So... I'm bloody happy to announce a new book coming by end of May... It's a fully illustrated art book, featuring Black & White photographs of taken in Valencia, a beautiful Spanish city.
The arts of Valencia (painting, sculpture, archtecture, etc), have a unique style with a touch of darkness and a taste for the strange. Here is the book cover:
The Book title is: Valencia Noir - The Beautiful, The Fantastic and The Grotesque of Valencia, Spain
And here is the SYNOPSIS:
A Cold-Hearted Phoenix - Episode 2: A Trip to Hell is just out! Isn't it cool?
Here is the cover and synopsis:
Parental guidance: 16+
A Cold-Hearted Phoenix is a sweet-and-sour illustrated mini-series in three episodes. It is written in an experimental style, mixing screenwriting with prose.
This book includes 35+ illustrations and a unique layout.
In this second episode: VIKKI, who is out of job and hates summer to the bone, takes a drastic decision to escape the monotony of her life: to go on a trip with Marcus.
Let's watch how VIKKI'S holiday tour becomes a painful and tormented TRIP TO HELL.
You can learn more about it and the first episode here: http://tragicbooks.com/
