Robinson, Equestrian Artist

Orvieto and Orvieto
















Two beautiful Orvieto events this weekend, two events which I had the pleasure of being present as an author. First there was the "Food Village Award" of the area reserved for elementary schools, children have approached the magical world of comics explaining my short story and creating a short comic strip based on a screenplay by no means simple (l ' I designed and built for professionals). Needless to say that the works were all top-level (and not a manner of speaking) thanks to the inventiveness of children and the careful supervision of these teachers also perfect in the role of directors. The awards ceremony was held Thursday in the plaza of the Cathedral of Orvieto in front of a crowd of cheering children, the best possible setting for this event which is born of intuition Valerio Palmieri, a boy who offers time and money to make a little dream in I was a member too. Thank you all.

And now we move on to Orvieto Comics that has invaded the city on Saturday and Sunday involving citizenship, many fans and many onlookers. The first time it worked fine (an applause to Mark Reedy, Claudio Lattanzi and all those who helped out from the late teens to radiorvietoweb) with more than 4 million entries. All in all a great success. I I was present in two small conference on Sunday along with local writers and cartoonists in the morning while the afternoon I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the great writer and always a friend of Alessandro di Virgilio. Chats between two friends, two amazing moments behind us and ran the images from my graphic novel "the master" who gave me much satisfaction and continues to give me.

The event also gave me the opportunity to speak, (re) meet and know many people, local and other (one for all the nice Lorenzo Bartoli), a short but wonderful weekend full of commitments, there It would take many more. Orvieto comics is over just two days and already I miss ...

Remington Rifle 30.30

Village Food Prize Comics



It 's done. Orvieto is also open to the world of comics and, finally, we have the first event dedicated to comics. An appointment for 9 and May 10 in our small town. I was asked to participate (the terms have yet to be established but for me it will be a pleasure and an honor) and give a hand. There will be several friends and local artists and more, there are rumors on the presence of a great host still top-secret. For updates please refer to the website dedicated to the event to the following Address: http://www.orvietocomics.com/ . The radio online Orvieto also dedicated to the world of comics is also a broadcast, "Radio Krypton," which attempts to dissect and analyze what lies behind the comic, season with jokes and special effects. You can follow radio broadcasts logging in at: http://www.radiorvietoweb.it/ . I think that's all for now, partly because there will be plenty to do in the coming days, however I will keep you updated. For the moment I greet you, and please, if you feel like you look, in fact we are waiting to Orvieto. We support the comic strip, also in the province!

Pokemon Cakes Toronto

Among the larger Cartoon





I can not but be surprised and at the same time, happy. E ', of course, a great little gift that they wanted me and I am extremely happy. Mondadori showcase an entire library of my town is dedicated to comics with no apparent motivo specifico (non ci sono fiere dei comics a Orvieto), segno di una nuova sensibilità e attenzione a questo media? Speriamo. La cosa però che mi ha maggiormente colpito, inutile negarlo, è che accanto ai grandi del fumetto di ieri e di oggi (Gipi, Eisner, Pazienza, Miller, Satrapi ecc ...) ci sono anch'io con "Il Maestro". E' ovvio che il paragone con i grandi non esiste, ma essere insieme a questi nomi, anche solo per un momento e all'interno di una vetrina mi ha fatto un grandissimo piacere.
Grazie a tutti.

Sample Of Church Guest Letter

Well yes ... School cartoon caught me!


"Ebbene si, maledetto carter, hai vinto anche stavolta!" So said the opponent ever to Nick Carter on Supergulp. And, borrowing a part of the sentence, I say, "Yes, blessed school comics, you got me this time too." And 'in fact the second time that I appear monthly on the Rabbit publisher. The first was a quote from group linked to the site while cartaigienicaweb this time about my last editorial proposal "Sonny & Sambo." Also a great satisfaction because I had not sent any message to the magazine and so it was a real surprise for me to read the article in the good and attentive Andrew Light. What can I say, thanks to Andrea, a while back that cost Luca Boschi nice words about the project, a school and all the comics amici e potenziali lettori che sono passati sul blog: http://sonny-e-sambo.blogspot.com/ . Per finire devo aggiungere all'articolo del bravissimo Andrea una piccola nota, le nuove coloriste del progetto (che hanno sostituito l'altrettanto bravo Ivan Annibali in corso d'opera) sono Chiara Fabbri Colabich e Cristina Toniolo, due bravissime artiste che hanno già lavorato con lo studio Tenderini al fumetto Wondercity. Una citazione dovuta e meritata per queste due brave artiste e amiche.


Ora aspettiamo un editore ... avanti gente, avanti ...
