Independent Bookbinding #2
Independent Bookbinding Instructions #1
A London suburb
I’m a victim of myself
Yes, I have become a slave of the stats. I am actually a victim of my own hits, and I have been suffering these days since the last post, which is ugly and now I hate it, but I think what I have to do is to piss over it, not getting rid of it –cos in that case I would recognize my defeat versus free blogging, which has been my intention since the launching of this. After a week that seemed the skyline of Canary Wharf, now it I have come back to Peckham, but without a library. Therefore, I just want to get rid of my vanity fair right now! And, I know, tomorrow I will regret, I will be tempted to have a look at my little skyline, but a city was never done in two days. And I declare myself on blog holidays because I want to dedicate myself to creating truly nice things, for all your future enjoyment. Also I want to read, reading will improve my barbarian english and is a balsam for my rotten soul. Forgive me if I seem stupid, I don’t think I’m thinking very well. Trying to be an artist (or whatever) has never been so hard…
All about me at Institut Français
You can see on the first photo ‘SHIT’ (my 2-pages comic all-about-myself, which I posted an early version some months ago) on the windows of the Institut Français, during the BD and Comic Passion Festival. SHIT will share a space with authors like Guy Delisle and Tom Gauld, which is a really big honour for such a humble piece of personal misery.
Basic Bookbinding
Hi! Just posted this to invite all you lovers of the beauty to come to Clerkenwell Creative / Craft Central. I collaborate with an informal and basic bookbinding workshop, on Weds from 4 to 6 pm. It’s free and you can just drop in, so see you there! See all nice photos of the event at http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativeclerkenwell/sets/72157629963102090/
(From left to right: basic sewing, japanese binding, coptic binding, and rubber binding –my favourite. All the examples are made with reused stuff and are 100% glue free)
