Legend of the graphzine and the graphzone, Y5/P5 draws zombies, skeletons, ghost trains, nightmare memories, rubber spiders in the subways at night. This 208-page book gathers his famous drawings on coasters, which he often made for a beer or a few cigarettes.
Considered as one of the great underground and "
outsider"
drawing artists, a major figure of the punk and anarchist graphzine scene, Y5/P5 (Frédéric Renault, born 1961) collaborated with the
Bazooka collective but never belonged to any group. He produced himself many graphzines (
Press-Book,
Jim Bones), participated in many others (
Au Sec',
Chacal Puant,
Hopital Brut,
Crimsex,
Peltex, etc.)and even had the honor of the cover in the US magazine
Raw Vision. He also produced many illustrations on coasters, much sought-after by fans of counter-culture drawings but difficult to find.
