The belly is growing fast and sometime i think there is a party inside, i can feel my baby dancing or something like that, everytime is a strong emotion. So here i am with some updates, a new blog design and yessss….a new official shop on bigcartel, a fresh selection of my original artworks and funny-recycled accessories, i hope you will like it :)  I’m also going slightly mad tryng to finish the main website…and so sorry my english is still at a ‘bleah’ level! I leave you with the trailer of a wonderful masterpiece by JAN SVĚRÁK:

Kuky se vrací

is a combined puppet and live action feature based on a 
child’s fantasy. A seven year old boy whose teddy bear Kooky has been
thrown away wonders what his toy is up to in the big world out there, imagining 
Kooky as he tries to find his way back home.

Chiba, Pupe, 2009 mixed media on bristol paper

La larva (termine che in latino significa maschera) è un embrione animale che conduce vita libera e che diventerà adulto attraverso una o più metamorfosi che possono essere drastiche o graduali.

La larva ha spesso sembianze completamente differenti dall’individuo adulto e può passare attraverso vari stadi di trasformazione.

MANPOWER
Out of Many
We are MORE than One

Da un freddume soleggiato e dallo sbiadire dei giorni di un anno bisesto ecco qualche piccolo aggiornamento…

…il primo riguarda le illustrazioni fatte per Merula Magazzini Musicali, ogni anno realizzano un calendario e ne affidano l’illustrazione ad un artista diverso, le opere poi vanno a far parte della collezione permanente della Merula Art Gallery…qui sotto ecco una delle tele per il calendario 2009, le altre tele le potete vedere qui >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/ventisette

il secondo aggiornamento riguarda due grandi tele fatte per il MANPOWER group show organizzato dal collettivo cosmicmegabrain…musica, arti visive, performance, si tratta di due eventi fra Lisbona e Londra che coinvolgono diversi artisti internazionali, tutte le info le trovate qui cosmicmegabrain…mentre le tele le trovate qui sotto:

Fra qui e altrove, è tutto uno scatolare… nel mentre scivolo nella microcucina dei Gastronauti in quel del FREeSHOUT!? (Prato: Ex_Macelli e satelliti 30 settembre - 5 ottobre 2008)…

…packing life and others ulesess thinghs.

Dai tetti di via Taranto si vedono molte cose, a volte parecchio inquietanti…petizione per l’abrogazione del Lodo Alfano, leggete, firmate, diffondete. http://www.petitiononline.com/mp0d0010/petition.html

Finita anche questa quarta edizione del Crack!….quest’anno davvero uau…oltre cento autori, nessuna selezione, tanta genuinità, tanta qualità e tante tantissime persone di tutti i tipi e moltomolto curiose, nessun ordine prestabilito ma un fottutissimo caos che si autorganizza sempre a colpi di meraviglia.  (qualche foto qui)

P.S. I miei Japantrip (geta amore e fantasia) sono piaciuti davvero tantoatutti anche al Crack e su Craftershock li hanno appena recensiti YO!

Thanks to Craftershock.com for posting my Japantrip
