It’s a bit of a song I’m writing, this clip was recorded with my phone. I’m still learning how to play and sing decently simultaneously. I never felt like I fully belonged to any of the art worlds, because I am not an illustrator, not a comic artist, not a writer, not a photographer, not…
Silent Kings of Void
A loveletter to the Cassini Mission to Saturn Everything began in January 1986, when the first picture of Uranus was released. At that time she was just a child, but seeing that cerulean ball left a deep mark on her.. Since then she had unconsciously started to look at the sky differently, staring at the…
At Dusk
I wrote this song a few years ago, but never recorded it. I’m still not quite satisfied by my vocals because I always record on my worst days, in the morning, maybe on my period… but we have to start somewhere. My enunciation of english words is not the best, I reckon, but I’m bad…
La mia condizione tra arte e fibromialgia
Scrivo questo articolo un po’ per sfogo, un po’ perché spero che possa essere utile a qualcuno. Il mio intento è quello di cercare di spiegare quello che sento e di riflettere sulla condizione di una disegnatrice affetta da sindrome fibromialgica: come si può conciliare il lavoro con il disturbo? Come trovare serenità ed equilibrio?…
Silenziosi re del vuoto
[Photo credits: NASA] Tutto era cominciato nel gennaio del 1986, quando la prima foto del pianeta Urano fu resa pubblica. Allora lei era solo una bambina, ma l’aspetto alieno di quella palla azzurra l’aveva segnata nel profondo. Inconsciamente, da allora aveva cominciato a guardare il cielo in modo diverso, a fissare la Luna e a…
Il ruolo dell’autore
For we need stories to survive, to communicate. No impulse, no story, no expression. Pen, be my sword, the sword of the screenplayer, the compass of the director that leads the actors to the top of the mountain. Sono il tipo di persona che si pone tante, tantissime domande. Quando trovo una risposta alle mie…
2015 / New Year’s Resolutions of the Artist
2015 is about done, hurray. For some people it’s been a good year, for others a bad one; for people like me it’s been a mixed bag. This should remind us that it doesn’t matter if we’re good or bad, or mixed bags; we’ll die anyway. D’uh. So, what did I do, what did I learn this…
Your job is not a job
Since I was a child I’ve been told that “drawing” is not a job. It’s a stupid hobby and there is no chance to make a living out of it. In Italy there’s no market, nobody’s interested, nobody will publish your stuff. Well fuck them. Those were lies, and because of those lies I’ve grown…
A great tool for writing: Evernote
One of my biggest problem with writing – besides my tendency to be unbearably slow – was that I always had a hard time keeping my notes organized. In the last 15 years I’ve always kept my ideas, chapters and character profiles in word files, stored inside folders inside folders inside folders. I had the ‘characters‘…
