Hello! This year I'll come to the Angoulême festival! If I still have some left, I'll bring the last copies of graffitips with me but as I'm not registered anywhere, your best chance to find me is either to look for an intoxicated guy wandering between the spinoff and the pow wow events, or to send me a message.

The zines are still available on loiq.bicartel.com but if you want one you should hurry, I don't plan to reprint anytime soon.

I finally got instagram! You can now follow me @loiqloiq.

And I reuploaded the graffitips PDF for free download!

I'll be at the Unlock book fair in Berlin! I'll have copies of the zine with me. There's gonna be loads of interesting books, come check them out!

I’m back from Lisbon! Never expected to have so much fun at something that’s called an academic conference. Huge thanks to Pedro Soares Neves for organizing the event and to Javier Abarca for inviting me there, that was a really pleasant unexpected surprise.

As promised, I just reopened my online shop! You can get the second edition of the graffitips fanzine, now with a riso printed cover and slightly brighter pages for better legibility. (see photo)

And since I finally found a satisfying way to ship these riso cathedral posters I made a while ago, they’re finally up there too!

With each order you’ll get a free screen printed postcard! It’s a remake of the « trahison des images » (« betrayal of the pictures ») painting from Magritte. I’m usually not into copying someone else’s work but I really like the point he made about how we tend to confuse representation of objects with the objects they represent since this applies really well to my opinion on “graffiti” canvases, prints and such: once you strip graffiti of its performative, ephemeral and contextual aspects, all you have left is a picture, that usually doesn’t signify much beyond its decorative value. I know this point has been made thousands of times before but I still think it still needs to be said.

One last thing, the full PDF of the zine is free to download again here! Link expires in a week.

XoXo y’all

Hello!

A few good news:

After a series of delays that were beyond my control, I finally received the reprint of the zine! Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, and thank you for still being here and reading this!

Unfortunately, I can’t reopen the online shop right now, because I’m leaving in a few minutes for Lisbon! I’m participating in Unlock talks, which is part of the Lisbon street art & urban creativity international conference. I’ll talk a bit about this project, and bring some zines with me.

The shop will reopen as soon as I come back. It might even have a few extra cool stuff.

Oh, and here’s an updated link to download the full PDF!

The few last copies of the first edition of the zine will be available here tomorrow in Grenoble, France! (The second one should be available at the start of June)

Hello!

So the zine is currently out of stock and I'm waiting to get a reprint of it, which should arrive this month. But right now I've decided to release the full PDF for free.

You can share it with your crew, friends, grandparents, kids, lawyer, etc. Feel free to print it yourself but don't sell it or you'll be cursed, your caps will get mysteriously clogged and your next marker will leak in your pocket for no good reason.

The link is valid for a week. For an optimal reading experience, make sure to set up your PDF reader to see both left and right page at the same time. I guess I'll post here the pages that were only in the zine so far over the next few days.

Shout out to everyone who made it to the opening of the Viral Vandals exhibition! I had a great time, met a few living legends and visited unexpected places.

The show is up until the 2nd of July and displays the work of several of the hottest contemporary graffiti writers. And mine!

Huge thanks to curators Jasper Van Es and Good Guy Boris for this opportunity, to all the MU crew for their kindness, professionalism and booze.

The crowdfunding is now over and most people who ordered the zine must have received it by now.

I still have some left, so I’ve set up an online store and you can now buy it through paypal for 15€ (worldwide shipping costs included).

There are 9 pages of content that’s never been published on this blog inside!

(32 pages - 14,5 x 19 cm - risograph printed, screenprinted cover)

Oh, and here’s my other blog where I post random stuff that’s not about this project.

Thanks for your support everyone!

[graffi-tips]

I’m proud to finally announce that I’m part of this show! The line up is so amazing and the theme so interesting that I think I would’ve checked it out as public anyway: this should be the best place to ponder on the latest evolutions of modern graffiti culture. Not just because funny-smelling cigarettes are legal there.

Hello everyone!

I’ve finished crafting everything! After I finish posting the zines to everyone who participated in the crowdfunding,  I’ll set up an online shop where you can get a zine through paypal, so all of you who didn’t had money, a credit card, or who were touring exotic train yards at the time of the campaign will be able to get a copy!
