Fabio, by Kako

Kako is a illustrator friend of mine from way back, and you should all check out his work. We worked together on the Rockn'Roll one-shot (published by Image Comics), and he had the best story on the Comic Book Tattoo anthology last year. When we were all 13 years old and wanted to draw like Jim Lee, he was the one that, at that time, was closest to reaching that goal.

Bar sketch

Sketch from a bar we usually go. This bar sells comics as well, we have parties to release new books there, or to celebrate, or just to get drunk. That's the bar we took Ivan Brandon the first day he arrived in São Paulo, and where we took Michel Gondry's son, and maybe you'll notice one comic in particular from a friend of mine that is proeminently in display at the bar.

Now in our hands.
Published by Comma 22, our books keep speaking more languages than we ourselves have learned.

It's a wonderful feeling, like having a bastard foreign baby.

PIXU interview and preview.

We're focusing on drawing some pages,which is what we need to do right now. We want to work a little faster, and a little longer, and we want it to look its best, so we'll keep quiet for some days (or weeks). All for the sake of comics.

Two links related to our beloved group project, PIXU:

An interview with the four creators about working together and creating a complex horror story

A 17-page preview of PIXU, so you know what's in store when you have this beauty in your hands.

We just saw the design of the hardcover, and it will be awesome. It already is. We're so very proud of this story and we're thrilled it will be collected and in hardcover. Nothing says horror book more than a hardcover. Only maybe a dusty hardcover, but that will happen in time when you have your copy of PIXU in your shelf, and the years pass and you never open the book because you'll be scared of what is inside.

TOYS, sweet toys.
