We have been working hard to make a jewel of our next book which will be "Vortex", a collection of skechbook awesomeness by the Finnish comics artist Tommi Musturi. The book will come on full color insides with a thick 350 gr cover spray painted and printed from a linocut incision by the artist himself (every cover will be different!). The book will be available online after being presented together with an incredible two layers linocut art print at the Helsinki Comics Festival this weekend!

After a good period preparing the new issues we're finally proud to announce 3 new releases and a re-print that will be presented together with an exhbition and a live painting hosted next week by Limited Works - Hand crafted art prints next week in Copenhagen. Get ready for some skateboarding, sweetness and some other new weirdness!

Big news coming soon!! A new amazing fanzine is on the way 👏👏👏 @helloimjakob

Finally we're home! When three weeks ago we left Copenhagen for the small tour of presentations that has just brought us to Italy then to France and back to Denmark we knew very little about many of the situations in which we would have found ourselves. Now what we can say is that is geat to be suprised by amazing people!

In Turin we have thank so much Malvina of Libreria Trebisonda which hosted the first ever presentation of Thaumatropical in Italy and also owns an amazing bookstore which is worth to visit and happens to be the only one in which it's possible to buy our books in Italy, check it out if you are in Turin!

In Paris on the other side we've been twice suprised, firstly by the guys of Papier Gaché that hosted us at the 3rd edition of Fanzines! Festival and treated us so lovely for the two days of the festival, thanks! Then a special mention has to be for Clement, Renaud and David for turning a big question mark into our first presentation and exhbition in France. Even now the original drawings from "Apocalyptic Amaze" and "The Wind Was Blowing Strongly" are on show and possible to be bought at Books Factory Galerie on the Librarie Mona Lisait (211 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, Paris). It is also the first bookstore that sells our books in France and there you can also find a selection of limited edition prints and 4 murals realized by us. About Paris we should also thank and so much for different kinds of awesomeness Giulia and Elisa, Romain, Stephané and Jerk 45. Thanks so much, honestly we can't wait to be back!

Eventually after Paris we got back home but for our first Danish presentation. The show was this weekend and we have to thank so much Zven Balslev (who also played with his new project Heksehyl) and Troels for helping and hosting the lovely night we had at Insula Music.

Now we'll rest a little regarding presentations and festival but we'll work on what will be our new publications, in fact there's in program a fanzine, a big sized book and also some kind of a musical art book so expect some news and hopefully soon!

This is how we print our book-covers. By hand and one by one.

It’s an amazing pleasure, (after all the struggle it took!), to finally announce the release of the first two Thaumatropical books. It’s been some months now since we first conceived this small but ambitious project and having on our hands these (in our opinion) amazing objects it’s already an incredible payback. Our first release it’s a big book (A3-plus size) by Alina Vergnano, in 38 delicate and almost wordless pages narrates a sweet and sour story about love and the love for the flowers. Meanwhile our second release it’s a fanzine by Mattia Lullini, a psychedelic trip between weird poetry-like calligraphic verses and b/w weird illustrations. Both the books have hand-made linoleum cut printed covers and come together a limited edition linocut prints and eventually both are finally available on our new-opened webshop which you can now surf here http://thaumatropical.neueshop.com/

Also we know that it’s the both of us releasing these two books by ourselves, but firstly this was one of the first points that moved us building this project: creating our own books when nobody was actually asking us to do so and then, if we have to be honest, we liked what we’ve done and we’re already working on our next releases on Thaumatropical which won’t be by us but realized by other artists which we are so excited about we can’t even tell.

For now, we hope you’ll enjoy these first two books, that you’ll check for more pictures and details on our website at thaumatropical.com and that you’ll maybe navigate also our shop atthaumatropical.neueshop.com where you’ll find also some good bundles. Thanks in advance,

The first festival appareance for a new-born project is a very scary experience, but if we have to be honest the fear was over almost in the moment in which we started to set our small stand at the 28° Helsingin Sarjakuva Festivaalit. Positioned between some of the best European weird comics projects, treated so carefully by the organizers and so much (more than we thought!) appreciated by the amazing people that crowded the two tents in Lasipalatsi square we can only say thanks. But a thank you that is so general in our experience to sound like a thanks to Finland in general but then also in the specific to Otto, Maura, Helmut, Edda, Tommi, Tiina, Roope, Petra, David, Sanita, Simone, Chantal, Julie and all the other amzing people and new friends that has made this trip incredible.

Kiitos!
