Soda, candy, condoms … and mini-comics

Mini-comic Vending Machine

Bugpowder has a post up about a mini-comics vending machine at the Travelling Man comic store in Manchester, England, which spits out copies of Ja Ljubav Te by Stuart Kolakovic for a quid.

    Stuart did a fantastic comic last year called A PRINCE SUCH AS I. It came in a lovely record-style sleeve, and was beautifully stitched and printed on lovely cardy papery stock.

    Some lovely art in there (to which this photo hardly does justice). Here’s what I wrote last year:

    “Kolakovic’s surreal, bittersweet comics short is presented in a record sleeve-themed slipcover, and gently rests upon the life of a disabled Elvis fan as he listens to his favourite record.

    Kolakovic is depressingly young to be so talented. He’s an artist of the Dave McKean/Jason Alexander school - all expressive lines and etched features - but he’s far too good to be labelled a clone. And best of all, he’s got time on his side.

    Stuart Kolakovic is a name to remember. “

    And it am true.

    This minicomics vending machine is a lot like the Art-O-Mat project here in Winston-Salem, NC which takes old cigarette machines and turns them into art vending machines. They just celebrated the 10th anniversary of the project and there’re machines all over the world:
