A very nice, cartoony campaign for Schwarzkopf Anti-dandruff shampoo, by DDB Düsseldorf (copy by Jan Propach and illustrations by Marc Herold). I like the fact that it not only uses ar fairly cartoony style, but also tells an actual story. These drawings wouldn’t be out of place in an alternative anthology.

The Serieskolan in Malmö (Sweden) is the Swedish version of the Center for Cartoon Studies in the US. It’s a place where young hopefuls can learn the art and business of cartooning and creating comics in general.
This brochure for the school was created by Jamil Mani (of the C’est Bon Kultur collective, story) and Niklas Asker (art), and was sent to me by Lotta, who picked it up at the Stockholm SPX last month (thanks !).
I don’t read Swedish, so I don’t have any more than a very faint clue of what is said in this comic. What struck me, though, is that there seems to be an emerging, international style for the alternative, small-press comic that is immediately recognisable, and quite similar across the globe. Nice logo too (by Peter Hallin).
M&L used to be the bimonthly magazine if the Flemish official agency for “Monuments and landscapes” (now the agency for the protection of our immobile heritage). For a government publication, it was a quite glossy production, with lots of top-rate photography and every so often a beautiful cover illustration by an important Flemish illustrator.
