Dear All,

As you know I am trying to keep SB an (almost) advertising-free publication,
but as the costs of the printing are very high, I still have to look for support and funding. So if you’re interested to run a little ad or to support Sang Bleu in any kind of ways, please drop a line:
info@sangbleu.com

An other way to support SB is also to pre-order it, which also ensures you to receive it straight from the printer (ie before the rest of the world) and with a pretty serious discount! For all details, please drop a line: info@sangbleu.com

Love

Maxime

it looks like SBIII/IV will be 500 pages, not 450!
hehe

Dear Readers,

I just wanted to keep you updated on the progression of SB III/IV.
Basically, it’s almost ready. Most of the series have been produced, most of the articles have been written. The work on the layout has just started.

In order to achieve with SB III/IV what I’ve always wished for and only approached with SB 0 and II, I decided to take a little bit more time and to not compromise on anything. Sang Bleu III/IV will contain 450 pages and will be the same size as SB II. The general structure will be much more integrative for the different components and the design will be pushed much further. Generally, unlike the previous issues, I made sure all the features fit better into the “SB” spirit. SB III/IV will have more text and more copies of it will be printed, which should ensure all the people who couldn’t get 0 and II to get this one.

SB III/IV will go to print in late September and will be available worldwide from November 2008.

I wish to kindly thank all the readers, supporters, contributors and friends who helped making Sang Bleu what it is. I love you. I owe you.
And thank you too to the haters, the retarded who tried to steal the name, the lawyers who tried to rip me off from money I don’t have and generally all the people who doubt me, it makes me work even harder to prove you wrong.

Yours truely.

Maxime

Following almost seamlessly from the last post, which is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time, here are a few square inches of the Jolie Rouge studio at 364 Caledonian Road, London N1. Home to Lord Montana-Blue and his fellow Gentlemen o’ Fortune. myspace.com/montanaxblue & jolierougetattoo.com

Just as life’s roller coaster drags me down, it must take me up and so after one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had for years, in Paris last week, along comes Masha (FM London) and all of a sudden the black cloud has gone. I’ve been saved. Business as unusual. A very nice shoot for Sang Bleu III&IV.

Don’t want to show too much of Jay Jay just yet but here’s part of this charming man. You can find all of him at Blood Brothers, 120 Holloway Road, London. myspace.com/zombiework. When he tells me who’s tattooed him I’ll let y’all know.

Back from Berlin with some photos to follow. Ready for the 05.15 train to Paris. Willing slave to Sang Bleu III&IV, that’s me.
