HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY BRANDSTUDIO PRESS!

"TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN" THEY SAY.

Who the fuck are "they'? and why do they say that?

I don't know but in our case "They" are one hundred percent wrong.

In fact, we've been so busy pumping out tons of quality books in the past two years, it almost seems as if time just stood still, nearly sixty books have been released (more by the time Summer comes along). It feels as if Brandstudio Press has been around for ages, the new car smell is long gone, our sold-out books have become classic collectors items, going for ridiculous amounts of money out there in the black market.

This number may not be a record by any stretch for an established publishing company but for an artist driven movement is a tremendous achievement. Everyone knows artists are idealists, romantics, moody procrastinators and royal slackers who can't agree on anything and take forever and a day to get anything of consequence done. I, for one, fit that description perfectly. So, what it may have taken four or five 'artist years' to accomplish, we have done in two 'calendar years', with no signs of stopping.

Once more, I'd like to take advantage of this joyous day to give my heart felt thanks to those who have made and continue to make this possible: The participating artists and you, who support our movement by purchasing our products. Whether you buy the books from the artists themselves at the many conventions or from their websites, at the few selected retailers or at the Brandstudio Press online store, I personally want to thank you for the overwhelming endorsement and constant patronage.

GRAB MY STIMULUS PACKAGE

As you may know, here in the States, the government has passed an initiative designed to jump-start the ailing the economy. Critics of this so called "Package" rightfully claim, most of the incentives listed will ultimately benefit the folks who fucked us over in the first place, that is Wall Street assholes, insurance companies and investment bankers. I said last year that going forward I was going to refrain from political commentary, so you know where I stand on this issue and I'll leave it at that.

In the interim, just like I did last year at this very time, I am announcing my own Stimulus Package. This offer will go into effect today, Sunday March 8th and it will last until March 20th.

MATHIEU REYNÈS

My good friend Mathieu and Yours B. Truly are proud to announce this Brandstudio Press exclusive hard cover book which we are releasing simultaneously in both, France and the U.S. 

I've always loved Monsieur Reynès' expressive black ink drawings and lively watercolors of cute (and sometimes deadly) cartoon femmes, all of them crafted in the great tradition of classic French and Belgian comic  book art masters.

For our European audience: Mathieu will be selling this book through his blog so if you live in Europe and its vicinity please check his blog for the release date, it will make a lot of sense for our loyal European customers to purchase it directly from Mathieu.

 

This jam-packed 72 page sketchbook/art book will start shipping  in the U.S. Canada and beyond by next week, feel free to place your order before we run dry.
