covers of the new world...












Mundo Nuevo (1966–1971, Spanish for "the New World") was an influential Spanish-language periodical founded in 1966 by Emir Rodríguez Monegal in Paris, France, and distributed worldwide. It was a monthly revista de cultura (literary magazine) dedicated to new Latin American literature that  published articles and interviews, prose, poetry, and essays, but also excerpts of unreleased texts.

The illustrative magazine stopped in 1971 after 58 issues.

Mundo Nuevo prepublished then-new writers, such as Mario Vargas Llosa or chapters of Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, and younger writers, such as Guillermo Cabrera Infante or Severo Sarduy. It contributed to the 1960s publishing phenomenon dubbed "The Boom" in Latin American literature.

fiorucci e favoloso!








Fiorucci was born in Zara, Italy, in 1932. As Zara was under threat to be captured by Yugoslavia in World War Two when Zara, Fiorucci and his family fled to Venice, Italy, where he spent most of his childhood before landing on the shores of Canada in 1951. By 1960, he was an established artist and by 1980 was one of the most renowned poster designers in the world. Fiorucci was a man of achievement - awarded a Moebius Award at the 1998 International Advertising Awards of Chicago, and lifetime achievement awards from the Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators and the Institute of Design Montréal. 
He used an array of mediums: he did illustration works for magazines (incl. Time), children's books, animation, and was an established photographer. His work was used to promote many of the films that marked the beginning of independent Québecois cinema.

I love his use of bold blocks of colour and involving simplicity...

legofesto!






"Legofesto is a politics-junkie and news-hound, with a obsession for lego and other construction toys....She is very, very pissed off about how this War on Terror is being prosecuted by US/UK, led by the deluded fundamentalists George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and George's ever faithful lapdog, Tony Blair and the cabal of supine stuffed shirts he calls a Cabinet, with their dearth of humanity and love of war. Real events in the world are recreated in lego...."
