The Third Door.
Only half a Year.
a single material thing
this is the God I know,
a single tear of his presence,
and as I try to become one with it,
I find myself.
I Have no Ideas
yeah, pretty much all there is to it..
bubbleMania
colors everywhere, but only white in the end.
metamorphosis!
eventually everything starts moving again, the end in put in motion, change makes its entrance,
and then on again.
the 5 senses.
in the end, the 5 senses consist of nothing more than relentlessly eating different kinds of informations.
Images. Sounds. Tastes. Scents. Forms.
(before you're lost between the notes
...
dance dance dance)
the Immovable magnet.
isn't it incredible to think our lives could be all about going back to a single principle of unity, below the surface of all that is real?
rage and despair. wrath
we all have expectations. we think about what we love the most over and over again.
but most of the times, once we rise our eyes to face them in reality, we discover they have lost all magic.
they are left an empty shell of broken dreams.
philosophy lesson
religion has nothing to do with reason. Faith is never to be chained to the mind and mutilated by the boundaries of logic. let it flow free and she will envelop you in its embrace of love.
history lesson
it will happen again. that's the only lesson.
quite empty
something is
wrong, i might be wrong - radiohead
packed like sardines.
My Heart, My Soul, My.
like spinning plates - radiohead My Heart
talk show host - radiohead My Soul
always say what you think
on the back of a photocopy of a picture of a friend of mine on her desk,
after drawing on it I drowned it and this is the result of the ink on the back melting..
Eyefaith
So a classmate that was always interested in my drawings (and sometimes colored some, but I'll say which ones..) came one day and told me that a crazy guy walked into church and simply pulled out his eyeballs.
This episode hit me with such intensity I had to draw it immediately!
The Rain
a simple half-geometric, half-pure nonsense drawing made over a little poem I was writing about the rain, on a rainy day of a rainy time..
not so much to say about this one.. it was, so to say, pure inspiration.
The Killing Of Tybalt
at that time Romeo+Juliet by Baz Luhrmann , one of my favorite directors and n.1 at the time.
So I spent hours and days watching this movie and suddenly one day, during the scene of Romeo killing Juliet's cousin, I got captivated by Leonardo Di Caprio's performance and I felt that overpowering need to express the feeling I got, through this drawing.
philosophy
(babe..babe..babe..babe..babe..babe..babe....)
I kept experimenting on the newly-discovered colors, both with my usual way of drawing and with water.
unrainbows
simple math - manchester orchestra
my very first attempt to use colors in my drawings. I must say i was getting quite tired of all that black and white always making this gloomy.. that doesn't mean i stopped with these dark inclinations..
notes for a new religion
my second favorite Led Zeppelin song after Stairway to Heaven, I love this song to the point I don't quite get the reason why I put it next to this.. pretty normal drawing:
it did take me a lot of time and care, but the result is nothing special..
but I also don't get why almost nobody of my Led-Zeppelin-fan-friends
don't love this song as much as me.. maybe this is the connection
this one is dedicated to this song, one of the best from the top italian rapper Caparezza:
as every rapper, he's not all that refined(I really don't think they want to be..), but his music is real good and the songs are great!
this drawing was made during this time with the purpose of illustrating my next playlist.
But for every playlist that I made after it I could not find a proper one, so only recently I made one STARTING FROM this drawing
another bunny ruler
again I got back to the ol' Ruler of al there is, but a lot of time had passed from when I first drew it, a lot of new information, inspiration, music and movies; one in particular:
System of a Down are the group that I ALWAYS listen to when I don't know what to draw,
when I'm tired of all the music, when I'm to tired to do anything
(which for me means: when I'm too tired to think),
because they are chaos, CHAOS with a reason.
probably my favorite Soad song, it always inspires dark but in some ways mystic thoughts, a feeling very different from the ones I usually get when I listen to their songs!
My mother asked me, during a card mach, which card did she think I could be impersonated by, and after thinking it through I answered that it was the ace of diamonds for sure
my knowledge of Radiohead had long since passed the point of "absolute favorite band, music-makers, artists", and from this point on for quite a long time you can always find them in my playlists
(except this one **)
sew and tear
not actually tore apart, but pretty much sewed together.
This is where I started to get very sick of being limited by ink and a sheet of paper.
hight five!
the first and one of the last drawings I made I ever liked, I often "envy" myself from two years ago for being able to make it. This competition with myself is something I feel very strongly and very often..
the third playlist I made and illustrated. It was the time when I began to know a lot of new music, that would soon turn into my indie passion. So, enjoy!
I was on the plane back from Miami, and the view of all the clouds from up above, beautiful, made me wonder about everything we see only from a prospective and that could turn out to be so magnificent if we could (or would..) only change our point of view..
Just my Imagination - Cranberries
I used to listen to this song so much when I was a very little and still lived in Rome, so it has a kind of melancholy in it for me; and this drawing makes no sense!
the first two playlists I illustrated: my mother travels a lot by car, so she asks me for some CDs with nice music in it. This request turned out to be a real hobby for me, and about two years ago (the time of these drawings) I began to also make the front picture of them;
These are Love & Other Sounds and Soundmatosis!
verbe: to be complete
only after you understand you're wearing a mask can you take it off.. or chose to keep it
inspired by an arrowy personality, jokes and some makeup
shoedirect!
this song makes me want to cry in a way I've never cried before
Sam Ash
I was in Miami and drawing while listening to a lecture I suddenly asked the teacher about the famous music shop Sam Ash
impressions. questions. requests?
