Hey! A new book! Out now!
Samuel’s Little Revolutions / La petite révolution de Samuel was officially released last Friday.
This one dives deeper into the meaning of ‘Samuel’. It’s a text-based book written by Aarnoud Rommens, edited by Annabelle Dupret and released by La 5e Couche & Éditions images. The 144 pages contain as well lots of images from the two released Samuel books accompanied with sketches and visuals revealing a bit how its all done. Includes longish discussion between Annabelle and me as well.
So, if you want to learn what the heck Samuel is about, get this one. The book is bi-lingual (in English and in French) and you can get it from the publishers, retailers and me. Cover price 24 €.

The printers just gave birth to these two:
CRACKING is a 132-page picture book collecting my drawings, sketchbooks, illustrations, paintings, pixels +++ from the past ten years. Big size full colour burst with ca. 200 images. Includes an article ‘Emptiness to emptiness’ that collects my thoughts on working on the borderlands of art. Thanks to everyone who’ve helped and worked with the book – there are numerous of you. I started to work on the book ca. 18 months ago so this has been a mid-length marathon. Happy to have this out.
FUTURE#7 is Future: rich getting poor, cities decayin into dust, earth rotating still, life ending mostly, diamonds melting, future hardons and all that. After this there are three issues to go which I’ll try to get all out during 2022.
Get these both (including shipping) for 30€ in Finland, 40€ in EU and 50€ in the rest of the world. Or if you want just Future that’s 6€ worldwide incl. shipping (subscription to all 10 issues 60€). Note that I’m selling the Finnish edition of Cracking meaning the article and liner notes are in Finnish. It’s 97% just images though.
With Cracking I encourage you strongly to support your local dealers. The book is or will be out soon in seven languages:
Portuguese: Chili Com Carne / Tinta nos Nervos
Danish: Cult Pump
English: Fantagraphics Books
Italian: Fortepressa / D’Editore
French: La 5e Couche
Swedish: Lystring
Finnish: Zum Teufel
Peace!
