Bulletin:

Hey you!

Well, as my Christmas gift to all of you friends who keep watching me and stuff, I prepared a nice surprise.

Anyone remember when I told about Front?
Front is a brazilian almost-indie album featuring many great names of the indpeendent universe around here. It´s a magazine made by a group of people over an email group and a website.
We determine deadlines, themes and etc, then the work begins.

The latest issue, themed DREAM, will most likely be released in January. It´ll feature two shot tales which I illustrated, but the big deal is that my comic "Us - Dream Sequence" was not chosen in the final cut for being too long, although very appreciated.

If you´ll remeber, I did a comic called Dream sEquence I back in 2005, with 5 pages. For Front, along with the different page format (landscape) I chose to redraw it all, and began a big sequential journey. It ended up as a 8 double-paged silent story. I loved the result, it´s one of my best works so far.

Also, if you get the pages all together, they can be read as a single-paged story with almost 6 meters in length.

I´ll post here all the process of this story, from the early sketches to the pencils and then, inks.
Also, if I can get it to work, a small but readable version of the one-paged monster.

Even tough it wasn´t published in Front, the comic (the single-pages monster) is exposed here in Campinas in an exhibition that gathers the rejected artists of the 14th Contemporary Art Expo of 2007.
Actually, it´s more like the really best from that expo, since they chose the WORST and most bizarre pieces of shit they could, letting a whole bunch of phenomenal artists thinking they´re crap.

But well, it´s CONTEMPORARY ART, so anything goes.
But as far as I´m concerned, a comic story with that sequential narrative, with the 6 meters in length, is very contemporary to me.

Anyway, very soon, you´ll be able to judge by yourselves.
Hoep you all have nice weeks and a marvelous holyday season!!

Best,
Mario Cau
