TonioK presents … The cartoons of Miguel Angel Martin *

* (restored)

Miguel Ángel Martín (León, 1960). Comic artist, scriptwriter, illustrator and poster creator.

He has received an infinite number of awards, including the prestigious Yellow Kid for the Best European Comic Artist (1999) or the Attilio Micheluzzi Grand Prize awarded by Comicon in Naples (2003).

Few authors have achieved such recognisable graphics, such translucent reading and such a controversial and particular thematic world. He declares that he is influenced by the most radical and underground electronic music scene and his work betrays a fondness for technology, science and pornography.

 

COMICS

KEIBOL BLACK

Psychological violence for European youth.

 

PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS

Adults only! The most violent and repulsive komik ever made. It was banned in Italy.

 

BRIAN THE BRAIN

Brian the Brain is the story of a child born without skullcap, he’s the result of a genetic experiments lab. Brian’s an outcast because his brain sticks out of his head, but his brain is also the symbol of his intelligence.

 

RUBBER FLESH

The hardcore mix of full-color brutality and pornography, along with a heavy dose of sci-fi conspiracy, still makes for a very good-looking book.

 

SNUFF 2000

25% Psycho Sex – 75% Ultra Violence. The sex choice for a New Generation.

 

PLAYLOVE ‘where the streets have no name’

Graphic novel. A story about love and self deception. The story of a girl who falls in love with an alpha male. A different point of view about the human relations.

 

BITCH

Bitch, a grafittist girl who lives in a “social centre” (squatter) gives us a new point of view about the globalization, the xenophoby, the hip-hop, the tatto and piercing culture, the conspiracy theories and the homosexuality.

Cover

Be it spring cleaning in a see-through apron while two wealthy women have sex or performing with ‘Tinker Bell’ while ‘Peter Pan’ whips her, the life of a teenage prostitute in Beverly Hills was never dull. Often dark, sometimes hilarious, but never dull.

Arriving in LA to attend college, but desperate for money, Sterry met a pimp who established him as a male prostitute serving a wild variety of well-off women (and occasionally men). This is his unflinching account of the twisted Wonderland of post-Sixities excess he encountered: peppered with frank descriptions of the work of a ‘sex technician’.

