Vanallemeersch and Nobrow bring you a BIG Mother….

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Comments Off

Big Mother 2 By Sam Vanallemeersch Nobrow Press I’m just not the right person to appreciate this. I’m a comics guy, and my art tastes veer strongly to the sort of art that looks great but does so in service to a story. So basically Big Mother, as an A3 collection of artwork by Belgian [...]

Meet Hilda!

Last week we had to mention the wonderfulness that was DeadlyKnitshade’s amazing knitted version of Nel from Blank Slate’s Nelson (which, incidentally, went on to raise a load more money  – £250 – at auction for the homelessness charity Shelter which the book is supporting – well done, all). This week more hand-made comics figure [...]

Klaus By Richard Short Nobrow Press Always nice to see something you once held in your hands as a hastily put together self published comic turn, thanks to the art publishing skills of Nobrow, into a rather tasty looking A5-ish hardback, of the sort often found frequenting stockings at Christmas, albeit usually not as fine [...]

Forming By Jesse Moynihan Nobrow Press Forming’s a huge book, in size and theme. Size first – an oversize, bigger than A4, 122-page hardcover from Nobrow, with all the gorgeous design touches and flat-matt colours that we’ve come to expect. Always lovely to look at.

Everything We Miss By Luke Pearson Nobrow Press Beautiful presentation, two tone orange and black, a style reminiscent (somehow to me) of a dark Ladybird book or something slightly beyond my memory from childhood.
