One of the core group of "pirates" Red Mutti consists of a pair. Mister E. and Lady VenerdìNo. People devilishly funny.
Mister E. is a scholar of gender and Splatter tattoos, while Lady VenerdìNo loves philosophy but, sniffing the air and with great pragmatism, is past all'Estetistica Aesthetics. The two, in addition to sharing their lives, love for comic books (especially Dylan Dog), a house, a couple of cats and draft a future honeymoon trip in Japan, are part of a band i "COSMIC RADIO ROCK ZOMBIE" and they cover Horror Punk.
The band's name, for the uninitiated, is a nice quote from the comic more trash-metal Universe, namely: LOBO DC.
fact, COSMIC RADIO ROCK ZOMBIE is the station that broadcast 24 hours 24 favorite song by Lobo, namely: "I killed my people (it was not an accident)" Red of Oedipus.
strong name in a cartoon, but a little too long for a band ( note: these are not free of criticism and constructive ends ). A this remedy with the horrific T-shirt with glowing corpse, a great logo, a microphone Fifties, an original repertoire performed with energy and a strong dose unusually catchy and, strikingly, a healthy irony, which is rare and often lacking in established artists.
Yesterday, at the Gasoline Road Bar in Castlewellan, including beer mugs and a vague air of "Gallo's Roadhouse", were a pleasant surprise for me.
am a amateur band, but they sound so fun and entertaining, creating an aura of "B-movie" to "Grindhouse " that would love to Tarantino as a prelude or interlude in some gruesome murder.

Sometimes there are amazing things. Sure, we have become accustomed to the "Major Events" and stuck up their nose to the little things, those around the corner from our house, those who have a profile non-professional and spectacular.
Yet knowing see the extraordinary in what is not glamorous, gives often wonder and joy.
Like a Haiku, this humble exhibition (in the best sense of the word) devoted to Japan by the Xaverian Fathers Brescia may very lovely pics, can speak of a search of profound and delicate 'harmony, as can be seen in the kimono, in the screen and in all small objects linked to the traditions and rites of this country. You can tell by the delicate matching of colors, fabrics and materials, the sensitivity in the choice of forms and symmetries. There are kimono, there are samurai swords, items for the ritual of tea. There are brushes to write. There is a harmony
delicate as a petal and precious as a Haiku.

PS: I recommend you visit the Library of the Fathers Xaverian where everything is chaos. Among books stacked in bulk, stacked, dusty, you may be found in the book for you. Or you may simply come across in a robin flitting among the shelves as it happened to me today.

- December 31, 2010 -
E 'on the last day of the year and it is natural to make budgets and draw up a kind of double entry about his existence in the annual cycle. "
The most important event was undoubtedly the arrival of the little Roberto May 23. A form of modesty prevents me from expanding beyond my words, because happiness is also difficult to communicate and rightly remain so. Concerns "pre" and "post" the parties were many, but today everything is past and already seems so far away. diseases remain common, the watches of the night, antibiotics and aerosols.
in work was a horrible year and do not intend to expand further. courses for lay-offs have been numerous and variously interesting, though, in practice, there will be no relapse.
As for the beloved comic in a vain attempt to get to know more and more through a practical approach and "physical", I fought on several fronts with ups and downs and a widespread sense of frustration and ultimate defeat.
I have taken two courses with Red Mutti - dynamic and friendly as ever - and I attended the first year of "International School of Comics" the site just opened in Brescia.
academic year the school can not say anything but was very intense for both problems usually associated with the school for my personal problems that made me lose the last two and a half months. Nevertheless, with the help and support of good Dany Orizio I managed to take the final exam and pass the year even with a modest vote of course. I must say, with some severity, that failure is the formation of a "group", perhaps because of excessive shyness of individuals, perhaps because of the heterogeneity of approaches and especially the lack of incentives and opportunities for teamwork. It 'not a' view from above, "a comprehensive approach and also in terms of communication there have been many deficiencies.
The courses were challenging with Red and here, by contrast, has formed a "solid" (thanks to abundant watering beer post-course). One was held in Castiglione delle Stiviere (very inexpensive, thanks to the generous grant of the town) and all that's left is the drawing reproduced here from the side, after a few meetings, in fact, I had to give attendance:
The other was held in Lumezzane and is the continuation of the first, which produced the comic "The Secret Side" . I was able to attend it to the end, but not to complete all the boards. also to other students (or pirates, as we say now) do not have it done, so that the exhibition could not be taken as had happened a year earlier. of this rich experience are the "fragments" that are below and were designed in part as my contribution in the case had been held at the final exhibition.
And the future?
I'm still attending the pirates of Captain Red Mutti, a good course of ink ... and a graphics course, just to move a little bit of my curriculum.
Then we'll see!
