An Ode to Print
Considering that printed material is taking a hard rap in recent times, I thought I would take a moment to defend these lovely “creatures”, those purveyors of words, of stories and memories. Everyday brings a new online magazine, a new web or blog where it its possible to discover new information updated practically to the second. This is all very good and nice, but where is the magic?
Como Pedro por mi Casa
Starting Monday 2nd and continuing to the 7th of November, the annual illustrated book festival, Como Pedro Por Mi Casa, is being held at La Central in the Raval neighbourhood. The event is organized by Julia Pelletier and is celebrating it’s 4th edition.
Mariscal Sketches Party
I was invited to the launch party of Mariscal’s new book Sketches this past Friday at Palo Alto. A new tome filled with the artist’s drawings over the years. I find his work a bit irritating, but I do believe he has played a very important part in Spanish design and illustration history. Part rebel, part provocative, Mariscal narrates stories through his drawings. Stories that we can all relate to, everyday situations, ingenuity with a naughty twist. He was the person charged with creating the 92′ Barcelona Olympic mascot, Cobi.
