Today is Tomorrow's Yesterday is here!

My first book, Today is Tomorrow's Yesterday is finally at the studio, it’s been a long journey since I started the crowdfunding campaign with Slanted Publishers. Where this project was just an idea.

Thanks to all the backers who supported the project, the book became a reality and I cannot be more excited to have this book in my hands now.
In case you don’t know anything about the project, this book is a selection of pages from my sketchbooks and diaries. Loyal friends who’ve been with me in every trip and different moments of my life. Find more information here

If you’re interested in the book and you couldn't catch it during the crowdfunding campaign it is also available at my online store now

Pottery

I’ve been working on these new ceramics, where I wanted the shapes to be irregular, like my drawings.
It’s the first time I put text on them too. Thank you to Bas Barcelona for the help, they are all available at Limited Editions

Risograph Editions

I made these editions of Riso prints based on paintings and screen prints I did in the past: Bodegón con Langosta and Sunday Morning
It’s the first time I do risograph prints, I’m very excited for the colors and outcome, I can’t wait to make some new designs playing with the transparency effects.
Thanks to Drucken3000 studio in Berlin for making them with love. You can find them here

Keep it Casual

Filmmaker and photographer Mike Chaney from Wappato is making a great magazine showcasing different artists in Barcelona: Casual Magazine.
He came to the studio while I was working on the Magic Siesta installation, here you can see some of the photos from that day and a cool video.
He’s crowdfunding the project, you can support the magazine and show some love here

Today is Tomorrow's Yesterday

Super anxious to announce my first book ever:  Today is Tomorrow’s Yesterday. 

A collection of selected pages from my personal diaries/sketchbooks.

This project that has been in my mind for years and today is finally seeing the light thanks to the mentoring program launched by Slanted Publishers in association with Kickstarter.

Available here: https://www.iamrubensanchez.com/shop/today-is-tomorrows-yesterday

It is a crowdfunding thing so that means the book will not be produced until we reach the goal (fingers crossed) so we’re calculating around August-September for it to be done and shipped to the backers in case we make it. 

Catch the early bird offers while they last and find many other ways to support this project if you like it. Muchas gracias!
