Track And Field Triple Jumping Quotes

Italy goodbye. Dear


more I read some comments on the Web and more I realize that for this Italy there is no hope.

In a cultural and political conditions, such as the one we are living, those who voted the dwarf should have been more angry than me.
But with a big cheer from the stadium and against all logic of civil and social interest grow back supporters.

Try as I might I have no tolerance for these things which I believe is unnecessary for a civilized country.
may be right that a friend of mine says he hopes in a dictatorship, just to understand quest'italietta made of mediocrity which means depending on a power-hungry dude.

Patire poverty, ignorance, degradation, filth and being happy is not acceptable even for a hamster.

And now back to work, good in Italy at all.


Ps. Intelligent people must begin to be felt otherwise there is no escape.

Sore Throat, Swollen Tounge

cartoonists talking about art, not art. After Lucca Comics




E 'for some time that I find myself neglecting the blog, but you know it goes on more and more leisure time is reduced. Since
Facebook allows me to critique the politics and Italian life, giving life to my dog \u200b\u200bcrazy outbursts, I decided to use the blog as a space to exhibit my work and express some thoughts.
In my previous post I expressed doubts on the encounter between the authors held in Lucca and was accused of spitting venom on the next, are judged more the ways that the contents in the beautiful Italy (I am sorry that share his ideas is always counterproductive).
Today I reflect, as some comments to that post, on the preparation of professionals in my workplace.
I remember my first public meeting, held in Bologna for insomnia, a person turned to Joseph Di Bernardo (series creator) defining the artistic design, Joseph then intervened and said that the cartoonists are artists not artisans.

course polemichino inherent in my nature, I had to intervene to point out that comics could be art too.
At that moment I was aware of what art was, as it does not fall from a pear tree and visas the background is, but I was not aware of what was the world of comics, Joseph was definitely more prepared than me.

When Di Bernardo called the balloon craft I had a start, I was reminded of when I was being accused of childishness because of age I was reading Spider-Man or Dylan Dog, then the reaction was a resounding 'comics crafts. .. ever. "
but forgot the context in which that exchange of words took place, that is a comic fair.

Five years later I find myself having to define comics as a product of craft, not because they do not consider it a language that can create art, but because its professionals are unaware completely what is art.
Surely it is ignorance, or perhaps a shortcoming that should be immediately filled with some text, easily available, sorry for you who do not know but Art is subjective.

If everything is art, nothing is ART.

go well the various blogs and sites that anticipate or delay their name with Art is a trendy and fashionable look entirely legitimate part of a promotion policy, but borders on the ridiculous call themselves artists because the artist is a period in which the majority of society establishes a cultural value to an author, and not to be underestimated.

Words are important!

A work to be considered art must have a value given by the community and not by a small number of individuals, so dear to us "artists" will relax you even eat bread.

I often wonder how can a comic artist is not interested in art, it is as if a writer did not read books.
I speak not only of classical art, one must go beyond Michelangelo, Raphael, Munch, Mucha, Klimt and Schiele, I speak of Anselm Kiefer, Boltanski or all of the German movement.
How can a comic refrain from making a trip to the Venice Biennale, or from visiting a modern art museum at least once a month.
How can we hope to make art without knowing the other visual languages, cinema, theater, photography, do not say to be a living encyclopedia, but at least spend a little space to the world outside of comics.

Having established that we are not artists, or at least not all that many, we can at least define skilled craftsmen?
We are professionals?

See you at the next episode!

Hiv Rash When Does It Occur




BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA, this is what I can criticize the Lucca Comics and Games as a more or less in the editions earlier.

I'll be back with the usual influence and that is why I write now.

My Lucca was in fact the Artists Alley, lived in the company of Marco Santucci and Alessandro Bocci with which we started this initiative.
I am excited about this experience, I had no idea of \u200b\u200bthe feedback that I got at the bottom of my most important work is the book The House Of Faust Dampyr, but know that someone remembers my name associated with the title of the register is an indescribable feeling, like hearing an avid reader Dampyr softly whispers to me that "you are among my favorite designers is something that certainly repays the job done with passion. If I had

Artists Alley summarized the experience with a word I would say comparison.
Comparison with readers, who have shown in reading the comics the same passion that we put in the drawing. The comparison between us
authors, the positive exchange that takes you to overcome when an extraordinary talent as Alessandro Bocci says "prepared you steal something" to understand that the real talents are the ones who are always ready to challenge them anyway I'm sure she was lying out of kindness and that I'll steal a lot more of him. Marco Santucci
now call it the machine, without him there would have been Artists Alley has an innate ability to organize and seriousness enviable professional.
So now we started and we will not stop so easily.


Bocci and I look forward to the photos in which we are all together including Santucci pious soul who had it, unfortunately I did not do pictures.

NOW ...
... ROUNDTABLE

To see the video of the meeting click HERE

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
