PrintAustin Expo is to held outdoors at Canopy – an East Austin creative space (916 Springdale Rd, Austin, TX 78702) that is home to Big Medium, Art.Science.Gallery., and Modern Rocks Gallery.
You can now buy a screen print featuring an illustration from The Book of Cannibals, by Norberto Gomez, Jr. Each print is hand printed, 11 x 15 inches, on paper, signed by both the artist and printer. Each illustration is a limited edition of 10.
We also now have a handful of ART = DEATH tee shirts inspired by the drawing of the same name.
We are excited to announce our participation in this year's Baltimore DIY Fest on Oct. 17th. For the first time we will have screen prints of all the illustrations from the Book of Cannibals for sale (limited runs of an edition of 10 per each illustration). We will also have special zine packs and deals on the 2nd Edition of The Book of Cannibals. Jill is also going to conduct a Japanese Stab Binding demo, and we'll be hanging out with our friends Temple Textiles of Baltimore, and Surface Handmade of Richmond, VA.
“In the transgressive tradition of Georges Bataille (and Lev Shestov, Michael Taussig, André Breton, André Masson, Pierre Klossowski, Roger Caillois, Jules Monnerot, Jean Rollin, Jean Wahl) and drawing on Bataille’s fascination with human sacrifice and his founding of Acéphale, a secret society symbolized by a headless man, The Book of Cannibals ... offers us a smorgasbord of surreal mediations on pizza, Hell, solipsism, drones, hipsters, and (the ever-faithful) Death.”

“...it screams at you from every page of this little hand Printed book by Sybil Press. References to Heraclitus, Nietzsche, Socrates and Lucifer prettily drip from the pages. Each line evokes his philosophy that human myths, characters, archetypes, heroes and villains are all “Cannibals” that must defend their kingdom from those who would deny cannibalism...It is a perfect evening read for all of you Music lovers, Film Buffs, musicians, composers, Occultists and Artists from all branches, but I suspect you will hate and then love this book half a dozen times before you reach the end.”

Hello, the second pressing of #TheBookOfCannibals is near completion. We are currently looking for ways to spread the word of this little black book:
1) Are you part of a blog, literary, or book arts org that would like to review the BoC?
2) Are you just an interested individual who would like to review for your blog or other site?
3) We have free zines we'd like to leave at spaces featuring excerpts and illustrations from the BoC. Would you like some?
4) We are looking for spaces that would like to carry / consign copies of the BoC. Are you one of these holes in the wall?
email us: sybil@sybilpress.org
A portion of sales from the BoC will once again be donated to animal welfare and rights organizations to be announced.
