missed it

I must have read badly the instructions of a contest, so I left to this morning the scan of the picture, but the contest was ended actually yesterday at midnight. :-(
Anyway, since I did it I post it here.

Dragons

No, not born from my mind, this is a action figure of Kym, just "pinker".
No, non me lo sono inventata, mi sono messa a fare una statuetta di Kym, solo che l'ho fatto piu' sul rosa.

DrSketchy Toronto -Samara

A note for my readers... I got a ear infection last winter, which made me feel incredibly tired for around 3 months, so I didn't join Dr sketchy for a while as would be right after work until 10pm on certain Mondays.
I have to say also that I chose to don't go to Dr Sketchy Toronto when I think the model might be too sexual, as I'm just looking for something original with crazy elegant/old/folk costumes or comic style characters.
So finally other new sketches with a charming model, Samara.
Anyway, I've finally started my Fabriano Venezia drawing book, that was gifted to me from Anna, Loic, Erin and Julien 3 years ago and never have the braveness to use such a good paper. Then Anna told me that paper is paper, it was gifted to be used. So here I am! And with this is my 3rd book of Dr sketchy art.
For who wants to see more, as usual you can go on my Flickr collection ;-)

Xmas in Australia

Finally the watercolors made during the travel I made with Kym on Christmas 2009/ New Year 2010!
As amazing can be wondering all these amazing animals and swimming in the ocean during Dec 28th, I wished I had more time to spend to wonder around. Kym and his family have been that nice to show me so many things and places anyway, I've been lucky with my tourism!
For friends and family, I'd suggest to give a look to the 2 new album "Australia" in Flickr. Who would miss mr. kangaroo hugging Kym?!!

Finalmente gli acquerelli fatti durante le vacanze di Natale 2009, stavolta in Australia, per conoscere i genitori di Kym.
Ho avuto l'occasione di ammirare animali esotici molto affascinanti e fare il bagno nell'oceano il 28 dicembre! Peccato che le ferie lavorative non permettano mai il tempo che sarebbe veramente necessario per visitare questi posti bellissimi. Cmq sono stata fortunata che Kym e la sua famiglia si siano presi l'impegno di farmi visitare molti posti e vedere molte cose.
Per amici e parenti suggerisco di andare a vedere gli ultimi 2 album nella cartella "Australia" nella nostra raccolta di foto in Flickr. Chi si vorrebbe mai perdere di vedere un canguro che abbraccia Kym?!!

Bruco & Stregatto

Sometime contest are good to give a shake to the ass.
A volte i concorsi sono buoni per dare una mossa al culo.

Visiting Ontario

Summer and Fall are been good chances to make some traveling around Toronto and further in the province of Ontario. For any Photo you can go on my Flickr account on Toronto and Ontario's collections.

So, in July: the lams at the Big Apple in Colborne (where you can buy and taste amazing apple pies), along the path to see the 1000 Islands (near Kingsdom)
In September we went to the National Park Awenda, 3 hours north of Toronto, quite beautiful site.












In the end of September we made a Winery tour in the Niagara reagion.
Then in October we went to do some pumpkin/fruits picking just outside of the city. Later in October we went to check the colorsof the trees in High Park, as Canada is famous for this in fall season.
ITALIANO:
Durante quest'estate ho visitato diversi posti nella citta' di Toronto e nella regione Ontario. In ordine, a Luglio siamo andati alle 1000 Isole e ci siamo fermati alla Big Apple di Colborne. Poi in settember siamo andati al parco Awenda e a fare un tour delle agricolture vinicole della regione del Niagara. In ottobre siamo andati nella periferia di Toronto a raccogliere zucche e altri vegetali, e poi abbiamo fato un giro al parco per vedere i colori dell'autunno. Per piu' foto, come sempre il link a Flickr e' disponibile.

Iron Giant Project

The project has been completed and many pieces are now exposed to the Labyrinth comic store on Bloor st. in Toronto, until the end of November. My piece actually sucks in comparison with these others that participated, so I invite you to go and see some real kick ass work on the blog! http://irongiantproject.blogspot.com/

Finally, after few versions (I deleted a couple from here) I re-layout everything in order to fit better the message and the style.
For who can't make a connection from it, is an elaboration of the short animated film that the kids watch at school, abut how getting safe in case of nuclear event. The cartoon is in bw, as the first version I made.

ITALIANO:
Il progetto si e' concluso pochi giorni fa. Si tratta di un tributo al film "I gigante di ferro" in occasione del suo decimo anniversario.
Se siete interessati, i vostri lavori verranno comunque esposti in linea. Vedere il link di sopra per maggiori informazioni.
La versione a colori e' quella che ho consegnato alla fine. E' un' elaborazione del filmato in bianco e nero che i bambini guardano a scuola, riguardo a come mettersi in salvo nel caso di attacco nucleare.

Dr Sketchy Toronto - part 2

I've joined more often Dr Sketchy in Toronto in the last period and lately some new colleague have joined it as well and they find it really amusement. Here some of them, but I'd like to re-direct who is interested in seeing more to my Flickr page.



