Some pictures of the great exhibition Characters "R" Us curated by Pictoplasma for Les Grandes Traversées at CAPC museum of Bordeaux. An impressive amount of drawings by various compulsive artists such as Yu Matsuoka, Stéphane Prigent (Kerozen), Dennis Typhus, Shoboshobo, & many many more, giving a fair and pleasantly united overview of different nowadays drawing practices.
Unfortunately, only 5 days of opening for an event easily deserving 2 full months... A strangely frustrating decision from this now back-to-sleep museum.
The good thing with Friends With You appearance at the Pictoplasma NYC event was to discover a show with meanings bringing their work further than an impressing kawaï good-looking shape work. Here you will see the most entertainable catchy parts, but other parts included messages dedicated to the promotion of true love between people, mexican-like esoteric figures, and even from time to time a healthy sexually explicit reminder. We want to make hundreds of babies with you.
Sorry no post since a long time as hell... This blog should rebirth along coming weeks with decent updates. Just a small post meanwhile to forward info regarding Shoboshobo Onsen Bustour.
Following the first 2005 unique Shobo Bustour experience this new edition offers another unique opportunity to share the Lucky Dragons holy mesmerized act, Vastieu Ramen visual and sonic raw craziness, Minifer aka Shobo himself and Lozi.

New bunch of webzines by Shoboshobo published by himself and Opuntia books ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life is Life, by Mehdi Hercberg, 76 pages under silkscreen cover, minimal evidence and powerfull regressive lines against wild hairy textures, printed on various colour papers.
Also new Decapitrons volumes bring a new dimension to the whole project, involving Hendrik Hegray, Kentaro Minoura and Matt Lock under the principle of alcohol printing. With each new issue, it definitely gains more strength, highlighting the specificity of this cheap forgotten printing technic really far beyond the simple joke.
