Mimicking the aesthetics and texture of the famed Moleskin sketchbooks that artists have used for decades to hash out their ideas, Armpit of the Mole may very well become your new favorite drawing compilation. Forty-four artists have contributed six pages each to this book to present here their research of ideas or their depictions of various universes. Here Marcel Dzama brushes up against Michelle Naismuth, and Wim Delvoye and later blends into Florian & Michael Quistrebert, who lead to Thierry Agnone. The styles differ from distant to confrontational, formal to narrative, obsessional to nonchalant, and controversial to bucolic. Flipping through Armpit of the Mole, it feels as though someone tore pieces out of each artist's sketchbook and bound them all together. Yet, the collection of images is thought out and designed like a succession of varied and original works that are different yet connected--much like a good DJ set.

A mix of surreal situations and everyday moments from the cartooning of the famous Jean-Jacques Sempe, full of mishievous schoolboys, thwarted lovers, snooty holiday makers and frustrated commuters, all given humourous life with a text by 'Asterix the Gaul' translator, Anthea Bell.

This big and beautiful book presents a comprehensive survey of the work of one of Japans greatest and most influential artists, together with a collection of essays that focus on a key aspects of the masters career. The book opens with an introductory essay by Gian Carlo Calza presenting an overview of the changing world Hokusai was born into and lived through. This is followed by a series of essays by distinguished Western and Japanese scholars that present new research on a range of crucial areas of interest in Hokusai studies. These form a context for the core of the book, which forms a retrospective of Hokusais entire career, divided into seven chapters. Each chapter provides a succinct account of a phase in Hokusais life, followed by a series of the finest and most representative works of that period. Great care has been taken throughout to choose for reproduction the best-preserved original prints that reveal Hokusais mastery of line and colour to full advantage. This magnificent pictorial survey of Hokusais prints, paintings and drawings is the first publication in English to make such a rich selection widely available, and to demonstrate the extraordinary range and quality of Hokusais achievement. The final component of the book is a detailed scholarly commentary on each illustration that provides not only the necessary technical information but also a revealing analysis of style, colour, composition and motif.

Rendue célèbre par la série des Frustrés et des Agrippine, Claire Bretécher est une grande figure de la bande dessinée humoristique. Depuis toujours, elle peint les portraits de ses proches, soucieuse de la ressemblance souvent trahie, gommée ou grimacée sur les photos d'amateur. Une envie de capturer la présence des personnes qui l'entourent. L'accumulation envahissante de ces portraits dans les carnets intimes de Claire Bretécher a fait naître en elle le désir de les réunir en un recueil, comme on colle des photos de famille dans un album. Une facette inédite et méconnue de son talent.
