours the pure beauty of memory, and has joyfull intuitions of the present time. It was printed by Moritz Grünke at We-make.it, and contains appropriations of pictures by Maria Luque and Powerpaola.

Please scroll your browser to the right in order to fully see the images. This is just a digital preview. After the launching I´ll write here where to buy the printed publications in Berlin. 

                            

  ***

   O paradoxo da presença questions the difficulty of being present in a world overwhelmed by cultural stimuli. Image rockets collapse, their hidden meanings expanding, resonating. Internal echoes reverberate signs found on isolated paths. Both intimate and political, its 124 pages feature arab skylines, sausage adds, colected butterflies and the drawing of a knife thrower.

The book features special drawing collaborations by Powerpaola and Noah marim (my 4 years old nephew).

Buy them in Berlin at Motto or Staalplaat. In Paris, find them and 2 other publications I edited at the Florence Loewy artist-books shop and gallery in the Marais.

Artwork for BCBG

Artwork I did for the parisian band BCBG. The typography is by Maria Luque.

"I'm not sure what kind of drugs you'd need to take to come up with artwork like that, but if I was offered them I think I'd probably pass for fear of my brain falling into the abyss and never returning."
Critique by KevW at Sound of Confusion.

Contact me at comantoniosobral@gmail.com if you want me to do graphic design for you   ;-)

I also shot this VIDEO for the band, together with Dácio Pinheiro and Manu Sobral from São Paulo.