p.s. RIP Alvin Lucier. ** wolf, Yay, the legendary wolfish buche tip to stern decimation/exoneration! Let’s compare notes. The red shoes, definitely probably. So-so on the sled. Giant honey dripper is my #1 so far. Yeah, white log thing, not bad. I think the beret wearing log is a cake, or else I fucked up. Epi d’hiver: possibly too elegant but yeah. Totem: dreadful. I like the lollipop. Its dumbness charms. I won’t buy it though. And Dalloyau’s stuff never tastes all that special. The Four Seasons abstract-y cake is a purchase possibility. The globe with the little forest inside is in my top 3 easily. I like the Racine, best of the logs. Forêt Mont-Blanc looks gross to me. La vie en rose: yawn but probably pretty edible. The Trianon Palace cooking set with cutesie bird cooks looks like it could be total genius, but I’m not going all the way to Versailles to buy it. Candles: meh. Bois d’Atlantique is probably delicious and it looks suave. (The texts almost all come from a site called sortie.fr) The honeycomb frame buche is probably my #4. Laduree’s jewelled buche is better than their usual. The first letterbox impresses me much more than the second letterbox. I of course don’t know the Montagne Sainte-Victoire and I’m not going to get that one but it does look really delicious. Bronze: very, very mildly charming. The Hermes doesn’t excite me visually but I’m sure it’s juicy. The big eclair is great, of course. Yeah, thought that counts on the gingerbread house thing. Haute Couture: other than the nice bright colors, meh. Thousand and One Nights: It’s in some far away city so I don’t have to think about it. Sapin yule log: exactly, delicious, The Ritz, what’s not to anticipate? Jazz 1910 de Madagascar: It’s so shitty looking it amused me. The Sinner: I don’t know what is either, but I feel somewhat compelled by it. I like the tree decoration bulb one, but it’s too small. I guess the guy who did the Molitor is a ‘famous’ French tagger, but I’ve never heard of him. Totally down with the paving stone one. Super tempting. But I think you can only eat it in their restaurant, and I don’t do those. HOMMAGE À LA NATURE: Impressive but … I like the wine barrel, very clever but, again, it’s in Berne not Paris. Reindeer thing: yeah, what’s not to eat/like. Cinderella one seems pretty solid, like a B. The Maison du Chocolate one is just ridiculous, and at 2000 euros, but in an edition of only 10, so it got picked for display by virtue of its presumptuousness. Fun. Thank you, thank you about the Santa chapter. I think it’s my favorite. Whoop! Love! ** _Black_Acrylic, Good choices. I wish Trianon Palace wasn’t an hour by train plus a 20 minute walk away. Larger sized clothes are eternally stylish. ** David, Well, I would hope so. Wow, your video is rocking and weird = awesome. Everyone, David says … ‘here is a video clip of a 3d christmas thing I did a very long time ago using a shell and other bits I found,,,, set to a familiar festive tune….’ It’s funness. Check it out. ** T, Hi! Save your pennies or whatever they call French pennies. My guess is the big eclair is probably affordable? Get your friends to chip in and have a group buche devouring meet up? That’s what I do. There is in fact travesty that needs to be undone, so good thinking and thank you. I hope your today gives you a buche gift certificate, or make that 25 of them. ** Dominik, At the moment my likely purchases are (1) Honey stirring spoon, (2) red shoes, (3) little forest in a ball, (4) honeycomb frame. But we’ll see. Your picks rock! Love blowing pot smoke into the nostrils of a gigantic squeaking mouse, G. ** The Black Prince, Hi, Prince! Well, or the most appealing one for you to eat, even though, yeah, you can’t actually eat one, and I can, so … hm. I wish I could teleport the bonbon to you, I do. I’d love to eat the red shoes, and I might just. I want the honey stirrer the most, but I might buy two of them. Oh my. ** Steve Erickson, That is a weird coincidence. An unpleasant one, in a way, but it’s too late. Everyone, Steve has reviewed the new Paul Verhoeven filmic shebang ‘Benedetta’ here. ** Bill, Paving stone, eh? Gotcha.Yeah, it’s a sweetie, but you have to eat in their restaurant, and that’s a big drawback for me. Good question about the buckwheat prevalence. I don’t know. I think I saw that documentary on soap2day. If so, I’ll join you. ** Adem, Hi, Adem. Welcome, and thank you for entering this place. Sure, great, let’s have a coffee. When’s good? You can write to me at denniscooper72 @outlook.com if you like. Sadly, I don’t have a scan of ‘Predicate’. I have a copy in my Los Angeles apartment but that doesn’t do either of us any good. Cool, hope to meet you soon. ** L@rst, Hi, L. Were you around here 12 years ago? Quite possibly, I think. Wow. Saw something in my inbox, and I’ll open when I’m in the clear (of here). Thanks, buddy. ** Brian, Hi, Brian. The USA should hop onto to the Xmas buche phenom. ‘Blind Beast’ is really fun, and I haven’t seen ‘Irezumi’. I’m happy to hear the new PTA is good since I would definitely see it either way. As ever, best of the very best with the workload. Eyes on the prize and all of that. I hope your early sleep did its magic trick on behalf of your today. ** Derek McCormack, Hi, sir! Racine is a beaut. Zac and I want to go check it out in person before deciding ‘cos those photos are often very, very flattering. But yeah. I’m all about the honey stirrer and the red shoes, I think. I think? Love, me. ** Right. So, many years ago, the excellent artist and photographer and friend of DC’s TonioK made this post about the cartoonist Miguel Angel Martin. It died along with my former, murdered blog, and I think it deserves to be alive. So now it is. See you tomorrow.
