Still waiting

3 min read
I've been waiting for 10 days to get a reply... how can it take so long?

La rosa,
la rosa immarcescibile che non canto,
quella che è peso e fragranza
quella dell'oscuro giardino della notte fonda,
quella di qualunque giardino e qualunque sera,
quella che risorge dalla tenue
cenere per l'arte dell'alchimia,
la rosa dei persiani e di Ariosto
quella che è sempre sola,
quella che è la rosa delle rose,
il giovane fiore platonico,
l'ardente e cieca rosa che non canto,
la rosa irraggiungibile

La rosa,
la inmarcesible rosa que no canto,
la que es peso y fragancia,
la del negro jardín en la alta noche,
la de cualquier jardín y cualquier tarde,
la rosa que resurge de la tenue
ceniza por el arte de la alquimia,
la rosa de los persas y de Ariosto,
la que siempre está sola,
la que siempre es la rosa de las rosas,
la joven flor platónica,
la ardiente y ciega rosa que no canto,
la rosa inalcanzable.

by J.L. Borges - from the poem book "La rosa profunda", 1975

I'm so muddled today... that I even took the decision off writing a journal entry! As you know, I'm too often absent from DA and I wrote very, very few journal.
However, today, I felt to drop few lines
Recently, I've been hanging out with a girl I like very, very much... the whole situation was quite complicated by a number of factors, such as that we are colleagues. However, yesterday, the main obstacles to our relation seemed solved!!
I was so, so happy since I was sure it was a new beginning.... Instead, this morning, I discovered it was a sad end. Indeed, yesterday, after I left.... she has decided to work on the tense relation she has with an other.
I'm wandering how, after many years, I'm still so incapable in judging my personal relations!!
I'm so sad and frustrated....

A sad year

1 min read
2012 will be remembered as one of the saddest year for the comic and illustration world. Two of the greatest artists, Sergio Toppi and Moebius, died this year. The 21st of August Sergio Toppi died. Together with Hugo Pratt, he was the greatest Italian comic illustrator ever.
The world of comics lost his most expressive, original and magnificent master...

Hi! recently I've so little time for drawing. My job is getting every day more time consuming and I've always to focus not only on research, but also on the preparation of lessons!! Thus, when I had a little bit of free time I'm too tired to start drawing...
However, I decide to participate to 3 illustration contests.
The first one was an Italian contest for non professional artist. The aim was to illunstrate a short tale bys E.A Poe.
The second is a international contest and the theme was "It is sheer madness" organized by Tapirulan www.tapirulan.it/concorso-cale…
The third is the prestigious "The Grammar of Figures Award" organized by the Bologna Children's book fair. www.bookfair.bolognafiere.it/e…

The first two are finished.... none of my works was even mentioned!
