2012-02-09T03:23:00.000-08:00

I was browsing trough some vintage marvel comics, which I find amazing, in the old ones also the texts are unbelievable ...
I remembered i also met Spider Man once, I don't know if he's intrest in Köln Dom was purely touristical or professional.

sometimes some projects are scary, and anyway I have the tendency to trow myself in things that at the beginning don't know
what are they gonna become ... but then the work starts and the best is when you start to "think" in objects, all around you is
just a big sketchbook.

Had a walk yesterday in this real winter set design...

2012-01-24T23:42:00.000-08:00

I found this small treasure in an second-hand book shop in my hometown, beautiful format, layout and above all the pictures are
just great with the 70's print colors...it has also a list of all the big planetariums in the world and since I been here , I'm thinking
to follow them in my travels.

2012-01-18T23:57:00.000-08:00

I'm very good in finding other things to do, but not the one I'm supposed to...this is one of them, a decently noisy toy for a new
born...I consider it a nice brake.

work of the participants...I'm especially happy that the magazine featured also my embroidery work.

2011-12-25T06:26:00.000-08:00

Started the day with the Muppet Christmas Carol, Rizzo and Gonzo are the best, and yesterday a wonderful tale about Walter
the only reading rat, beautifully read for us on Bayern 2 Christmas program ( I find that this is the greatest luxury, that some-
one is reading for us story's, theater and novels...yuhuuu to that!!!). I'm grateful to share this happy and spiritual moments in
our micro family.

I know this guys from the zoological museum since 10 years, so we are a bit more than simple acquaintances...some of them lost
one eye, some furs, colored feathers, or the skin parts got dry and flat...but this only makes me like them even more, with the
age they also get lot's of personality and the tendency for funny behavior.

this are some of my favorites

1.the orchestra conductor (because of his long eyebrows I guess...and tuxedo)

2.the monkey guys, really delicate hands and small furs.

3.this bird group, who look like they just got caught listening at doors.

4.The curious black goat and dirty duck, the shapeless wild pig and the exhibitionist bat

First it was seed,now I know is red, I was waiting since some days to see her color...

2011-08-03T12:04:00.000-07:00

I just needed to do something, so I made a "tocanitza" with sheep sausages, cow consomme and Nela plum cake. All this time I
thought about her, how natural we started to speak, to tell each other things, her funny great simple life stories, her door
always open and this great host quality, never the feeling that you are a bother, always finding something to put on the table,
with no reserves, all around table. Than the men came and we had dinner and I started to think about him, how arrogant, always
having a better story then yours, charming, one of this few people who have a real smile, that kind that you instinctively return
instantly, you could really laugh with this guy till you burst tears,but I guess she was right, he was all about life.

2011-07-27T07:22:00.000-07:00

made a work visit a wile ago to a place witch had no time, the light, the dust,the air was completely still...thought in the night
train about the importance of time movement, the passing trough gives value to what we are or do, to our encounters,to our
banalities, immortality would probably flatten all our feelings down...

lonely girl 4

last night I've seen the second time this documentary and it gave such a good feeling, especially now when I find it hard to motivate
my work. To see all this lonely girls and boys, so young and each one with there reasons to keep dancing made me very emotional.

2011-06-20T02:08:00.000-07:00

Somehow we all start to find our place in the new home

2011-06-17T06:10:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I finally made some order in my work, so I also scan some old projects, trough them it was this and it made me wanna
make more painted illustration...starting from today!!!

2011-06-16T02:09:00.000-07:00

Last night, though I was so impatient,made think about this work.

2011-06-14T22:59:00.000-07:00

I'm not depending on other people's opinion of my work, still think that I'm scrupulously self reflected, only two people advice maters
and that's because there taste is flawless...I'm absolutely proud that prints of my boxers are in this studio, my second home exhibition.

2011-06-14T00:10:00.000-07:00

Wished so much to be on this mountain that I love again, I felt it as a wonderful birthday gift to share with the men side of my family.
i don't think I could describe my feelings on mountains, it's to intense and contemplative, but this time I played this in my mind...
feel that it says a lot.

So about the book fair in Bologna this year...

Wonderful things : meeting Katsumi Komagata, the winner book at fiction category, strong and bold, interesting discussion between
Jutta Bauer and Nikolaus Heidelbach , the Lithuanian soviet illustration exhibition,being part of the beautiful exhibition, Bologna in flower,
white wine, terazzo in allpossible combination,discovering some new small silent stone squares.
Things who are not pleasant, but make you think : this carnivorous publishing industry and the invasion of cuteness in it.

2011-04-04T00:16:00.000-07:00

Where I met my the boxers last week in Bologna Children Book Fair,felt good when they popped up in front of my eyes at the entrance
of the illustrators exhibition. And I have to say I love how the annual is printed. More about the fair in the next post.
