Can Skin Mottle Just From Being Cold

Elena Grigoli

Elena Grigoli : "Tom e Beatrice e il mondo dei gatti... forse il mio primo fumetto, disegnato su una delle tante agende che riempivo da piccina. Quando disegnavo, non scribacchiavo semplicemente... ma inventavo vere e proprie storie che spesso dicevo solamente a voce alta, come nel caso di questa famiglia di gatti. Il vizio di raccontarmi le storie me lo son tenuto fino a 15 anni.





Tom e Beatrice e il mondo dei gatti (1992)

This Bugs Bunny invested by the bora of Trieste, still makes me die laughing!

Among all my childhood drawings, sorry did not find what I did in second grade: depicting the god Ganesha, the elephant-headed child. I remember it well because the teacher showed it to the class that later filled me with insults (invidiosi!). That's why even now the compliments make me a strange effect. In my Valpolicella village climax they hitch I was a child as "artist" since they did not know half-measures: O you did not know you were drawing or an artist.
When you give this honor you already know what to expect: Each parish board, each drawing, each arrow to indicate the country fair, drew the designs them yourself. For some years ('98-2004, I think), I was also the official newspaper cartoonist countries: Armaron (which means closet, Verona).
the first picture I posted in my life ... hahaha perspective at will!
Ah, note that the same page, there was talk of Turin. A nice coincidence:)


first vignette, Armaron (1999)

In the same year also tried to make it truly an artist. At the country fair (the arrow) exhibiting my paintings: oils on canvas depicting child from goblins funny and colorful clothes. I have earned the first coin (because of the cartoons I did for free).
I've sold a dozen ... but you realize that someone has hung in the living room (or in the closet) of "gray" original? Among other things, unsold Verona have filled my room and my mother every now and then threatens to throw them, but so does not. I stopped them when a friend said to me, "ultimately these goblins have a sad expression."


clouds Weaver (2001)

At festivals also sold self-produced fanzine ... this type (as above, fill the unsold house. the rest has come under the clutches of some child and its markers)

Cervix Is High And My Period Is Due Tomorrow



Fabrizio Lo Bianco : "I believe to be the most shining example of" involution of the species in the field of design. Artist as a child, promising a teenager, 'na sewer as an adult.
At home, Cagliari, there are other self-produced comics on Dick Bastardly, Grendizer, Donald Duck, Peanuts, Mafalda, Beetle Bealey, Linus created by me and then another ... remember "Sgorbion" duck (the duck was inflated) superhero who had to save the world "laundry" from ... "Sgorbion" itself (an airplane had accidentally hit the hero that he fell down on earth and the fall had inadvertently pierce the planet). Everything is solved by our hero munching a disproportionate amount of chewing gum to create a huge bubble that can fill the gap. Then one asks whether comics can do harm to the children ... The creative
trip lasted up in junior high, when I met a nice teacher education Art in three years that I have trimmed the same rating: stimulating a "mediocre". It 'was the only one in my entire school career to inflict two notes on the log with accompanying forced by my parents. Just because I had fired at a piece of chalk. He rightly took it badly. If you take a crap, do it well. I had to throw a shoe. I anticipated my idol, Muntadar Al Zaidi.
Then I retried the way the designer after graduation in a course that teachers had the likes of Silvio Camboni, Bruno Olivieri and Michele Medda ... it was there that I realized how many talented designers are out there and how my drawings might like my mom and my girlfriend, but not a serious publisher.
Però qualcosa da raccontare ce l'avevo, ecco. Almeno, questo mi disse Bruno Enna. E insistette pure, il maledetto. Così un giorno ho lasciato perdere il disegno e mi sono dedicato completamente a sceneggiatura e scrittura in genere".

The metal band "White's Warriors" has never existed, but I design posters, album covers and interviews with those who do not me asking for. I had read that this system had worked with Def Leppard and I did not see why it should not work with me ...




studies project on pirates, 1998, 27 years


The pirate is part of a plan (never realized, sadly) was born on "incitement" by Silvio Camboni in the course of a Sardinian School of Comics.





Bring a cup in the morning , 1999 (28 years)

"Bring me a cup in the morning" is a tribute to Emily Dickinson and Art Spiegelman . Tell me what happened to make every morning for six months more convoluted in my late teens. It was part of an episodic series of tables for a wonderful fanzine, "Indigo," Ignazio Gavino Vinicio Fulghesu and Tedder, which in addition to host me (vergogna!) published illustrators like Clare Dattilo and Giorgia Atzeni which then culminates in major publishing houses for boys.




Paky the museum, layout masterpiece of 2009 (37 years played)


and here's the final version with the designs of Bruno, so as to understand the most naive as a great artist (Bruno) can make sense of the scribbles of a scribbler (MUA).
