markel ormazabal

Ormazabal was one of the young people they took away from Esperantza pilota court in February, 2007. And, saying that many of the social projects they were involved in had to be political, they locked them up in a hole for six years. And it was there, shut in a hole, that he wrote this fine book, which looks at the future with optimism, starting with the title (‘here i am, but not to stay’). This book could be grouped along with other prison or metaprison books: as well as reflections and accusation, there’s humour and poetry. And music. Everything in the book comes with its own soundtrack. Iratxe Retolaza’s epilogue is worth reading too.

the tattoo coloring book

The first step in doing tattoos is the black lines which define each drawing. The shadows and volumes are added and, finally, colours. Which is just what this book brings you. It offers you the draughtsman’s foundation so that you can colour it in as you wish. If you want to give your children a craft with a future, put aside those cute notebook games and give them dragons, skulls, tigers and knives.

On the cover of this book of memories, which Marisol Bastida wrote over years, Zumeta explains the book’s dual nature: On the one hand, Laboa the famous singer. On the other, Laboa the husband, friend and father. Over the 400 pages Laboa the well-known figure becomes Laboa the person. The past few decades, the last 50 years, because many and diverse cultural movers gravitated around Mikel Laboa. The book also brings Marisol Bastida into the light for us and we realise how important many people who are usually overlooked actually are.

Paperpapers collection is in praise of paper. Our aim is to show the work of people are not satisfied by just writing, drawing or publishing photographs and who want to write on the paper itself, using paper as its raw material. All of those things come together in this wonderful book-box wrapped in beautiful blue paper. Inside the box, on loose sheets, the pictures give us numerous options: making picture puzzles, the chance to write visual poems, to play with the words which the drawings bring to mind. ‘Maite
dut’ is the treasure which houses the treasure map.
