6 years / 4 zines (photos)

Fatbottom books gallery space.

As we told the last week, on friday we opened the exhibition 6 years / 4 zines on Fatbottom Books (in Barcelona), a retrospective of Robert's work for Bad Weather press. The exhibition includes original drawings from the first fanzine Tom’s fanzine, to the last one Northwest District, paying attention to works like Fast Chopstick published by Zángano Comix or different proposal sketches of letterings for the covers of the comics.

Zines of the Zone: Barcelona

The CFD hall

Ana Zaragoza García photobook "La famille poirot 1", we love it!

Yep, so Tuesday we made a short visit to the Zines of the zone event in CFD (Creació de Fotografía Documental) in Barcelona, organized with the Photobook Club Barcelona. We couldn't stay in the they did, but we take a look at the collection and we can guarantee that it's a valuable treasure.

We had the chance to have a look at the Booklet version of "Stories" named "Afterword".

I hope the next city on the tour: Vevey, Switzerland (you can see the full list here), can enjoy our photozines and collage zines, because we left a good pile.
