COLOSUS 888









Colosus888 is a comic-book-anthology that publishes several Romanian artists.

This book has a certain aspect of avantgarde in regards to layout design. It is a well known fact among publishers that printed material is far less popular to the young generation than is used to be in it`s golden age, mainly due to color animated screens that grab most of the public`s attention. As a means to fight  back I think a more interactive printed press is a common answer. More articles, in a given space, more titles, more pictures, shorter texts, brighter colors. Copying the digital environment into a more traditional one.

Inspired by contemporary Chinese manhua monthly publications, that contain several comic-book-pages and ads on a normal book page, we took it upon ourselves to add as much as we could while still keeping this mainly, a comic book publication.

This was in a real sense a colossal project for the team, since it involved a great deal of post-production.

In an eighty pages long mag we managed to fit some 300 shrinked and extensively edited comic-book-pages, some few hundred webpage ads with functional QR codes attached to each, some few hundreds propaganda texts, to encourage young readers to read, draw and publish comics for themselves. Each comic page has it`s own translation into English, so it makes this a bilingual mag, and some few other elements to make this as interactive as cheap printed paper can be. There are also editorial texts, fan-letters  and fan-art.

Personally I like this idea and I hope I will get more chances to experiment with it in the future.

Colosus 888 was offered as bonus at festivals and book events to those who purchased DIY products from our booth.

The book saw the light of viewer`s eye for the first time at SainInk.
This was a co-production of OtakuEntSefeuCorp. and CCSReșița

Full Moon Regulator

This is a twisted trip into the unknown tunnels imagined by the unconscious. Heavily influenced by psychedelic PKD audiobooks and a great amount off feeling good. These 15 pages were layed down, directly in ink, in a densely populated bar in Arad and in full stream-of-consciousness-mode. Pure downhill manner.
The occasion was an organised drawing challenge.
Afterwards, at home, it took me two more weeks of nibbing and chopping at the paper, with my smallest(&broken) quilt(I should have a pic of it, it is a show), darkening as much as I could. Working mostly at night. I am always fascinated with drawing during the ”night”. This also made the art more emotional.
There are some interventions from a few friends, on the first spread, since this was made in public. There was a theme to begin with and this was sexuality, pornography, but I never meant to make it explicit so it's all about hints. Also it has nuances of politics, witch are killers for eroticism so this is the great dichotomy.
The lines(text) was added before the hatching, so after the pages were outlined.
So take your time with this. It is dark and I think, dense, but I hope enjoyable.
(edit) English version to be uploaded soon.
