All Saints

AllSaints_coverillo_web

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.

cbavol23cvr_50x707mm_rgbMarcel 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.

Sånger om Björnar

2013 October

C’est Bon Kultur are proud to present a new exhibition, “Sånger om björnar” (“Songs of Bears”) at Biograf Spegeln!

Bears appear frequently and in many forms throughout history and are embedded symbolically in many narratives, from the Russian Bear to Winnie-the-Pooh and Smokey. In this exhibition, comics artists explore the world of the members of the family Ursidae. Delving deep into the mind of the animal, revealing playfulness as well as ferociousness.

“While we watch the animals in their joys of being, in their grace and ferociousness, a thought becomes more and more clear. That it is not so much a look at wild nature, as it is an insight into ourselves, our nature.”

Werner Herzog, Grizzly Man (2005)

Contributors: Henri Gylander, Allan Haverholm, Kolbeinn Karlsson, Karoline Stjernfelt, Mattias Elftorp, Christoffer Frostgård, Frøydis Sollid Simonsen, Bo Ashi, mf

C’EST BON ANTHOLOGY VOLUME 18 – Submissions.

volym-181

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?

Right?

The deadline is Mars 15th 

For guidelines and more information about the submissions, head to the submissions page! You can send in your work trough the site, or send it in an email to bo@cestbonkultur.com
