CONCERT POSTERS

Those rock and roll bands that are not hits in radio formulas have a special charm. They are not only moved by business and often, they don't even record an album. They play live gigs every weekend and their main objective is you to have a good time. Gig Posters VOL 1 book collects those art pieces that have been used to advertise those concerts.

MEETING SOMEBODY

Pernan, who never gave up drawing "doodles", is back to comic. He has arranged in a humble way, a special diary, in what nowadays are such fashionable methods like blogs, photoblogs and internet.
