Hey! Just got back to the San Francisco after being over in europe for a bit. Pretty fucking awesome. Went from England, chunneled to Paris, then over to Italy. Italy was amazingly hot and humid when I was there... you really couldn't walk anywhere in the afternoon in Rome without being drenched in sweat in two seconds. Shock for someone coming from the perpetually cold-ish SF. Heh. Here's some of my sketchbook from over there:


master copies from louvre

Paris bridge and line for musee


Venice, Paris

Paris

Angry Italian train, Rome

Paris, French carnival workers

Paris


Florence, florence mini-bus

Paris

Paris, girl in starbucks
Got tired of my paints, and got some oils. Rome.

Hi Monico, I'm really glad you take the time to visit my blog!
It's a pity you didn't find new comics when you was in Italy! Maybe you really were looking in the wrong places (yuo can buy italian comics either in an "edicola" or in a "fumetteria", a shop specialized in selling comics)!For your next trip to Italy I will glad to give you some hint! ;)

Soon I will write a post about your awesome stuff...
Thank you, and ciao!

All really awesome sketches man. It doesn't seem like you wasted any time at all.

Tara said...

rad. That's all. It's all skilled and techniquely pleasing and all that, but I particularly love the distorted torso in the paris carny sketches. Yes.
