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.)
