A good initiative that organized by Claudio Stassi
, I involuntarily participated in a good Sardinian head down and out of lineup , with my usual impetuosity controversial.
I went to this meeting full of doubts, I sat and listened, I state that I arrived after the intervention of Luca Enoch.
look, feel many, many, too many interventions that are evidence of their individual professional experience, listening to various problems in the provision of his work in the library to do that favoritism toward certain outputs from those published and Mega Preview.
them that I'm shivering and I wonder if the whole meeting was based on some pretty personal questions, which can not be the cause of the problems of the comic.
but I wonder when you talk about the transparency of sales data? When it comes the problem of distribution in Italy? When you raise the issue of contracts?
look for hope and I sipped promoting Pic Nic, of which I care little for charity initiative interesting, but I lose time to my work not really to know you can do Free Press, is not the solution to the problems, if anything, an interesting initiative.
take advantage of the intervention of a representative dell'Afui touching the sore point of distribution, in the midst of discussions on many flights of fancy and I thought it was a moral beacon in the night, I am convinced that unless we solve the major problems is useless to discuss where to place my comics, without taking anything away that might be a problem too.
I put the question of sales data, and Claudio spoke on the lack of circulation numbers Italians in the contracts, it seems a matter of little importance but because of the tendency to work with a percentage of sales at this point should be more transparency in order to understand if you agree or not to participate in this type of publications.
The argument is interrupted by Angelo Nancetti (if I remember correctly) that discusses the fact that authors like Sergio Toppi started without contracts and are now at the bottom of the masters of everything from pointing out that it is not just a problem of publishers, in that I thought that the whole matter was inconclusive, I left angry and annoyed to find that I had attended a meeting too superficial and did not address the real problems, but an easy indifference. In fact I
lost all the first part, covering the video I have changed his mind, Claudio opened the meeting by setting points of interest, the following is discussed the authorship of the right of writers and artists, talk about contracts and so on.
The first part of the Round Table is the kind of professionalism that I try and that is rarely found in comics, but what I noticed is the lack of debate.
This is a first step and I expect that the next meeting will be dialogues and less from the pulpit most of the room, I would like the presence of publishers, distributors and trade unions, because let's be honest without all the parts we can make it in comics stencils and distribute home home.
As I mentioned Emanuela Lupacchini covertly on his blog by way of teasing, I resume the conversation I had with her on FB which covered a part of his thoughts on the Italian comic and partly because of what I saw on the video.
I have no prejudice on Emanuela, although she thinks otherwise, but I understand in this environment can be expected of all.
Her negative experience is what we have all experienced a little in this business and not just in ours. Emily has experienced the frustration of not making comics, live with 3 euro in the account and so on, in short speeches that many are familiar with.
I am anything but well off so I'm not easily surprised. What
I was upset and hear from a former researcher that if they had said before that it was hard to live in the bubble would not have done it because he has touched the strings, unfortunately the most out of tune, I have always been advised to let it go, I'll be stupid but I went knowing that I would be at risk alms.
Robe by designers (at least the cartoonists feel at home on facebook)
What is right is not easy to do anything and everything, generalizing does not help and the intervention does not seem all that of a professional but to a newcomer a little naive This attitude creates problems and a move away from false solutions.
In Italy there is a problem deregulation, the comic is only one small part, everything he says is true and Emanuela add that there will always will be unfair and people correct people regardless of contracts and rules.
often ask me why I enter these discussions, and because of my respect for those who are determined to reach a goal.
This is the reason why we do not mounting.
during which I would like to have a designer Michele Bergamo, you have seen over the cartoons of the Master
Yambu knows that his plan will have difficulty being published, the humor has no place in Italy, continues to draw Despite this, do another job in this period of crisis is always at risk at the same time pay and attend my course, but if you take some of the publishers do not publish humor, but is thinking of a solution to find an outlet, perhaps print a story without receiving any compensation, even to begin to make known his work, what I see when you do not think comics is that because the contracts or pay, has only one light in the eyes of those who love this language, all the rest will come later, when it will be a professional (I hope so and we account for him).
I am convinced that there must be more certain of the rules in the comic but serious professionals, trained and are able to What is the profession regarded as otherwise we will all be a little naive.
Emanuela hate me for sure, we have discussed on FB but then I find myself on his blog and even mocked ...
GOOD AMBU
