Bye Alvin.
14 February 2016
Alvin Buenaventura was one of the most exciting publishers in the very field we like to dig in.
He leaves plenty of people with an infinite sadness but also a whole, full range of incredible books, could it be through the various and great ones he published within his Buenaventura Press inprint, or through his new printing adventure, Pigeon Press.
He patiently shared with us the artwork of such talents as Gary Panter, Daniel Clowes, Julie Doucet, Chris Ware, Matt Furie, Johnny Ryan, Phil Elverum, Vanessa Davis, Paul Hornschemeier, Anders Nilsen, Lisa Hanawalt, Adrian Tomine, Helge Reumann & Xavier Robel, Tom Gauld, Ron Rege Jr and so on, and of course the production of such unforgettable books as (amongst others !) the #7 of Sammy Harkham’s Kramer’s Ergot anthology back in the days, or the very very last Daniel Clowes or Charles Burns productions… Just a few examples…
At ChiFouMi, there’s plenty, plenty of the people we worked/work with told us how great he was as a publisher, as an influence. And for the very few times we shared with him, he left us with the impression that he was just an extra nice guy, too.
Thanks for the books, thanks for the art, thanks for all, Alvin.
We’ll miss you.

Some news from The Faceless Goat.
5 February 2016
Two weeks ago, we had the chance to get both creators Anders Nilsen and Marc Bell at the opening of our new exhibition in Besançon, “The Faceless Goat”.
In two different places, this art show is all about what was last summer’s residency that ChiFouMi organised with the precious help from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. And because this Pierre Feuille Ciseaux residency is about creation, we did our best ot show many of the various things hanging on the wall.
Hope you’ll like it !