Ho partecipato piu' spesso a Dr sketchy Torono ultimamente e inoltre qualche collega si sta interessando grazie a delle esperienze piuttosto divertenti. Qui posto qualche disegno, ma vorrei ri-dirigere coloro che sono interessati a vedere di piu' sulla mia pagina in Flickr.

Il Professore

This is my Typography teacher in High School. Well, he didn't have purplish hair, but a photo on Facebook that over 30 of his students enjoyed to elaborate. So did I ;-)

Questo e' il mio professore di Tipografia ai tempi dele superiori. Beh, non che avesse i capelli violacei, ma ha una foto su Facebook che piu di 30 dei suoi studenti si sono divertiti ad elaborare. E cosi' ho fatto anch'io ;-)

Skechcrawl per il mondo

Here some pictures from the one of June 2009, but I'm ready for the next one on September 19th. I see that there are not so many info about it in Italian, so for who can read English, I send you directly to the website and I wish you to have fun!

Che cos'e' lo Sketchcrawl?
lo Sketchcrawl e' un ritrovo di persone che disegnano i vari angoli della citta in cui ti trovi (se quel giorno sei a Firenze puoi metterti d'accordo con i Fiorentini ad esempio) disegnando qualsiasi cosa che tu voglia con la tecnica che preferisci, spostandosi insieme per riprodurre piu' aree (per questo alcuni la chiamano "Maratona di disegno").
L’idea è nata da Enrico Casarosa, genovese, residente a San Francisco, storyboard artist della Pixar dove ha collaborato anche nel recente Ratatouille e Up.

La gente che si aggrega puo' parteciparvi per tutta la giornata o solo per il tempo che si ha a disposizione. Se nessuno si aggrega alla citta' in cui sei, ed hai comunque provato a contattare altra gente (sul Forum) puoi andare cmq da solo/a o con i tuoi figli ed otterrai in realta' molti piu' disegni che seguendo un gruppo. In pratica non si svolge in tutte le citta'del mondo, non e' una cosa organizata da enti o comuni, ma dalle persone che si interessano: per questo c'e' un Forum, cosi' persone come te possono comunicare con chiunque voglia partecipare, anche chi non conosci (ancora).
Tu stesso puoi lanciare la prima pietra, ad esempio se sei di Milano, scrivere qualcosa come "allora, Suggerisco di trovarsi alle 10.30 sulle gradinate del Duomo e proseguiamo da li con la Galleria e poi andando in direzione di Castello Sforzesco".
Il secondo scopo del Forum e', alla fine della giornata o quanto prima riesci, pubblicare i disegni che hai fatto e guarare cos'hanno fatto gi altri da tutto il mondo e condividere assieme quello che e' saltato fuori, scoprire nuovi artisti o nuovi stili e trarne ispirazione.
Qui un esempio di cosa e' stato fatto a Roma durante lo scorso Sketchcrawl, in Giuno.
Spero che ora sia piu' chiaro. Buon Skethcrawl a tutti!

A day at the Zoo

Subway Sketching Toronto

I'm here since 4 month already. I didn't post so much.Yeah, lots of changes, and not a sketching group to join over here. Well, I went subway sketching with Bobby Chu a couple of times, but it happen to be at the same time I have to call my parents in italy... Can't do that in the metro...

.

......... Then I took the sketchbook with me and did anyway sketches any time I didn't had something to read (what I like of having to travel is actually having time for reading)
Torontonian are really interesting, in 4 square meters there must be 4 different races and many more ranges of age. Well, that is a selection (bad photo comp, yes, I still have to unpack the wacom) and as usual I am not good to be picky about the choice...

Drawing Day 2009

I went to the beaches of Toronto today to see what I could draw in occasion of the Drawing Day. I found a very nice spot on rocks full of cegauls and some canadian goose. The weather was wonderful and I think I'll enjoy this place more often from now on.

Dr Sketchy Toronto

Here I am, after living in Montreal for 3 years and then in Vancouver for 10 months, I have moved once again. This time im in Toronto, this time for work. Not for love like last time, but hopefully Kym will come here as soon as there will be the chance. Till then I'm here on my own, but I have a few good friends here already, that helped me to get introduced to the town and things.

Little Italy might not be as good as in Montreal and Vancouver, and Canada here looks less Canada and more America, while some other things stay the same, just with new people...
I didn't waste too much time. I found Dr Sketchy and some other arty entertainment... but we go with one thing at the time...
I've already talked about this "Dr Sketchy" many times over in my blog, and already spoke about the Cameron House about a year ago. But this time I could go to the theatre in the back of the pub, and enjoy the drawing session it with my friend Adele.
The model was dressing something indescribable, but definitely funny. Adele wanted to steal the pink disguise.
The only a negative thing was in the middle of the show. Because of a disturbing scary mask on a mermaid. I'm really impressionable.
The Cameron House, in the front pub, was exposing Buttons painted and with feathers, hanged on the walls.
Well, this is Toronto. People are slightly more crazy, I guess.
It will be fun.

Theme of the day: Sunny on an Elephant on his wedding Day

Jonathan and Jimmy thought to start to draw with a theme at the VSG.
As that was decided at the moment and we didn't get any internet/ magazine to check Indian style, there might be several cultural mistakes. Hope anyway Sunny will laugh watching this :P
