GRAF (Photos)

Last weekend (4, 5 and 6) of March took place the Barcelona edition of GRAF festival. We were sharing space with our friend Enrique (from TD Papeles) and some really nice people from Termita Press (check website! Amazing drawings). Here some shoots:

We are happy to anounce that we sold out "Natureza, Luz, Homem", "Altres tafaners" and "Diari". But! If you are looking for some of them, there are still some copies at Fatbottom Books (they have online shop), and even, the most wanted "No Wave" punk photo book from Darryl Reid! :)

Like the past year, the Ignasi Iglésias library (specialized in comics and Fanzines) had a wonderfull comic selecction of comics and selfpublished stuff open to the visitors. Also, de sofa was a nice place to drink coffee... eh? Hehehe.

As at previous editions of the festival, audiences will have access to limited distribution materials and publications that are practically hand-crafted at more than seventy stands hosted by authors, associations and independent publishers.

All the publications you are going to be able to find at the fair.

A series of talks and round tables will introduce discussion of the current state of the graphic arts industry, whilst various workshops aimed at both old and young will invite the public to put their own skills to the test, guided by some of today's leading illustrators.

To get an idea of what last year's edition of GRAF at Fabra i Coats was like, have a look at the video summary here:
