All Saints

C’est Bon Kultur has decided to take our anthologies one step further and will now publish every other anthology as CBA Presents, which focuses on an individual artist who we think deserves a wider audience. First up is Dutch artist Marcel Ruijters with his funny and unusual All Saints! This is a collection of short stories featuring female saints and their lives, depicted in a style inspired by illuminated manuscripts and told with a wry sense of humour. It is in full colour and co-printed in Danish, by Forlæns, and in Dutch, by Sherpa.

Marcel Ruijters is well known in his home country, and is published in several other european languages. But to this date he has only been published once in English, by Top Shelf, with his novel Inferno, which also won the prize for best Dutch graphic novel in 2008.

We’re really excited about All Saints, and look forward to publishing other interesting artists in the future.

Open for submissions: C’est Bon Anthology volume 22: SINGULARITY

The word Singularity has alot of different, variations, versions and comes in many colors. Many different professions and studys have their own version of the word, but one definition unites them all:

Change, and transforming into something undefined. Something far beyond what we know now.

For the next issue of C’est Bon Anthology, we want to know what you belive lies beyond or what the word Singularity means for you.

The deadline is in between now and March 15th! You can use the submission-page on our website or send us an email to info@cestbonkultur.com!

C’EST BON ANTHOLOGY VOLUME 18 – Submissions.

C’est Bon Anthology volume 17 is here from the printers any day now, and we are looking forward to what’s going to be our next issue. After celebrating our ten year anniversary and looking back at our history, we return to our roots. For the next volume of C’est Bon Anthology the theme is a question; WHAT IS ART? What defines the artist? What makes something art?

And as usual, what we’re looking for are comics that rely on artistic ambitions and a will to experiment rather than what has been done a thousand times before. We want to expand the boundaries of what’s possible to achieve in the comics medium. Try new things, experiment and explore! Because that’s what art is all about, right?
