We will be going to the Angouleme festival this year as well (29th January – 1st February). Together with our friends from No Comprendo Press we will be sharing table at Le Nouveau Monde pavilion (N69). Participating artists from Jippi will be Xueting Yang, Martin Ernstsen, Håvard S Johansen and Tor Ærlig.

Watch out for the traditional Norwegian comics refreshments and aquavit drop in lounge Friday 19.00 at our table where you can meet all the artists and taste refreshments.

This is POP! Here is a soundtrack in Spotify to the new Jason book POP! picked by Jason himself.

POP! is the first book just focusing on Jason as an illustrator. The book is a collection of inspirations from both high and low culture. Here we find characters and artists from music, literature, film and comics placed in the well known Jason universe. The meetings of various art forms create a new whole, but also give us insight in the creative process that the readers of Jason comics will know.

Order POP! here.

Larrys botaniske studier (Larry’s botanical studies) is a collection of illustrations from the illustrator Lars Aurtande. The illustrations are detailed studies of nature and technology in a fantastic reality not far from our own. The book is without text but the pictures tell stories that are interesting to explore for both children and adults. Order it here.

We will be going to the Angouleme festival this week end. We will be sharing table with No Comprendo Press at the Nouveau Monde pavilion. Participating artists from Jippi will be Martin Ernstsen, Sigbjørn Lilleeng, Karstein Volle and Lene Ask.

Syklus by Martin Ernstsen and Kilian Eng is a colorful vision from the future. In the short story we see both the end of the world and the worlds resurrection. With Kilian Engs detailed and poetic illustrations Martin Ernstsens turns the world as we know it, but the story has a lot of room for interpretations. (Unfortunately it is sold out.)

Jippi will have a table at Stockholm International Comics Festival this week end. Sigbjørn Lilleeng and Kristian Hammerstad will be there presenting their new books Generator and Kryp. Rui Tenreiro will also be there presenting Museum and Høytiden. More information on the festival web site.

Also this year Jippi will be at the Mocca festival in New York. Max Estes will present his crooked trilogy as well as other Jippi publications.

Max Estes is out with his new crooked book, Det krokete sporet (The crooked track). As in his two previous books, this is a wordless and playful crime story. This time the story is set in snowy winter landscape. Order it from our shop.

The comics festival in Bastia in Corsica will take place next week-end. There will be a Norwegian exhibition there called Krøll. Severeral Norwegian artists will be there as well, among others Jippi related artists as Jason, Martin Ernstsen and Lene Ask. Read more on the festival home page. The French language anthology, Blekk, will also be distributed on the festival. You can also get Blekk from the Norwegian embassy in Paris.
