Illustration: Edouard Baribeaud's epic new Nieves zine is a triumph

When a book is described as “The enchainment of science fiction, supernatural effects, magical oriental rituals and mythological figures” and “somewhere between 19th century book illustration and persian miniatures, seen through the eyes of a contemporary,” you can almost guarantee it’s going to be an absolute banger. In this new Nieves publication by Edouard Baribeaud, whose sketchbooks we featured on the site a few weeks back, we travel to distant lands where the smokey mountains are made of speckles and the wild, natural environment is formed of a two colour risograph. What a dream. One for the Christmas list.
