So this is cool. Our own Brandon Graham will debut advance copies of Walrus at Gallery 33, Amsterdam.
The word is as follows!
Gallery 33 will soon be hosting multiple Eisner nominee and “one-man-comic-creating-machine” Brandon Graham, in an “open-studio” style exhibition and celebrating the world premiere of his new PictureBox book: Walrus. A limited number of signed copies of the book are available at the gallery before the official book launch end of June. Brandon will be in the space interacting with visitors, immediately putting what he creates on the gallery’s walls and windows.
Next to the Walrus book Brandon will have drawings and pages for sale and we will also have a selection of his other recent books and exclusive merch available to purchase.

New Brinkman
June 4th, 2013 by Dan Nadel
Mat Brinkman returns to the presses with Heads Collider, a 48 page exploration of drawing and color. For this one Brinkman drew heads on a sheet of rice paper, using the bleed through on the following pages as the basis of new drawings. So each page in this fine tome uses 3 drawings for each page — before, during, and after phases. The effect is like pulsing animation in print. This is a limited edition of 1000 copies co-published with the fine Le Dernier Cri of Marseilles.

News and Interviews
June 3rd, 2013 by Dan Nadel
Summer has arrived, and with it a slew of coverage for various PictureBox releases.
Let’s start it off with Gengoroh Tagame at the Huffington Post and Hazlitt. Both excellent interviews with the artist. And of course now until June 15 Tagame is exhibiting original art at Shoot the Lobster, NYC.
Meanwhile, Blutch was interviewed by Matt Madden over at Comic Book Resources.
Our Sun Ra book received a rave over at The Paris Review.
And Sammy Harkham is on video not only at the LA Review of Books (he did, after all, win the LA Times Book Prize) but also on French TV (fast forward to 4:19).
Meanwhile, now going to the printers is: Pompeii, World Map Room, and School Spirits. Look for those in September. Phew. Busy around these parts.

CF and MERE at Desert Island
May 21st, 2013 by Dan Nadel
CF’s new book, MERE, will make its American premier Friday, 5/24 at Desert Island, Brooklyn (540 Metropolitan Ave).
Come on out from 7 to 9 pm and celebrate the release with C.F.
About MERE:
In 2012 C.F. began to produce a series of more than a dozen mini-comics, which he distributed via Twitter. Each mini-comic offered a take on, and expansion upon, a classic comic strip genre-from crime and sci-fi to punk and sex-all of them infused throughout by C.F.’s absurdist humor and loose improvisatory drawing. Those comics, along with unpublished art and photos, are collected here.

Unfortunately we have to cancel all North American Blutch events due to passport difficulties: McNally Jackson, Bergen St. Comics, and TCAF.

Lots of talking for PBox artists.

-Jonny Negron is interviewed over here. Nice one.
-Brian Chippendale has had a whole slew of press for his new record, All My Relations. Here he is at The Quietus, Geek, Decibel, Tiny Mix Tapes. And here he is writing about his recent trip to Dubai.
