Hanging-on bathroom art #2

1st issue is here.

People here and there

Some weeks ago, while I was in Croatia, I started a new pocket sketchbook.
Even if I use to change subjects and tools, this new sketchbook took suddenly some kind of "personality" that hasn't changed so far. Now I'm on page 35 (more or less in the middle) and trying to keep the continuity till the end.

La Certosa di Bologna

Some months ago my SketchCrawl fellow Sara insisted on include the Cemetery of La Certosa on our route. It was a real discovery. Since that day I've come back several times. After 8 years living in Bologna, I wonder why nobody had told me about this amazing place before.





Here are some photos.

Pocket Sketchbook #7

My pocket sketchbook between april and july 2009. Almost all sketches where made from life in Bologna, Casalecchio, Ravenna and Vignola (Italy), Jávea and Gandía (Spain) and Porec (Croatia).

Vacation (2nd. part)

More from my vacation in Porec, Croatia. Apart from the sketches of the previous post, I made 66 quick portraits of the people around. 52 of them can be seen on the last pages of this sketchbook (at that point I ended it and started another one, not ready yet). These are some samples.

Vacation

Sketches made some days ago in Porec, Croatia.

Everyday Sketchbook #2

Unlike other mine sketchbooks this one never came with me out of home. It used to be open on my desk for everyday work (first scribbles of storyboards, character designs, fair/event design) but also for TV portraits, figure drawings, studies on other artists, good, bad, mad and stupid ideas, doodles, to do's and everything else.
A 18.10.2008 Ω 18.06.2009
Music: Ivan Lins, "Depois dos Temporais" (Depois dos Temporais, 1983)

Kraft paper sketchbook

Customized kraft-paper sketchbook (I made the wire- binding on a copy service in order to open it 360º). It's been a mate for almost 6 months in which I filled it of every idea (or non-idea) comming to my head and/or my hand: scribbles, sketches, public life, portraits, TV drawings, still lifes, designs, projects and so on. Made in Bologna, Casalecchio, Jávea and Venezia between december 22, 2008 and june 6, 2009.
Music: Chauncey Olcott (1858-1932), "My Wild Irish Rose" (Keith Jarrett, piano, 1999)
