I don’t know what happened, but I had a couple of days where I was totally inspired and just kept on drawing in my sketchbook!
It all started when I noticed that it was about time I’d draw some nudes again, to exercise my anatomic skills (which are lacking a bit as you can see).

on the 17th I’ve been presenting Giètz at a place called Vinile (vinyl) in Milan. I’s been a nice evening, in a bizzarre looking place, with a great jazz band (the No chaser trio) playing the songs from the book.

For this episode of Giètzcovers I’ve tried to remember how it was when I was drawing Giètz. What was I thinking about? And what music was I actually listening to? No, I wasn’t listening to jazz most of the time. Usually I would listen to some 80s post punk stuff, like Joy Division or the Cure. If I wanted something jazzier I would play Bohren and the Club of Gore or the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble.
So If I had to draw a version of Giètz that reflects what I was actually listening to in that time, it might look a bit more like this one: Nico the gravedigger who likes to play some good old Jazz while shooting some zombies… a mix between Dellamorte Dellamore and Young Man with a Horn.

I performed live at the first edition of fai la tua pArte, an event where different people from the local region, dealing with different arts, were invited to present their work to the public. It was mainly about creating a showcase for local talent, to gain exposure and forster networking. The nice thing was that I had to deal with a pretty heterogeneous public (which included children and people way over 60) but they all showed great interest in what I was doing. Well most of them at least, some parents came with their kids because they saw me with a pikachu in my hands, but then left rather quickly when I started making it sound like a demon pokemon from hell by glitching it out!
The video shows a couple of moments from the performance.

I dedicate this new Giètzcover to Moebius, the greatest comic artist ever. Who has been my primary source of inspiration for a really long time.
Arzach was the one comic that really made me want to get into the business.

Today is a sad, sad day
Jean Giraud, aka Moebius passed away.
may his afterlife be as weirdly wonderful as his drawing.
