Sixpack France presents the second part of their triptych line “Fragments of Yesterday,” with a Robert Crumb micro-collection. As an obvious progression from their recent collection, Sixpack wanted to make a tribute to the American counter culture and underline its influence on modern art – and who better represents that movement than cartoonist Robert Crumb?

Sixpack says they “have always been very inspired and impressed by his works, his avant-garde cartoons which were a hilarious satyre of American society, his anti corporate professionnal choices and his support to alternative independant medias like fanzines and underground comix.” The collaboration consists of three t-shirts each using vintage R. Crumb drawings from the 1970’s. Available now from Sixpack France.

Have a closer look at each piece from the Robert Crumb x Sixpack France Micro-Collection after the zap.

We can never get enough of Coffee Table books. Nothing beats an interesting oversized, well designed book. Unfortunately since Taschen is around, one could buy several a week, it’s hard to keep up.
The latest interesting release is “Sex Obsessions” by artist Robert Crumb. The artist is probably the worlds most famous underground cartoonist and has released impressive works over the years.
Now Crumb has selected his most intimately revealing comic strips and single page drawings to create a 258 page encyclopedic trip through his sexual psyche. All images were created between 1980 and 2006, and all strips are hand-colored for a lush vibrancy never seen in his comic books. In total the book features 14 complete stories, including My Troubles With Women, If I Were a King, A Bitchin’ Bod, and How To Have Fun With a Strong Girl, as well as 60 single page drawings.
This signed limited edition of 1,000 copies is a work of art in itself, with every part of the book—front and back covers, spine, and introductory pages—created for this project by Robert Crumb. Each book also comes with an art print selected by Mr. Crumb.
Taschen is increasing their prices on some of their limited edition releases, so if you got some spare money, you better get yourself a copy this week!
After the jump some more page spreads.

Robert Dennis Crumb is an American artist and illustrator recognized for the distinctive style of his drawings and his critical, satirical and subversive view of the American mainstream.

In 1968, R. Crumb self-published the first issue of Zap Comix and its success quickly established Crumb as the best-known artist of the underground comics movement.
Crumb’s artwork references details commonly found in early 20th-century cartoon styles. However, his stories are frequently satirical, sexual and politically outrageous.

In the pages of Zap, the East Village Other, OZ, Motor City, Yellow Dog and scores of other comics, Crumb created characters that soon became symbols of a subculture: Mr. Natural, Angelfood McSpade, Flakey Foont, and Crumb’s Fritz the Cat, have all become widely known cult icons. For over three decades, R. Crumb has shocke, entertained and challenged the imaginations (and the inhibitions) of comic fans all over the world.

Supreme produced a series of two t-shirts and a zip-up hoodie incorporating the artwork of R. Crumb. This series will be available mid-October at Supreme stores. 
Check out detailed pictures of the collaborative pieces after the jump.
