Have to take a break…

March 20th, 2010

Several problems force me to take a short break from the blog. This means there will be no posts for about a week.

Giètz! is best selling book!

March 15th, 2010

The book shop Irnerio in Bologna puts Giètz! in the first place for best selling books! Feels great!

Giètz! pictures

March 12th, 2010

It would be about time for me to write a report on how things went in Bologna. Unfortunately I only made a few lousy pictures, so I’m still trying to get some from other sources. In the meantime here’s a couple of pictures from the exhibition and one from the presentation.

Détective Noir et Crimespassionnels by Ryan Licata

crimes-passionelles_final

Her heavy goons in the alleyway had left him without a single slug, while she’d be packing that piece, neat and compact, under her skirt. Backstage, her name was emblazoned on a door under a paling gold star. Inside, she sat at her dressing table, looking at him through her mirror, mascara streaking to the corners of her mouth. She stood up, turned and slowly hoisted up her skirt, showing what she had every intention of using against him. “Shows over sweetheart,” he said, but as she entwined her feather bower around his neck, he found it all beginning again.

Notes:

usually I am really rational about my artistic decisions. This time I just followed an impulse. This is the result of it. Somehow it looks like it could have been taken out from a 70s comic mag, which I find somehow fitting… or don’t you?

A Hundred Word Stories #39

March 4th, 2010

(Senza titolo) by Cubber

tictac

O per esempio il tac tac del bastone di un cieco sul selciato. Tac
tac tac… non vedo il cieco perché è dietro di me, ma il tac tac
corre sul selciato, sale per un buco sotto le mie scarpe, tac tac tac,
come una febbre delle ossa, tac tac tac, un valzer di marionette; mi
sale lungo la nuca come per darmi la morte, tra i capelli come un filo
o un insetto urticante; mi ustiona mentre scende lungo la faccia, tac
tac tac, entra in bocca e apre nei denti una crepa che si fa sempre
più grande.

Notes

I never really worked on this story, though I had it laying around for some time, because I didn’t know how to draw it. The story is told from the inside out, it’s about things you feel, not things you see. So how to visualize this? In the end I decided to try to illustrate the events in the story how they might appear in the protagonist’s mind.
