PRESENTATION
Satanic Holidays/ Days of Celebration is a true exercise of graphic debauchery: a long series of coloured stamps in wich graphic appropriation, fed by overlays, distortions and the inimitable shapes created by José Cardoso (Fafe, 1984), remind us some images whose familiarity is only apparent.
In this all-colour zine, Great satan goes to Hawaii, in a post-colonial nightmare!

PRESENTATION
Derby is the result of a project envolving Imprensa Canalha and Mike Goes West print studio. It's a entirely silkscreened book of a unique nature, since all the images were created directly in the silkscreen matrix, using a brush. It is a big challenge for the illustrator because this method {DIRECT METHOD} compels to a quick and spontaneous gesture and doesn't allow big corrections. 10 artists were invited to participate in this project: five from Lisbon (André Lemos, João Maio Pinto, Filipe Abranches, Jucifer and Luís Henriques) and five from Oporto: Marco Mendes, Miguel Carneiro, Nuno de Sousa, Carlos Pinheiro, and Zé Cardoso. The introductory text is by Pedro Vieira de Moura. The cover and text design is by José Feitor.

PRESENTATION
Raças Humanas (Humana Races) presents a series of illustrations for a Ernest Granger text, published in 1924, an essay about human diversity that mingled scientific facts and stereotypes common in those colonial times. The book starts with a 2 page comic inspired in a story told in a Jared Diamond's book, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (1997) about the fatal encounter between maoris and morioris, in the Chatham islands, in the XIXth century, that works as a lucid metaphor about what really explains the reason for such human diversity: the constant struggle for the dominio of natural resources.
This volume constitutes the last part of a trilogy initiated with O Mundo dos Insectos (the world of insects) e continued with Animais! (Animals!), a graphic essay around human nature, in its interaction with the rest of the animal world.

IC008 | UMA MESA SÃO TÁBUAS
Graphic design and
craftsmanship by José Feitor
Santa Justa Studio
March of 2008
The book A table is boards is composed of 11 stories created from old stamps with images of fruits - cherries, strawberries, apple and figs, among others. All histories turn on relations - love, friendship, complicity or altruism - establishing a link with the fruit (example: fig/maturity). The set is formed by an image and its respective story. The narratives are small, following the dimension of the book (10X10 cm) and function as small synopses, that can give origin to more complex stories, created by the readers.

PRESENTATION
Artur Varela {Almodôvar, 1937} learned sculpture in Lisbon, passed through Paris {Atelier Adam}, parked later in Holland during two decades and returned to Lisbon in the end of the 80’s. Meanwhile he had explored not only sculpture in wood and metal, but also painting, drawing, comics and video. After the experiences with super 8 format at the beginning of the 70’s {PORTUGAL 1973} Varela returns to the video media, armed with a top digital machine but using archaic methods and concepts of cinema. Animating drawings, images and static forms and making use of the comic art sequential codes, Arthur Van der Hella creates hilarious narratives about crucial subjects of contemporary history (the Lady of Fátima, Berlusconi, Salazar and Opel Meriva Fun).

Artur Varela {Almodôvar, 1937} learned sculpture in Lisbon, passed through Paris {Atelier Adam}, parked later in Holland during two decades and returned to Lisbon in the end of the 80’s. Meanwhile he had explored not only sculpture in wood and metal, but also painting, drawing, comics and video. The films integrated in Portugal 1973 fit in the exploration of super 8 format by a somewhat distant and cynical observer of the indigenous customs. Parts of these films have been projected for the first time in 1973, at Varela’s exhibition in the National Society of Fine Arts of Lisbon. Many years later, in 2000, the films would be shown in the scope of the Slow Motion project, in the Caldas da Rainha, directed by Miguel Wandschneider.
