Estuvo estudiando durante un breve período de tiempo en la Central School of Art de Londres y después con mucho éxito en la Cedric Morris's East Anglian School de Pintura y dibujo en Dedham. Se alistó como marino mercante en un convoy del Atlántico Norte en 1941 antes de serle invalidado su servicio en 1942. En su primera exhibición individual, en la Lefevre Gallery de 1944, se expuso su celebrado cuadro "El Cuarto del Pintor". Para el verano de 1946, viajó a Paris antes de continuar a Italia por varios meses. Desde entonces vive y trabaja en Londres.
EL MANUAL DE MI MENTE
El manual de mi mente, de Paco Alcázar
Leí este comic hace tiempo , como buen amante del humor negro, surrealista, gamberro y psicotrónico, la salida de este tomo me ha devuelto la sonrisa y la confianza en un país absorbido por el humor chusco de las series de televisión. El manual de mi mente recopila las historietas que Paco Alcázar ha ido publicando durante una década en diversas publicaciones.
Alcázar, nacido en Cádiz en 1970, es conocido hoy por su personaje Silvio JoséEl Jueves), por sus ilustraciones para El País Semanal y por su peculiar proyecto musical Humbert Humbert. Sin embargo, antes de eso había llenado las páginas de fanzines y revistas con un sentido del humor y del grafismo próximo a otros autores como Charles Burns, Johnny Ryan y, especialmente, Daniel Clowes. (publicado en la revista
El tomo se abre con un ingenioso prólogo en el que el propio autor acude a una oficina de objetos perdidos para reclamar la carpeta donde llevaba todos los originales que componen la obra. La mujer que le atiende, ante las insistencias del autor, le dice abiertamente: “Nuestra tarea no es encontrar los objetos, sino averiguar si esos objetos merecen la pena ser encontrados”. En este caso, no hay lugar a dudas.
La recopilación está dividida en tres partes. En primer lugar, una serie de tiras bajo el nombre de Todo está perdido que fueron publicadas hace unos años por Ediciones Dobledosis. En ellas nos encontramos con la familia Pérez y una serie de secundarios, a cual más extravagante: Héctor, el niño introvertido de cabeza deforme que colecciona tebeos e incluso les pide consejo; Ana y Juan, una pareja que misteriosamente empieza a transformarse en sus vecinos; y el perro que tiene adherida una vagina parlante y bastante malhumorada.
FREE COMIC BOOKS
La verdad es que servidor no acaba de acostumbrarse a eso de leer los tebeos en la pantalla del ordenador. Donde esté un buen cómic en papel, que se quite todo lo demás. Pero a veces webs como la que toca hoy vienen bien para conseguir rarezas o comics que tenemos ganas de leer y nos son inaccesibles de otra forma.

LA MESA DE BILLAR SOÑADA...
Aunque no se si la concentración en el juego sería la misma, de mano de Obscura Digital, el sistema utiliza una serie de sensores distribuidos en la mesa y un proyector cenital que sigue los movimientos de las bolas. Éstas pueden dejar un rastro de fuego, fluir en el agua o descubrir una imagen a su paso

30 ANUNCIOS IMPRESOS SENSACIONALES
Every day, we’re bombarded by thousands of adverts, most of which are boring, thoroughly irritating or both. Every now and again, however, an advert comes along that’s so powerful, due to the originality of its content or the way that it conveys its message, that it inspires us to change our behaviour: it might make us find out some more information about a product, donate money to charity or even cut down on drinking alcohol!
With in excess of $385 billion spent annually on ads, it’s unsurprising that admen give life to veritable masterpieces of visual communication from time to time. These truly brilliant ads can be found on TV, on the internet and on billboards too. But the most engaging ads of all appear in traditional print media, as people reading newspapers and magazines have time to absorb lots of information as well as creative subtleties.
Below, you’ll find 30 examples representing the crème de la crème of recent print advertisements.
Major Brands
Since the dawn of mass production, in the early 19th century, major brands have used advertising to promote their goods and services. The amount of money spent on advertising worldwide grows considerably year on year. By 2010, it’s predicted that investment in advertising will top $450 billion annually.

Charity Campaigns
There was a time when charities relied solely on shock tactics to raise money. Most charity ads seemed to feature a starving child or otherwise ailing individual. These ads worked for a time, but people started to find them so upsetting that they simply switched off to the ad altogether. Things have changed. Charities now recognise that, like major brands, they can inspire their audience most successfully by taking an original and creative approach.

TV Channels
For obvious reasons, TV channels tend to advertise on TV, but when they do opt for print media ads instead, the results can be rather stunning. The BBC have run many inspirational televised advertising campaigns in the past, but none of them have connected with viewers in such a subtle way as the World News ads below. These ads were designed for commuters, who have plenty of time, en route to and from work, to absorb the hidden images.

Pharmaceuticals
In the immortal words of Peter Parker: “With great power comes great responsibility”. Pharmaceutical companies often walk a fine line when it comes to the morality of their ads and must ensure that they don’t prey on the “weak” or the desperate. The ads below use comedic rather than shock tactics to pedal their wares.
