It’s that time of the year again when winter *** SALES *** pop up at the bastard store in Milano and in the online store (starting at midnight today, Milan time).
Sales start on Saturday, January 5, with 20% to 30% OFF on most bastard, Electric, Jart, Makia and Supremebeing products.
On Sunday, January 6 the Milan store is open with the following schedule 10:30 -13:00 and 15:30 – 20:00.
The bookshop of the bastard store is getting bigger. Among the new arrivals it’s worth recommending two titles.
Rock Candy is a collection of illustrations from one of the most interesting Pop Surrealism interpreters we have in Europe.
The superblonde Femke Hiemstra is indeed from Amsterdam, where she still lives and works. Her visionary works (twisted and a bit esoteric) picture surreal settings, mainly with animals, fruit, objects, flowers and antropomorphic distorted bugs handling opium pipes, kitchenware and other oddities.
The black and white collection of characters in Travis Louies‘s Curiosities is grotesque, fascinating and slightly surreal.
These works look like old pictures stolen from a 1900’s photo album or portraits of actors starring in old noir silent movies…nothing strange about that except for demon horns, ogre-like men, dozens-eyed men, while ladies expose sharp canines, tapered ears and charming spectral looks.
For the Cliché Résumé Show, that opens on Friday April 16 at 6:00PM, the bastard store will exceptionally open the whole space to the public.
Come to meet us and see where all of our products get life.
We’ll be open on Sunday April 18 and Monday 19 according to the following schedule:
10:30AM – 1:00PM / 3:30PM – 8:00PM.

A bunch of new and old interesting books has just arrived at the bastard store; among them Everything That Creeps.
Elizabeth McGrath, LA angel-faced artist, collects in this book some of her most creeping, bloody and repulsive creatures.
An irriverent sculptress who has created a fantafreaky world, populated by odd and freaky characters meant to be hung on your wall or to be displayed on your nightstand (she has her beloved dead and stuffed chihuahua on hers).
On the one shelf on which you put your childood relics, next to Goldrake, you could also put a McGrath’s sexy doll with bloody legs, or some drunk miniature insects or, if you really love animals, a chopped hare head.
The deep-dark iconography of Elizabeth shocks, amazes and amuses, her sculptures are full of truculent details and they evoke disturbing atmospheres “a la David Lynch” but thanks to the wise mixture of kitsch, irony and horror they come out excessive yet refined.
Here’s a video recently featured on Boing Boing tv in which David Pescovitz meets Liz McGrath.
Hmm… I would describe me as an artist who tries to inject human pathos into robots. Trying to breathe life into robots. That’s what I do. At least I try to. […]”
That’s what Eric Joyner thinks about himself. He is a californian artist, author and main character of “ROBOTS & DONUTS“, the last arrival at bastard’s Bookstore.
All the drawings inside this book portray improbable robotic scenarios: robots shooting laser beams against mega killer donuts, pirate robots, robots fighting on a ring, space candy but also romantic robots in bucolic contexts. An amazing visionary collection of pure surreal Pop Art…
The curious selection of more than 50 titles that you can find at the Bastard’s Bookstore, has nothing to do with classic fiction, we decided to give room to photography, design, graphics and illustration, music, street-art and obviously skateboarding.
