Show on the map
Under the nickname Al Weat 812 hides the occasional artist and leader of the family publishing house Kunkava. It produces picture books, comics and games in small editions, intended only for the immediate reading public and not for the book market.
The artist does not bind books for the sake of beauty in itself, does not adapt to the supply and demand for contemporary books, but works with them in their original mission as a means of communication and an influential medium. It comes from a real need to spontaneously create in one's own way, together with friends and children, and in the current invasion and mirage of beautiful dead books, it acts as a real oasis.
