Papernoise Sketchbook

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.

Visto che questa cosa delle copertine di Giétz mi sta pigliando bene, ecco la prossima in stile Roy Lichtenstein!

After seeing this great piece by David Rubin, I had an idea: what if I make several variations of the Gietz! cover? Just for fun… to see what come out.

Well, I just started to do it, this is the first one: with zombies of course!

Jazz dinner at the library il Pensatoio to promote Giètz!, which has just been reprinted

The main dish: cheese!

A view of the library, which by the way is a really beautiful one.

Incidentally, the same evening, there was a jazz concert dedicated to Chet Baker… and we didn’t even know about it until after the dinner.

At the fair, drawing stuff. Unfortunately this is the only picture we’ve taken there.
