Let's raise awareness, let's give children their smile back, let's be "heroes" and make a difference. Childhood is a time of happiness and bloom, early screenings can prevent cells from spreading and damaging the body or make treatment more effective, so that children can live their spring and flourish in full joy. We have done so much and we can do much more...
finally springtime...never enough!
People hugging one another...maybe just a dream...maybe one day...
Let's conclude this short a-bird-a-day blogging with this one. Maybe we have more in common with our feathered friends than we think, maybe something light, maybe our longing for the highest blue. Up on top is where they belong, feeling the free air, spreading their wings reaching for the day, where do you think we belong? Turning our heads to the sky, dreaming the far and the near, waiting for the next season to fly and feel the breeze...
Let's start the week with colors!
I apologize for the lack of birds, but I was just waiting for this special one to come to me...he appeared at last and he was most welcome!
Bird of the day! Well...he could really help most of us!
Let's start the week with this one...
For the next days I've decided I will be posting birdie birds daily.
Been experimenting with typography...last day I had this one cut on a woodblock, the result is interesting and I kind of like the shadow of letters cast on the surface below...
I will be working on it more...
Marking Holocaust Memorial Day...just to remember the shameful atrocity, just to learn and not to stain our dignity again. When I think that human mankind/manMind can fall so low and deep in the belief of his own (apparently) high sense of righteousness, sometimes even justice, I just feel sick and so fragile...liable to fall. Remembering what we did it's remembering what we are and who we want to be, as individuals and part of the "whole". I think that what John Donne, many years ago, wrote in his meditations, fits very well this matter and should...make us meditate...
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
Truly honoured to start this brand new year with a great news. I have a new agent, in addition to my fantastic Australian one, to represent me. It's Caroline Seidler and I'm very stoked to be among her talented and skilful artists!
Season's Greetings to all! May your Christmas and New Year be magically colorful!
Sneak peek of an illustration I did for OuThere magazine about mining industry...soon will be up on my website...
