Jules Julien Un pistolet écureuil. Une chevelure arachnéenne entourant un visage aux proportions cubistes. Qu'il soit subtil ou grotesque, le décalage qu'opère le travail de Jules Julien questionne la réalité du monde qui l'entoure, faisant ainsi basculer la notion de vérité du général au particulier. Détournant et associant figures et objet familiers, il met en scène un univers où le symbole se marie à l'anecdote et où l'étrange se camouffle derrière une palette de couleurs exagérément chatoyante. Car il faut bien reconnaître que l'apparence lisse de ses images, méticuleusement dessinées et vectorisées, renferme des strates bien plus complexes. Un monde souterrain où les super héros s'appelleraient Eros et Thanatos et où les tensions donneraient naissances à des chimères aussi séduisantes que vénéneuses. Jules Julien's "Animaux Revolver" appear on the cover of Caketrain Issue 05. |
Caketrain is a literary journal and press based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our interest is in bringing you, reader, the very best in contemporary creative writing, full stop. Our goals are for each issue of our journal to submerge you in a birthing tank for gelatinous language monsters, young masses of tentacular foci undulating as directed (in all, at once) by our eclectic stable of contributors; for each new book to seduce and ensnare you, sometimes intangibly, always undeniably; and for you, reader, to be able to draw at least one passage from our banks that prods your mind with a precision and power that feels as if it was written for your eyes alone. To wit and to whet, here is a snippet, a slight nip of our delicious lit mix: New and Upcoming afterpastures, by Claire Hero Caketrain Issue 05 Loving 5_Trope, AGNI, Barrow Street, Believer, Black Warrior, Born, Bound Off, Caffeine Destiny, Canarium, Conjunctions, Controlled Burn, Diagram, Double Room, Drunken Boat, Elimae, FC2, Finishing Line, Fishouse, Flood, Found, Fringe, Frostproof, Future Tense, Ghoti, Harpur Palate, Hobart, Jubilat, Mad Hatters’, Many Mountains Moving, Mid-American, NewPages, New Yinzer, New York Tyrant, Nidus, Nightboat, Noon, Obscure, Parsifal, Pebble Lake, PENNsound, Pudding House, Quick Fiction, Rattapallax, Redactions, Salt, SleepingFish, Spinning Jenny, Starcherone, Steel City Review, Titular, Ubu, Unicorn Mountain, Unsaid, Web del Sol Mourning 3rd Bed, Alterran, Deek, Melic, Press 62
